Brave Men Podcast with Paul Louis Cole

You're gonna love this short Easter devo. Jesus said in John, “The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they (people everywhere) may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the fullest, letting it overflow, a better life than they ever dreamed of!)” He said he came to give us life to the fullest! Today on BraveMen we talk about Easter and the victory of the Cross! A few months earlier Jesus walked into Bethany where his friend Lazarus had just died and he was accosted by Martha, Lazarus's sister. She said, "If you had been here sooner my brother wouldn't have died!" Jesus told her that Lazarus would live again. She took that to mean in the end time resurrection. But Jesus meant RIGHT NOW. Jesus said, "You don't have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live.” Jesus is always about "Right Now!". He has defeated death, defeated satan and forever destroyed the works of the enemy – in your life. Personally. In your life Jesus has defeated despair, anger, anxiety, fear, temptation, disappointment, discouragement, selfishness and jealousy. Easter is not about waiting for something someday somehow somewhere ... but living your best life in Christ TODAY!

One of the most underrated men in the Bible is a man named Barnabas. He’s the man who believed in the terrorist Paul after his radical conversion, believed in Jon Mark after his failure and walked beside men to encourage their best life. He’s rarely mentioned ... but he helped change the world. That’s the theme of this powerful conversation with faith leader Paul Andrew. He’s building a Barnabas network specifically to come alongside and encourage pastors and leaders. Paul and his author wife Andi have pastored Liberty Church in New York for over a decade. They pioneered it, moving from Australia direct to New York City, without a network or backstop – brave followers of Christ. But, now they’re moving out into a new thing – this is a remarkable story. Paul Andrew is a courageous man who will encourage your heart and give you a stronger energy to go after all of your dreams. Join Paul and Paul in a journey to wholeness and strength and lifting up others – becoming Barnabas.
