Face To Face Ministries Podcast

All physical healing is temporary. Even raising the dead is temporary... what do you think would be more important? to be physically healed of a malady or learn how to stay present." - Paul Young Join us for another powerful conversation with our friend, and the author of bestselling book, The Shack, Wm. Paul Young. Paul always brings the gold and this episode is no exception. We talk about what he calls, "future tripping" and the power of learning to stay in the grace of just one day (which is not easy to do!). He also talks about his relationship with epilepsy which has been with him for the past few years. Paul recently started his own podcast which we both absolutely LOVE. He is releasing 12-15 minute episodes twice a week. Check it out at paulyoungpodcast.com

We had the privilege of joining nearly 60 Immanuel Approach Prayer ministers last week ministering to over 450 InterVarsity Staff members at their conference in Orlando.

As hosts of this show, you get to hear bits and pieces from us as we interview others, but it's not often we share our hearts to the extent we do in this episode. In this conversation, you will learn some of the things we're passionate about.  For more about us, the Immanuel Approach, and how we are raising up people to help others connect with Jesus, please join us Jan 22-26, 2024 for the Connect Others with Jesus Challenge Sign up up at immanueltraining.com/Challenge.

"Faith is not intellectual. It is experiential. It is Transformational - not Transactional." "God showed up? No - YOU showed up. He is already here!" “You can’t give away what you don’t have. I was giving away fear, shame, doubt, unworthiness, feeling alone, powerless - these were false identities. If you can say “I am” in front of it, it’s an identity." "Jesus came to usher in the Kingdom of God, not create Christianity." These are just a few of the gems from our guest, Donna Winship, who with her husband, Jamie, founded Identity Exchange. They are committed to "helping unlock the transformative power of knowing your true identity."  This conversation is rich with personal story and revelation that is bringing freedom and healing to many as they step into who they truly are, and understand more of who God is and how he feels about them.  Learn more about Donna and Jamie at identityexchange.com. And get Jamie's new book, Living Fearless, available now on Amazon.    

"When you have separation at the foundation of your theology, then retribution is part of your paradigm." "A God who looks away will create sons and daughters that can justify looking away. And a God who punishes will create leaders who are justified in punishing - and it's going to create bullies." "You can't flip a table (referencing Jesus in the Temple) if you're not willing to lay your life down for the person on the other side of the table. This is what we are missing. It becomes 'us' and 'them.' But, Jesus died for the person on the other side of the table." Welcome back for Part 2 of our paradigm shifting conversation with author and relational theologian, Jason Clark. We are exploring some things in this conversation that may potentiall bother you, but they may also resonate deeply with you. Our invitation is to ask Jesus for yourself. It is safe to ask questions. At the end of the day, let greater love be your compass. More about Jason at afamilystory.org Be sure to catch his podcast, "Rethinking God

Desparation (being 'desparate' for God) is often considered a high water mark for Christendom. But  as Jason quotes speaker and author, Graham Cooke, "A relationship where the son is always desparate for the father is dysfunctional." We're going deep with our friend, Jason Clark, whom you may remember from Episode 105 in our podcast. Jason will shake your theology in a good way as he challenges us to explore what it means live out of our union with God. The invitation is yours to step into the great freedom that comes from realizing that God never leaves. He is always with us. He is continually reconciling all things to himself. We may not always be aware, but we are invited to awaken. Plus, we've all probably looked at the Parable of the Sower through the lens of wanting to be good soil... but what if it's more about the sower and the seed? Hang on for a paradigm shift! Don't miss part 2 coming soon! Find more from Jason at afamilystory.org, and @jasonclarkis on all the socials. Check out his new book, "Leav

"If you want to learn something, watch someone do what you want to learn. As you watch. your brain will begin downloading and copying, changing like the person who is demonstrating. You will start demonstrating the skill simply by watching. "When you engage with the living presence ofJesus, the right hemisphere of your brain is watching Jesus. Your brain is literally becoming more like the mind of Christ." In Part 2 of our recent conversation with Dr. Karl Lehman, MD, hear the how and why behind InterVarsity embracing The Immanuel Approach for all their staff and students. You'll also learn some brain science about the fascinating power of mirror neurons. Be sure to listen to the front of this podcast as Cathy and Melinda share some important opportunities ahead for the ministry, and how you can be part of it. Thank you for being part of our podcast family!

