Podcast Coming Soon

The Reluctantly Supernatural Podcast was created because many Christians in the Western Church are uncomfortable with the supernatural dimension of our Christian faith. We pay lip service to believing in a supernatural God, but we have an aversion to supernatural experiences. Part of our aversion is cultural – we live in an age of reason. If we can’t measure it and explain how it works, we are suspicious of it. Part of it is our fear of the unknown. Another part involves our fear of be...

Have you ever been disappointed?

The day prior to teaching on prophecy at our church I had a conversation with a friend from out of town. When I told her that I would be teaching about prophecy the next day she said she would rather not come because so many of the wonderful future “words” she had received had not come true. I suggested that rather than focus on prophetic words about the future, how about being open to something God might want to say to her about her present situation, or her present relationship with Him.

You Never Know Unless You Try

Here is an email I received yesterday. I pray this inspires you to give it a try.

Dear Pastor Mark,
Thank you so much for your message yesterday on the gift of prophecy. I was greatly encouraged by it. As you asked your congregation to pray for one another, I prayed for a friend who I was going to see later in the day.

How can I get some peace?

Hello again, the last time I spoke with you we talked about trust, particularly in the time of the Corona virus (see https://youtu.be/cOEl4Purhqc)

We are in a position where peace is very difficult to find, and I mentioned that peace and trust are related. The more we trust God the more peace we have, and the question becomes where does trust come from? What can we do to build trust? At the end were going to do a directed meditation, which i think is going to help a lot, so that gives you...

Psalm. 133:1-3 How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity!
