Bold Steps with Dr. Mark Jobe

If we want to live a more godly life, Pastor Mark Jobe says it doesn’t just take a renewal of our spirit … but also a renewal of our mind. So often in Christian circles we discuss the importance of what it means to be spiritually "reborn" … and to reposition our hearts with God. But a big part of this transformation that sometimes gets overlooked, is the need to renew our minds. That’s the subject Mark is unpacking in today’s Bold Steps message titled … What it Means to Restore Our God-Given ID.

Today on Bold Steps, we’re learning how to get beyond our narrow, earthly perspective … to see the world through God’s perspective. As believers in Christ, our struggle on Earth is between two extremes, or rather, two natures. In the Bible, Paul refers to these natures as the “old and new man”. Pastor Mark Jobe is going to expand on this concept and help us learn how to start living with a “heavenly perspective” in a message originally preached at New Life Community Church (Chicago) in October of 2022 … and it’s called … What it Means to Restore Our God-Given ID.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us to better understand our true identity … in God. We’ve reached the final part of a keystone message about our true nature, and the identity we’ve been given by God. No one has the ability to change themselves. While we can take steps toward "self-improvement", ultimately real transformation only happens with God's help and we find our true identity in Him. Join us for this final discussion based in 2 Peter chapter 1 and possibly learn what your next big step will be.

Are you leaning into the God-given power already inside you? Or searching for strength somewhere else? That’s the topic today on Bold Steps … Today, we’re continuing a lesson about the power and promises we’ve been given by God … and it’s sad but true that so many Christians today are trying to solve their problems by changing what’s around them … rather than tapping into what’s already inside of them. Some Christians are wasting their time trying every ‘self-help’ trick in the book but … real change is only found in the presence and power of God.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe helps us tap into the spiritual strength that every Christian has been given, but perhaps been overlooking. In today’s self-help culture, we’re hooked on the idea of self-betterment and doing all we can to improve ourselves. And that may be fine and good, but you’re going to remind us that, spiritually, if we are believers and have the Holy Spirit, then we already have God’s DIVINE POWER inside of us to start living for God RIGHT NOW. It’s a matter of accessing this power that you ALREADY HAVE in Christ to start to live for Him. We’re going to talk about what this POWER is and then get into the PROMISES that come with it.

Today on Bold Steps … Pastor Mark Jobe begins a new message about the timing of God. In life we all have “drama”. We have problems and pains that we wish would simply go away … and yet often times, our situation seems to remain the same. But we’re reminded in the Bible over and over that GOD’S timing in dealing with our problems is not OUR timing.

To withstand the trials and temptations of the world, we have to be spiritually resilient. And we’re learning how, today on Bold Steps. Last time, we began a message that Mark originally shared with the students at Moody Bible Institute … laying out The 7 Habits of Resilient Students. And while this lesson was directed to the students of MBI … the keystone habits that Mark shares are extremely applicable to all of us, no matter what stage of life we may be in. In yesterday’s program, he established the first three key habits that lead to spiritual resiliency. First, we must establish and guard our daily time with God.
