Bryan interviews Gary Steffes, a Journey Champion in Palm Bay, FL, who leads Virtual Journey Groups with men all over the country, with a particular focus on athletes, coaches and people in the world of Sports.  Gary was a professional hockey player, before being called into ministry.  He served as a Co-Regional Director in Bakersfield for a season, before God launched him to start a ministry called Pure Encouragement.  Bryan and Gary “geek out” on God’s Word as they talk about many examples of men who personally abandoned themselves and absolutely trusted God, which led to amazing fruit.

Bryan reports live from the Influencers Staff Retreat in Gulf Shores, AL and interviews three Global Board members, Danny Fields, Gary Harris and George Carnall who comment on what they are witnessing in our staff and the ministry health.  Listen and you will get a window into the heart of our leadership and the DNA of this ministry.

Bryan interviews Ken Lander, one of our International leaders and a champion with Souly Business, as they talk about the heart work that the Holy Spirit has to do to give us freedom from the past, often from wounds which have created spiritual strongholds.  And as He does this, He has a way of restoring joy and faith from our childlike spirit.  So many from all cultures are dealing with this struggle and need to hear this message.

Bryan catches up with Jay Thompson, talking about the unique culture in the Memphis area and how Abiding in Christ continues to be the key to heart change and unity in the body of Christ.  God has BIG plans for the Mid-South, and we are praying for Him to raise up more leaders among all demographics to transform that community.

Bryan interviews Gordon Polly, Influencers leader in Tulsa, OK who shares his faith story and how The Journey helped him learn to abide.  However, it was a major unexpected health challenge which took his faith to the next level.  Listen and be inspired and share with those in your spheres who are battling a health scare.

Bryan and Rocky surprise guest Tom Seay, our International Director, as the focus of this podcast was celebrating Tom’s 85th birthday and honoring his service to our Lord and Influencers.  It’s a special moment.

Bryan and Rocky talk about the most important thing in this abiding walk with Christ, sitting at Jesus’ feet each day.  Rocky shares how He has been going back to the basics of journaling “Promises of God” from Scripture, and they both attest to transformative power of being with Jesus, through His Word, and communing with the Holy Spirit.  They also dig into why Journaling is such a great tool in helping to facilitate this time with the Lord.

ATTENTION ALL INFLUENCERS LEADERS (Staff, Boards, Cabinets, Guides):  This message is very important.  We always talk about DNA, DNA, DNA, but this podcast will clarify it in a way you will understand.  Listen to Rocky explain it.  Please share this message with other Influencers leaders in your circles.

Bryan interviews Costa Rica Regional Director Henry Gutierrez who talks about how the Spirit is guiding the expansion of A Toda Vela (in English that’s “Full Sail”) Ministries, which is our Latin America branch of Influencers.  He talks about how there seems to be a strong hunger in people all over Latin America to find MORE in their faith experience.  The MORE is abiding in Christ.  He talks about how the one-day Prayer Cottage Retreats have become a winsome way to introduce new people to The Journey.  To learn more about the Prayer Cottage retreats, CLICK HERE.

Bryan interviews Danny Davis and Richard Gomez, two Journey brothers and Guides from Tulsa who found The Journey as part of a rehabilitation program called, Wings of Freedom.  They talk about the pathway back from incarceration and recovery and how faith in Christ is essential.  But abiding in Christ took them to a new level of enablement and leadership in their lives.  They also talk about the three  professional men who sacrificed their time and comfort zone to bring The Journey to them.

Bryan and Rocky discuss a key principle in the DNA of The Journey Process of “Starting small, going deep and praying big” to continue helping our leaders understand the spiritual dynamic of Jesus’ way of making disciples.  This is what we The Journey is all about and how this ministry has been built from day one.  A must listen, especially for our leaders and guides.

Bryan interviews Rocky, Tom Seay and Boone Baker about Prayer and its importance in the life of an abider, but also, its importance to our ministry.  They talk about what Prayer is and how their thoughts and perspectives had to be re-wired to understand this intimate walk with Jesus through prayer.  They also talked about Global Prayer opportunities open to all.

Bryan and Rocky discuss the path of a Christian, from Salvation to Sanctification to Glorification and how the Abiding process ties into this.  It is a Narrow Path from the very beginning and throughout, though His grace is abundant and wide.

Bryan interviews Mike Hearne, from Wichita, KS, who not only leads our Region in Kansas, but he also leads our new Prison Ministry team.  Mike talks about the impact The Journey is making in prisons around the country and evolving in other countries as well.  He explains the resources available to Influencers who feel a calling toward bringing The Journey to their local prison or jail and the team’s desire to grow this new branch of Influencers.  And he talks about the clear scriptural mandate to care for inmates.  Listen at your own risk as God may nudge you to help him reach this “forgotten people group.”
