• Growing with the Spirit

    Before I got to college, I knew little about the Holy Spirit. But by the time I graduated, I was a different person. During my college days, I played in a worship band with some friends at a Pentecostal church and we took our music on the road a handful of times. It was there…

  • Designated Catcher

    I was still learning about the Holy Spirit when a well known minister by the name of Mahesh Chavda came to town. I was asked by a college professor of mine to attend the event as a “catcher.” In other words, it was my job to catch the people who fell over under the power…

  • End Times Q&A

    This Sunday we tried something a little bit different for service. I read 2 chapters of Jesus’ comments on the end times, and then using the webpage Slido, I took and answered various questions from our congregation on the confusing reading. You can check it out on the 1208PODCAST. Check out this podcast episode on 1208GREENWOOD’s…

  • Potato Chips Music Video

    Growing up, both my brother and I loved making ridiculous videos. That being said, we got a little bored last night and after about 5 hours, had written, recorded, and edited this ridiculous music video about potato chips. Enjoy.

  • Prophetic Words at a Catholic School

    My professor wasn’t much of one to let his students get away with simply inheriting knowledge—he loved to set us up to practice what we were learning. So when a Catholic school in town invited him to bring a team to pray for healing for the attendees of a special event, he threw me right…

  • The Rise of the Water Kingdom Audiobook Preview

    In light of our natural breaking point in Genesis on the 1208PODCAST (iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Webpage) today I took a break to give a quick sample of my new book/audiobook, The Rise of the Water Kingdom. Comment below for an Audible promo code for the book (while supplies last when the book is released sometime…

  • I Met the Holy Spirit at College

    Growing up, I never felt like I was given good answers to my questions about the Holy Spirit. Supposedly He was in me and reminding me that I was saved, but that was about it. Salvation was His endgame and it seemed to be all He was interested in—well, that and He also did miracles…

  • Jesus VS The Prosperity Gospel

    On an extreme end of Christianity we come across a view that treats God as though He is just looking to prosper, bless and protect both us and our nation. But the Gospels show us that there is a major misunderstanding here. He proclaimed blessing over the people we don’t want to be: The poor…

  • Prophetic Politics

    “There’s no need for politics in the church,” you might say after reading the title of this post. But statements like these miss the entire middle part of our Bibles we call the major and minor prophets. These books are filled with declarations of how nations must change their attitudes spiritually, personally and politically. The…

  • Teaching a Supernatural Bible

    The very subject of the Holy Spirit is part of what inspired me to become the third generation pastor that I am. Growing up I wanted to be a pastor like my dad, but then eventually found music and chased it around for awhile. In college, I eventually met the Holy Spirit and traded in…
