MAPS Global Podcast

What does it mean to be a “priest?” In this podcast episode, R.A. Martinez discusses how prayer, worship, and ministry to the Lord are central to the call of the believer, and how we can cultivate atmospheres that are presence-centered and modeled after heaven. This conversation also shares details about the launch of our School Of Prayer And Worship.

In this episode, R.A. Martinez talks with two of our MAPS Global missionaries to discuss the unique calling, language, experience, and challenges surrounding the black missions movement. Listen as they share their personal journey pursuing God’s call to missions as a black man and black woman. Hear them cast vision for the mobilization of “black arrows” and the building of healthy, multicultural training environments for missionaries of every race & ethnicity to be launched into the nations.

R.A. Martinez gives commentary on our current sermon series, “With Jesus on the Mountain.” Recorded in Matthew 5-7, the Sermon of the Mount is Jesus’ first public and longest recorded sermon in the gospels. Jesus’ main focuses in these chapters are what we belong to (the Kingdom), who we belong to (the Father), and how we interact with both (love and obedience). It is the constitution of the “upside-down Kingdom”. Here, losing is winning, suffering is joy, and enemies are loved. We discuss how this is the only way of life for the Church. What does it look like to be a disciple of Jesus? Listen to this discussion! (You can find the actual weekly sermons on our Weekend Services Podcast.)

Listen as R.A. Martinez and Sherrie Moore start a conversation about their individual journeys with divine healing! These powerful backstories set the stage for the prophetic storyline of our MAPS Global family concerning the promises of supernatural power, signs, wonders and miracles.

Prayer is the means by which weak humans communicate with the uncreated God. This is the great wonder: every morning we wake up and stumble into cosmic significance because the Sovereign King of the universe has chosen to talk to us. When we engage in that conversation, He accomplishes His will in each of us personally and realizes His purposes on the earth. This then begs the question: “What is Prayer, and how do we do it?" In this podcast, R.A. Martinez sits down to define three different types of prayer and how to engage in each of them to build a vibrant and powerful life of prayer.
