In Part One of our series "Lessons From Elijah" Bill starts the episode by encouraging listeners to study the Bible for themselves so they can discern truth, avoid twisted teachings, and be prepared for spiritual battles. He illustrates how easily Scripture can be misquoted—confusing Balaam with Balak, and misstating "money is the root of all evil" instead of "the love of money"—and urges personal verification in the Word. He discusses discipline in parenting, emphasizes not living in fear, and compares learning Scripture in advance to being prepared in emergencies, sharing a dramatic in-flight engine failure and forced landing where prior training mattered. He begins "Lessons From Elijah," noting Elijah was a man like us (James 5:17), highlighting faith to pray about rain, and recounting Elijah's provision by ravens, the widow of Zarephath, and the Mount Carmel confrontation where God answered with fire and Elijah called for rain.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Know the Word 00:22 Show Begins 00:59 Twisted Scripture Stories 03:10 Balaam Donkey Mixup 05:29 Money Misquoted 06:55 Discipline and Rod 09:06 Super Cub Fear 11:17 Emergency Landing Lesson 18:56 Elijah Like Us 22:44 Mount Carmel Showdown 26:57 Ministry Outro   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In Part Two of our series "Occupy" Bill and Roger teach that believers have spiritual authority in Christ and must "occupy" by putting God's Word into practice. They share how a Chrysalis retreat for college-aged girls turned despair and anxiety into salvation and freedom, sparking a growing Texas Tech campus Bible study drawing 70–90 students weekly. Using Matthew 7, they contrast hearing the Word with doing it, urging bold faith, prayer, and speaking in Jesus' name for victory in everyday life, including healing. The episode closes with an invitation to receive Jesus and a salvation prayer.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Spiritual Authority 00:41 Youth Hopelessness 02:48 Campus Revival Story 04:48 Build on the Rock 07:02 Deliverance and Truth 09:02 Occupy the Territory 11:59 Speak with Faith 16:14 Earwax Lesson 21:40 Authority and Healing 25:24 Revival and Call 26:23 Salvation Prayer 27:44 Next Steps and Outro   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In our new series "Occupy" Bill and Roger teach from Luke 19 on Jesus' command to "occupy till I come," urging believers to advance the kingdom through faithful stewardship, including tithing and sowing. They stress the difference between knowing God personally versus knowing about Him, rejecting the idea that God is "hard" and emphasizing that God is a giver (John 3:16) and not the source of life's tragedies. They address cultural issues and call for truth, repentance, and freedom through the Holy Spirit, and share testimonies of revival among college students through Chrysalis and a growing Texas Tech Bible study. They close this episode by reading Matthew 7 about putting God's Word into practice and offer a salvation invitation and ministry resources.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Know God Personally 00:33 Welcome and Last Days 01:31 Occupy Till He Comes 03:27 Culture and Truth 05:45 God Is Good 07:46 Stewardship and Tithing 11:31 Kingdom Fairness 15:46 Religion vs Relationship 19:33 Revival Among Youth 23:51 Practice the Word 27:05 Salvation Invitation 28:05 Closing and Resources     Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

Bill & Roger teach that the Great Commission includes preaching the kingdom of heaven, healing the sick, casting out demons, and exercising the authority Jesus gave His disciples in Matthew 10, not just preaching and baptizing. They emphasize that Jesus' finished work on the cross provided healing, peace, and wholeness, and that faith accesses what God has already done rather than begging Him to act. You're encouraged to reject religious tradition and passivity, get "violent" in faith, speak to sickness, and act on God's Word instead of letting the world's system or medical advances become final authority. They share a testimony of John Herbst being healed of Bell's palsy within minutes, along with others receiving healing, and they close by inviting you to surrender to Jesus in prayer and connect at billandroger.com.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Kingdom Commission Intro 00:51 Cross Provides Healing 03:08 Faith Receives Not Begs 04:59 Refuse Sickness Mindset 06:00 Buffet of God Power 06:56 Tradition Versus Belief 08:31 Matthew 10 Commission 12:19 Healing Testimony Story 22:18 Confession Activates Healing 23:39 Acts 3 Bold Prayer 25:27 Salvation Invitation 26:54 Ministry Resources Outro   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In our newest series "The Believer's Authority" Bill and Roger teach that John 10:10 is the dividing line for spiritual "20/20 vision": Satan steals, kills, and destroys, while Jesus brings abundant life. Using Matthew 11:11–12, they emphasize that even the least person in the Kingdom is greater than John the Baptist and that believers must stop being passive and "take it by force" with faith. From Ephesians 1:17–19, they pray for wisdom and revelation through the Word and stress that believers have the same power that raised Jesus from the dead, with God living within them by the Holy Spirit, giving authority to heal the sick. They urge you to renew your mind, resist worldly and medical fear-based narratives, and stand on scriptures like 1 Peter 2:24 and Isaiah 53.