"When it comes to improving mental and emotional health: What if you could make it more efficient? What if you could make it more gentle? What if you could make it consistently and predictably more effective?" Join us for another conversation with our mentor, Dr. Karl Lehman MD, founder of The Immanuel Approach, as we take a look at this model from a much bigger perspective. The Immanuel Approach is not just about inner healing. That is simply one item on the buffet. It's also about spiritual formation, true discipleship, developing greater discernment, receiving comfort directly from Jesus, learning how to interact with and process things with Jesus, and practice more powerful intercession. It's about friendship with Jesus and becoming more like him. If you have experienced a life-changing encounter with the living presence of Jesus, Dr. Karl also shares with you how you can help get the word out. For more conversations with Dr. Karl, see Episodes 13, 14, & 93. Learn more about The Immanuel Approach at i

What does Jesus mean when he says that we are to love others as we have been loved? And how can we even do that if we have not first truly experienced "being loved" by Jesus? Our guests in this episode have focused their ministry on helping people understand what it means to be truly loved. Dr. Mark Fee is the son of theologian, Gordon Fee, and sister of one of our recent guests, Dr. Cherith Nordling. You're going to enjoy meeting him and his ministry partner, Rachel - who has a profound healing story of her own.  Find out more at firstlovedministries.org

"So many people have allowed trauma to become the primary narrative of their life. It’s how they get attention. It’s how they feel about their lives. It’s important that we help them step out of that identity and step into the identity of who they really are in Christ and walking the dream of God for their life." Our guest today, Dr. Mike Hutchings, is the Director of Education for Global Awakening. He is also the Founder of the God Heals PSTD Foundation which equips churches to minister healing to those who suffer from PTSD from the wounds of war and life. We hope you enjoy this episode, and our opening bumper - which was literally recorded "from the road" between 2 trainings out west. It includes a now humorous "could-have-been-a-catastrophy" personal story involving a couple of moose.

"I could let him be God for me, but couldn’t let him be human for me." "Where the image of God is, there is the presence of God. The presence of God was meant to rest in human beings." What does it mean to be human? What is the significance of Jesus, the Son of God, entering humanity? What is a "breathing ceremony" in the context of the image and likeness of a King? What does the Creation narrative tell us? And, "What is mankind that you are mindful of them?" (Psalm 8) Explore some deep waters with us in the continuation of our conversation with theologian and professor, Cherith Nordling. Your eyes will be opened to profound truths as she unpacks the beauty of our humanity and the image of God that we all carry. If you're enjoying this podcast, we'd love for you to let your friends know. This conversation is way too good to keep to yourself.

"There is never a minute that God does not see us with him. I move through the world as a finished daughter of the Most High. God has so much compassion for me because I don’t know that yet." Our conversation with Dr. Cherith Nordling, PhD, will draw you in to the beauty of what it means to be human. You will come to love this teacher and mentor in theological education and formation who is also skilled in Nonprofit Organizations, Pastoral Counseling, Leadership, and Preaching. Strong professional with a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) focused in Theology from University of St. Andrews. With all of those credentials, you might be surprised to find her also very accessible and real. Our conversation grew as we continued to talk and we realized quickly that this would be only part 1 of our conversation. Part 2 is coming very soon where we talk more about learning how to be a human from the Son of God. 

Join us for a powerful, Kingdom conversation with our new friend, Arun Bulchandani, as we explore the importance of caring for our physical bodies, understanding how creation fits in, and learning what it means to experience oneness with Christ.  Connect with Arun: Web: unionflow.com Instagram: @abulchandani Facebook: @unionflowco

We are very excited to introduce you to Leif Hetland, who is the founder and Director of Global Missions Awareness, and the author of several books, including his latest, The Love Awakening. This man is full of joy and he shares it wherever he goes. We have some great conversations about Gen Z, and what God is doing among that generation right now, and also about experiencing and sharing the love of Jesus with others. We also find out something very encouraging from him about our book, Streams of Healing, which you can order on Amazon right now. Find out more about Leif and his resources at leifhetland.com

God is moving in sweet and powerful ways among Gen Z right now. No matter what you want to call it, something is definitely happening and it is sweetly and powerfully impacting that generation and more on college campuses such as Asbury, and even in some churches across the country. Many students are connecting with the love of God in ways they never imagined. We have some important thoughts on this that may help give you more context for what we do and why we do it. We talk about it in the first 10 minutes of our show today. We hope you'll stick around for that before we head into our conversation with Trisha Frost. The connection here is that Trisha's story is one of how an encounter with the love of God literally changed her family - and it happened at another outpouring of God's love in the early 90's at a church in Toronto.  Learn more about Trisha Frost and Shiloh Place Ministries at shilohplace.org.

We're back for our 5th season with a fascinating and helpful conversation with Retired US Army Brigadier General, Ray Woolridge, Executive Director of Life Model Works.
