Happy Holidays - You Have an Enemy!
On this week’s show we have a special Christmas season episode as we journey through the context in which we live- a love story set in the midst of a great war. Revelation 12 paints a very different picture of Christmas than nativity scenes and Away in a Manger. What does this tell us about this time of year and the Larger Story God is telling? What does this have to do with our seemingly ordinary, everyday lives and walking with God? With fresh stories of walking with God in fighting “the good fight”, Jon & kD keep it real for the holidays.

A Conversation with Professor Mike Part 2
Join kD and Jon this week as we welcome Professor Mike Martin back into the studio. Mike is a 4th degree black belt in BJJ and is our teacher in the practice of Jiu Jitsu. In part 2 of this conversation with the professor, we take the journey into Mike’s practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Mike also walks us through his faith journey- his journey from essentially identifying as a Christian into the deeper water of becoming a true follower of Christ. We see where God rescued Mike through BJJ. We begin the show with pressing into Mike’s gentle spirit by way of a prophetic word spoken over him years ago (Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. (Philipians 4:5 NASB)). Much like last week, we cover a range of topics from the “gospel” of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, to competing in a combat sport as a follower of Jesus, into intentionality in life.

A Conversation with Professor Mike Part 1
In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu culture the word “Professor” means “Teacher”. Join us as we welcome Professor Mike Martin to the studio. Mike is a 4th degree black belt in BJJ and is our teacher in the practice of Jiu Jitsu. In part 1 of a 2 part conversation with the professor, we journey through Mike’s early years. Mike also takes us on an unexpected journey through the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis, which he calls “the hero’s journey”. From the subject of God as Father and our belovedness as his children, to the reality of attachment love, into the subject of racial relations and how the Kingdom of God comes into play as the unifying force and The Solution among followers of Jesus who have different ethnic backgrounds, this conversation weaves in and out of a variety of powerful subject matters.

What is Original Glory?

What is Original Glory?
This week we talk more in depth about the origin of OG. What does Original Glory mean? What is OG symbolic of and how does that symbolism impact our lives? David quotes Saint Irenaus, “The glory of God is man fully alive.”  What is that glory? What does a restored glory look like? How do we walk in that glory in greater measure? Jon and kD will dive into these questions through the story of OG, their own personal stories and the intersection of the story of OG with their stories.  Shout out to Christine Kidd! We talk about how Christine designed the OG Monogram logo.

A Conversation with a Kingdom Black Belt - [RE]DISCOVER JESUS

A Conversation with a Kingdom Black Belt - [RE]DISCOVER JESUS
Becky is a mom and runs a ranch at her home In Pendleton, Oregon. She is a powerful intercessor and is the show director for Happy Canyon at the Pendleton Roundup. She is also an author and a good friend. She would probably tell you all of these things are just assignments from God and not her identity. At a deeper level, she is a friend of God and a beloved daughter of our Father. This is true for all of us as followers of Christ. The incredible thing about Becky is that she knows it. She knows it in the way we have been discussing on knowing on the OG Podcast- as an experiential, interactive knowing at a heart level, as a further knowing of something known previously at a more introductory level. For this reason and more that will become evident in this week’s show, Becky is a Black Belt in the Kingdom of God.    This is a very special episode of the OG Podcast. Not only is it our first female guest (we pray that there will be many more!) but it is also one of those conversations that caused us to pause and thoughtfully consider with God the direction of the podcast in a larger sense. This is a special and rare conversation. There are times of interactive prayer and powerful kingdom realities that will give you pause as well. With Becky’s story we get a picture of what the possibilities are in our walk with God. Pour yourself a cup of Joe, sit back, give this your full attention and enjoy a conversation with a Kingdom Black Belt, Becky Waggoner.    If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it Share it Review it   Story is the language of the OG Podcast. Through story we are [RE]DISCOVERING JESUS and who we are in Christ.

[RE]DISCOVER JESUS - The Most Important Thing Part 2

[RE]DISCOVER JESUS - The Most Important Thing Part 2
When we closed our interview titled A Journey Into Wisdom with our good friend Steve McIndoo, Jon asked him a question that was essentially attempting to ascertain where Steve had come to in his journey- what is the most important thing in life? To which he replied, “Intimacy with Jesus.” Full stop. Although that answer did not catch us off guard, it did give us pause. We wanted to have Steve back in the studio for a 2 part conversation in our [RE]DISCOVER JESUS series to give this category the time it deserves and have some dialogue around intimacy with Jesus. In so many ways, that is ultimately what we are after here on the OG podcast- a deeper walk with God.    In Waking the Dead, John Eldredge says, “We take folks through a discipleship program whereby they master any number of Christian precepts and miss the most important thing of all, the very thing for which we were created: intimacy with God (my emphasis added). There are, after all, those troubling words Jesus spoke to those who were doing all the “right” things: “Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you’” (Matthew 7:23). Knowing God. That’s the point.   You might recall the old proverb: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The same holds true here. Teach a man a rule and you help him solve a problem; teach a man to walk with God and you help him solve the rest of his life.”   If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it Share it Review it   Story is the language of the OG Podcast. Through story we are [RE]DISCOVERING JESUS and who we are in Christ.