In Part Two of our series "Peace In Troubled Times", Bill and Roger teach that peace and breakthrough come from knowing your God-given assignment and getting a clear word from God, not judging life by how smoothly things are going, because the devil tries to block destiny. Using Isaiah's prophecy and the "days of Midian" (Judges 6), they explain that disobedience opened Israel to plunder, but God restored what was stolen, highlighting the difference between harvest (what you've sown) and spoils (what the enemy took). Bill shares how God told him in 2010 to stay on his land, prosper, and that his sons would return to farm, which later happened. They emphasize resisting tradition-based unbelief, exercising your legal rights in Christ to demand the devil loose what Jesus already provided—especially healing—and conclude with an invitation for you to receive salvation through prayer and connect at billandroger.com.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Destiny Meets Resistance 00:30 Extraordinary Living Intro 01:12 Midian Battle Explained 03:14 Adam Curse And Dominion 04:24 Find Your Assignment 04:48 2010 Turning Point 08:12 Genesis 26 Word 11:32 Sons Return To Farm 14:21 Gideon Victory And Spoils 16:16 Lester Sumrall Authority 18:49 Tradition Blocks Harvest 19:26 Demand Your Rights 21:29 Healing Like Salvation 22:55 Rogers Missouri Setup 26:40 Restoration Encouragement 27:00 Salvation Prayer 28:10 Outro And Resources   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In Part One of our series "Peace In Troubled Times", Bill and Roger open Extraordinary Living by emphasizing that "the joy of the Lord is my strength" and that believers can return to God's "word of peace" because Jesus is the Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace, and "of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end." They contrast Christ's peace with a fear-driven world and criticize news media for selling fear, noting that many Christians also fail to walk in peace due to traditions that make God's Word ineffective (Mark 7:13). Using Isaiah 9, they describe Jesus as the promised light in darkness and encourage you to answer fearful thoughts, avoid living "bunkered up," and distinguish responsible preparedness from fear. They discuss refusing to participate in recession or shortage, not fearing death, and taking limits off God.

In Part Three of our series "Come In Out Of The Weather", Roger Morris explains how God has given you a foundation, but it's your choice to use it by digging deep into His Word, dwelling in the secret place, and putting Scripture into practice. Roger shares practical examples of living by faith, including praying and agreeing with his young son to move yearlings smoothly, laying hands on debts and calling them paid in full, and claiming freedom from financial bondage. Using Matthew 7 and Luke 6, they contrast building on the rock versus sand and warn against having only a "ticket to heaven" while life caves in. Roger describes using the Word to replace worry with peace, urging you to stop "waiting on the Lord," step out on what God has already provided, train your children, and advance God's Kingdom. They close with a salvation invitation and ways to connect with the ministry.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Choose Your Foundation 00:41 Extraordinary Living Intro 00:57 Yearlings and Prayer 02:35 Train Your Children 03:04 Speaking to Debt 05:22 Build on the Rock 06:12 Peace Over Worry 07:26 Sand Foundation Warning 09:11 Claiming the Farm 11:36 Practice the Word 14:52 Dig Deep and Finish 17:28 Stop Waiting on God 19:07 Lost Dog Miracle 24:02 Live in the Secret Place 24:50 Salvation Prayer 26:15 Connect and Partner 28:20 Final Encouragement   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In Part Two of our series "Come In Out Of The Weather", Bill and Roger teach that what you believe and think determines what you experience, urging you to expect the supernatural by aligning your thoughts and words with Scripture. They emphasize recognizing God's voice through thoughts that match the Word, taking thoughts captive, and tearing down mental strongholds and vain imaginations with 2 Corinthians 10, calling fear "faith in the devil." Using Psalm 91, they explain dwelling in the secret place, speaking "I will say of the Lord," and trusting God's deliverance, protection, and angelic help. They share stories of praying before trips that were followed by near-miss accidents and of speaking over cattle work that then went smoothly, presenting these as results of yielding to the Holy Spirit and declaring God's promises. The episode ends with an invitation for you to receive Jesus through a simple prayer and directions to their website.   Episode Highlights:   00:00 Natural vs Supernatural 00:39 Recognizing Gods Voice 02:15 Speak Life Over Family 03:32 Pulling Down Strongholds 07:07 Psalm 91 Protection 10:08 Dont Feed Fear 11:35 Secret Place Lifestyle 13:41 Angels on Assignment 20:30 More Protection Stories 22:47 Practical Faith at Work 26:50 Salvation Invitation 28:11 Closing and Resources   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In our series Come In Out Of The Weather Bill & Roger talk about "coming in out of the weather" by making God your refuge in the storms of life through His Word and the empowering presence of Holy Spirit. You're encouraged to be born again and then be baptized in the Holy Spirit, because the Word without Holy Spirit can become like a lifeless legal document, while Holy Spirit brings it alive and practical for everyday living. Using windy West Texas stories and scriptures like Proverbs 30:5, Psalm 91, Psalm 31:20, John 1:1, Joshua 1:8, and Proverbs 4, they emphasize dwelling (not just visiting) in the secret place, guarding your heart, countering fear and lies, and speaking what God says. They share personal testimony of prayer, agreement, and Holy Spirit's power, This episode concludes by inviting you to connect, watch, and partner at billandroger.com.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Word vs Spirit 00:24 Show Intro 01:25 Baptism Essential 01:43 Upper Room Power 02:40 Guard Your Heart 03:22 Coming Out Storms 04:36 Windy Day Story 06:15 Trailer House Fear 08:26 God Our Refuge 09:48 Holy Spirit Makes Alive 12:32 Psalm 91 Secret Place 17:22 Meditate Day Night 21:30 Grace Not Fear 23:09 Presence of God 25:59 Speak Your Refuge 26:45 Ministry Outro   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In Part Two of our series on Vision Bill Gruhlkey teaches that Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2:24 show healing was paid for at the cross, so you can pray from "thank you, Lord, I'm healed" and take spiritual authority to speak to the problem, using Mark 16 and Mark 11:22–24 as a basis for laying hands on the sick and believing what you say. Bill shares how he spoke to asthma and encourages you to stop being a "silent sufferer," get God's Word in you, and use your words in faith. He connects this to the Vision series by urging you to write your vision down, describing a farming testimony where vision and mission statements led to many things coming to pass and citing a study about prosperity among those who write goals with a plan. The episode closes with prayer, a salvation invitation, and partnership and website information.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Speak to Problems 00:26 Healing in Isaiah 01:48 Stripes Were Healed 03:53 Signs Follow Believers 07:49 Already Paid Analogy 10:30 Faith Speaks Mountains 11:29 Power of Words 14:15 Write the Vision 15:04 Farm Vision Testimony 20:43 Prayer and Salvation 23:46 Partner With Ministry 26:05 Final Resources Outro   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In Part One of this series on Vision Bill Gruhlkey teaches from Habakkuk 2:1–3 on writing the vision down and making it plain, sharing how putting dreams on paper (and even on a vision board) helped his family see goals fulfilled over time. He challenges you to spend time with the Lord to hear what you're believing for—family, work, finances, relationships, and even big "kick at the moon" faith—then write it down and don't curse it with negative words, since the tongue has power. Bill also shares a Walk to Emmaus testimony about leading by obedience and believing for supernatural miracles, including a healed knee, and cites Scriptures on God's provision and healing (Ephesians 1, Isaiah 53).

