Ryan's Essential List of Bible Study Resources for Ministers + Ministry Essentials Podcast with Joe Campetella
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with my good friend, Pastor Joe Campetella, to record Ministry Essentials. This was a collaborative episode between Apostolic Voice and Christian Life Broadcast, which is Rev. Campetella’s must-listen-to program. Basically, I asked a lot of questions, and Rev. J.C., in typical fashion, gave profoundly anointed and insightful answers. I hope you will…

The Extraordinary Significance of the Royal Priesthood of Believers
This doctrine impacts every area of your life!
The apostle Peter makes a somewhat shocking declaration about the Christian life in the second chapter of his first epistle. Well, actually, he makes several fascinating declarations, but for now, we’ll mainly focus on one. With all its implications, contemporary Christians largely ignore this doctrine. The current religious atmosphere of flagrant biblical illiteracy probably explains why most…

In Jesus' Name - A Poem
I’ll always be a poser.
A loser at heart.
The inside is broken.
The outside’s a frame.
I do it all in Jesus’ name.
Fame brings no fortune.
And fortune, no fame.
The elements twisting.
Aligning the game.
Run for the hills in Jesus’ name.
I’ve always been homeless.
A wandering soul.
Jealous of nothing.
Yet wanting it all.
Find contentment in Jesus’ name.
Peace brings no freedom.
And freedom, no…

Should Christians & Pastors Be Involved in Politics with Superintendent David Tipton - Article + Podcast
Mississippi District United Pentecostal Church Superintendent David Tipton is passionate about Christians being involved in politics. So much so he’s written a great book called Faith, Freedom & Politics. It was an honor having him on the Apostolic Voice podcast (I’ve linked that episode below). You’ll enjoy that conversation. The topic is important enough to merit being condensed here. So, I’ve…

The Asbury Revival: A Word of Caution (Support Your Local Revival) with Timothy Hadden - Article + Podcast
I have to admit that the Asbury Revival hasn’t been majorly on my radar. I’m not super active on social media these days. By the way, cutting back on social media has been incredibly freeing for me. I have more clarity, fewer distractions, and more hope for humanity when not witnessing the daily media grime. Anyway, I’d seen a few clips here and there, but I didn’t start thinking seriously about…

Relationslips (Part 2) with Taylor French – Article + Podcast
My wife, Taylor, is the most intelligent and intuitive person I’ve ever known. She can read people almost effortlessly without them realizing she’s doing it. Residing deep inside her is a wellspring of observational ability that enables her to know a person’s soul instinctively. More importantly, she fights for good relationships with the tenacity of a soldier. She’s like a relationship ninja.…

Choices - A Poem
Choices are fragile, necessary things.
Tantalizing, agonizing little things.
Brimming with endless possibilities.
Accoutrement laced anticipations.
Funneling into careless cessations.
The question is asked, “Which way should we go?”
The question echoes, “Does anyone know?”
Arrogance answers, “Just enjoy the show.”
Ignorance answers, “There’s no way to know!”
Malevolence answers, “Don’t rock the…

What's the Difference Between Godly Sorrow & Worldly Sorrow
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of but the sorrow of the world worketh death (2 Corinthians 7:10).
The Difference Makes the Difference
In his second letter to the church at Corinth, the apostle Paul begins chapter seven by launching into a lengthy discussion about how to “perfect holiness” by “cleansing ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit (2…

The Inversion - A Poem
The Inversion – A Poem
God is nothing, they say
Just imaginary games
Yet morality, they claim
Forgetting their context
Ignoring histories flame
Hanging by thin threads
To ever-waning grace
Blind to the inversion
Holding conversions
Creating diversions
They know not their place
Goodness without God
Like moths to acrid flame
Digging for diamond truths
Yet never making gains
Ignoring perversions
Reality gone
Almost…

Divine Inspiration (What the Bible Has to Say for Itself)
Divine Inspiration (What the Bible Has to Say for Itself)
The Good Book
The Bible is still the best-selling book of all time. It’s estimated that roughly a billion copies have been sold. That’s probably not entirely accurate. And it doesn’t consider the millions of free electronic editions available to the masses. Ironically, the Bible is more accessible thanks to the internet than ever. Yet, biblical illiteracy increases with each passing decade.…

Emmaunel In a Manger
Emmaunel In a Manger
Heaven came down without a sound
Into a lost world needing found
Majestic angels gathered round
Shepherds bowed low onto the ground
Even as wise men sought the crown
Emmanuel in a manger
A single ray of light shown down
The tyrant trembling at the news
Assembled swords to slaughter Jews
Hues of red innocent blood oozed
The baby king is dead he mused
Yet Christ lived on our sins to…

The Ghosts of Tomorrow - A Poem
The Ghosts of Tomorrow – A Poem
They twist and turn in the lamplights glow
Whether friend or foe we do not know
Tomorrow's ghosts above and below
They are tellers of yesterday's truths
The woven tales are not of their making
The chains they clutch hellishly shaking
With fingers pointed and backs aching
They are tellers of yesterday's truths
Consequences near or far removed
Only delayed by time unreproved
Their only intent is…

The Grace of Falling Leaves - A Poem
The Grace of Falling Leaves – A Poem
Those that run with swifter feet.
Know not the grace of falling leaves.
Nor the magic of treasures deep.
For they move too fast and do not see.
Those they love and things they need.
They make their lists and miss the trees.
The mystics mourn for living peace.
Yet moments pass, and no one sees.
Deeper wells of hidden gems.
Forgetting depths of secret hymns.
Humming unheard invocations.
They…