This week we pick up on our 2 part series journeying deeper into what it might look like to progressively walk with God in greater measure through Jon’s story. As we move through his story, we see a progression of Jon’s walk with God. From receiving God’s wisdom and guidance through journeymen who are further down the path, to beginning to practice hearing God’s voice on a regular basis, to an intimate, conversational walk with God, we get a picture of the process by which Jesus takes his followers into a more interactive relationship with himself, the Father and the Spirit.  If you haven’t heard the 2 part series on hearing God’s voice, you’ll want to go back and listen to those episodes as well.

Have you ever wondered why we talk about our faith journey in terms of our salvation story but tend to stop there?

We have a special guest back in the studio with us as we dive deeper into Jon’s story. His 2 part story leads us on a journey not into salvation, but further down the narrow road as well- into recovery from self and what it might look like to progressively walk with God in greater measure over time.

Hearing God - A Conversation about Hearing God’s Voice Part 2
This week on the OG Original Glory Podcast, Jon and kD continue with part 2 of a 2 part series around hearing the voice of God. We begin this episode moving into the category of walking in step with the Spirit. We take an in-depth look at what it looks like to “walk by the Spirit” (Gal 5:16). Our stories and discussion also contrast walking according to the Spirit vs. walking according to the flesh. You will see a live example of how the Spirit vs. the flesh is in operation in the podcast. As we get a clearer picture of what life in the Spirit looks like, we will transition into hearing God’s voice through the “still small voice”. We also tell some stories about how God speaks to us through nature. Our aim in this series is to make hearing God accessible. Our larger aim is [RE]DISCOVERING JESUS. As we encounter God, we discover who we truly are.

We will also help you remove some barriers that might be blocking you in hearing God’s voice. Jon begins the conversation by telling a story of the first time he remembers hearing the voice of God. Through this story, we push into some core assumptions that can either help or hurt in hearing God’s voice. Our larger aim is [RE]DISCOVERING JESUS.

Revelation: An Interview with “The Doctor” Part 2

Revelation: An Interview with “The Doctor” Part 2
This week we continue our journey into Revelation with our good friend “The Doctor”. In this episode Rick relates stories of how he walks with God in the marketplace. Ultimately, we enter into discovery of how God works in unconventional ways through unconventional people in everyday, ordinary circumstances; thereby, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Through Rick’s Wild stories of walking with God in a very unique way, a way that only The Doctor can, we get a picture of what it looks like to walk more fully in God's revelation of himself to us personally. We also get a picture of what it might look like to live as God’s friend, his intimate ally. We love Rick. He is a character- think Old Testament character. One of the things we appreciate about him is how he changes the way we think about what your typical Christian man looks like. David was a character. Peter was a character. Abraham was a character “and he was called a friend of God”. (James 2:23 ESV) In the same way, God calls The Doctor “friend of mine”. In all of this week’s episode we continue to discover what God is like through the stories told.  If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it Share it Review it Story is the language of the OG Podcast.

Wisdom and Revelation

Wisdom and Revelation
This week Jon and kD turn the word success on its head and redefine success as a life lived with God- the “with God” life. We press into what it looks like to walk in both wisdom and revelation. As we move deeper into wisdom we begin to turn the corner and encounter revelation as well. In this week’s episode the Spirit illuminates how the two go hand in hand- wisdom and revelation. We explore revelation as the revealing of the person of God in Christ by pressing into personal stories as well as stories of a couple of characters in scripture, Paul and Solomon. By comparing and contrasting their lives we find ourselves asking, “Was Paul better off than Solomon?” Although Solomon was under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in his writing, Paul had more fullness of revelation in Christ with the Spirit living inside of him. Did Paul live a more fulfilled life than Solomon? We’ll let you ask the Spirit to reveal that to you.  Jon tells stories of how Steve, our guest from Episodes 4 and 5, helped him move further down the path from wisdom to both wisdom and revelation in his walk with God. David tells a story of how Jesus came through in making a way to go on a mission trip in a season where there seemingly was no way with limited financial resources. The episode ends with Jesus speaking the word, “segway”. The episode ends-up serving as transition into our further exploration of walking in the fullness of both wisdom and revelation.  If you're enjoying the podcast, we would ask you to: Follow it Share it Review it We’ve found the stories of other people who walk with God so helpful in gaining an understanding of the ways God works and what it might look like for us to walk with God.