In Part Two of this series Bill and Roger encourage you to respond to any "famine" in your life—discouragement, marriage, relationships, or business—by sowing God's Word into your spirit and focusing on what is good and true. Using Genesis 26, they highlight how Isaac stayed in the land during famine, obeyed God's direction, sowed anyway, and reaped a hundredfold, urging you to trust the Lord rather than your own understanding and to cooperate with the Holy Spirit. One speaker shares personal stories of financial strain, a mother's covenant support, obeying God to replant wheat, experiencing a breakthrough year, and receiving land opportunities, plus a word about his sons returning to farm.

In Part One of this series Bill and Roger teach that every born-again believer's shared purpose is to advance the Kingdom of God, while your destiny is your unique "thumbprint" for how you do it. They contrast the gospel's "good news" with belligerent, fear-based preaching, emphasizing that God's goodness leads people to repentance and that Jesus called you to make disciples, not just converts. Roger shares how God redirected him in 2010 when he was discouraged and felt like a pinball, revealing he was called to both farm/ranch and preach rather than copy someone else's mold. Using Genesis 26, he encourages you to seek a personal encounter with Holy Spirit, trust God in seasons of "famine," and follow His specific direction, sharing how that word brought breakthrough in his farming and confirmed his son's desire to farm.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Purpose and Destiny 00:32 Gospel With Goodness 03:05 Hearing God Clearly 05:28 Word as Direction 08:02 Famine and Faith 09:23 Marriage Covenant Talk 11:58 Gods Word and Integrity 13:03 Banking Struggles and Perseverance 17:56 Holy Spirit Guidance 21:24 Stay in the Land 24:24 Surrender and Obedience 25:53 Son Chooses Farming 27:03 Ministry Wrap Up   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680

In Part Two of our series "Writing The Vision" Bill Gruhlkey teaches that when you ask God to bless, heal, or provide, you can be praying from the wrong place because Scripture says He has already given you "all things" (2 Peter 1:3) and has already "blessed us with every spiritual blessing" (Ephesians 1:3). They explain that what you see manifested depends on what you believe and how you act, so you must participate by gaining knowledge of Him, using spiritual authority, and speaking to your body and circumstances rather than just telling God about the problem. Using the cross and "by His stripes we were healed/were healed" (Isaiah 53; 1 Peter 2:24), Bill compares healing to salvation by faith. This episode will encourage you to read Ephesians, write your vision down, and trust the Father's love through the example of the prodigal son.  This episode concludes with an invitation for you to pray to receive Jesus and connect at billandroger.com.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   00:00 Stop Asking for Blessing 00:26 All Things Already Given 01:37 Speak Healing Authority 03:01 When Healing Delays 05:09 Knowledge Unlocks Faith 06:35 Denali Keys Illustration 09:09 Every Spiritual Blessing 10:43 Believe and Act It Out 14:49 Write the Vision Down 15:54 Prodigal Father Love 25:44 Salvation Prayer Invitation 26:45 Connect and Partner Outro   Connect with Bill & Roger Ministries: www.billandroger.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064668460680
