The Purpose and Beyond Podcast

In Part 7 of our series, Rev. Jackson discusses keeping ourselves "unspotted from the world". Also, he discusses how our behavior is a draw in all forms of our lives, and therefore, we should allow our obedience to The Word to be our witness

In this week's Word For The Weekend, Rev. Jackson reminds us of how we should carry ourselves amongst non-believers, how we should resist placing ourselves on pedestals, and how our conduct towards them can either draw them closer or drive them away. This week's Scripture: Colossians 4:5-6

In this week's Wisdom Wednesday, we discuss how the church can learn a lesson from the complicated life of a man like DMX who wrestled publicly with his issues and his Christianity. Also, we discuss how the road to greatness was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be worth it.

In Part 6 of our series, we continue our discussion on the "silent witness" that is our behavior. We also discuss how our misunderstanding of God's grace leads to our repeated disobedience as disciples. Take a listen!

In this week's Word For The Weekend, Rev. Jackson reminds us that if no one else cares what we're going through, God does. And the blessing is He's The One that can do the most about it. Let this word bless you! This week's Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7

In this week's Wisdom Wednesday, we're encouraged to be who we are because we not only have the most experience in being us, but we're also the best at it. Also, we discuss the benefits of working in the shadows and under the radar until it's our time.

In Part 5 of our series, Rev. Jackson discusses our "silent witness", which is our actions. How can people want to follow us into discipleship if we're not even following what we claim to believe? How are our actions betraying what our mouths are speaking?

In this week's Word For The Weekend, Rev. Jackson brings focus to why Jesus went to the cross. We often put our eyes on Judas, but we mustn't overlook the sin that caused crucifixion to be necessary in the first place. This week's Scripture: Romans 5:8

In this week's Wisdom Wednesday, we discuss the value of having targeted hustle. Many of us like to promote the fact that we're always on our grind in various ways, but just because it's a side hustle doesn't mean that it doesn't need to have focus and direction. Also, we discuss having no hard feelings in your new season when God takes you in directions that causes people to drop out of your life. Take a listen!

In Part 4 of our series, Rev. Jackson looks into Chapter 2 of "Are We Still Making Disciples?" to discuss our living outside of Sunday morning. Are we obedient to The Word outside of our Sunday morning celebration, and does our worship match our witness? Take a listen!

In this week's Word For The Weekend, Rev. Jackson reminds us that due season is on the way if we continue to do right, even during moments where we're being done wrong. God promises a good harvest for those that do good. He's not a man that He should lie. This week's Scripture: Galatians 6:9

In this week's Wisdom Wednesday, we discuss the work that must accompany what we expect to reap. We can't just embrace the rewards without embracing what comes before. Also, we discuss having the integrity to walk away when you can't match the passion required for the position you hold.

In this week's episode, Rev, Jackson discusses the inactivity or "gazing up into heaven" of the church and how that hinders our evangelism. Also, we discuss how the command that Jesus gives to disciples to love one another is critical to our recruitment of others.

In this week's Word For The Weekend, we're reminded that when God forgives and cleanses us, it isn't something He does for show. He's thorough. He's deliberate. And unlike man, He seeks to put offense out of our reach and out of our sight. This week's Scripture: Psalms 103:12

In this week's Wisdom Wednesday, in the wake of the Kirk Franklin controversy, we discuss how we have become a society that's easily triggered ourselves, that will react without having the full picture, and just how harmful that can be. In that same vein, we also discuss how important it is that we mind our own business instead of constantly rebuking the actions of others or the opinions of others.

In Part 2 of our new series, we discuss The Great Commission. While we know that disciples are learners and followers of Jesus, we should also recognize that discipleship doesn't call for us to be stagnant in who we are. There are commands that Jesus gave that we are expected to obey.

In this week's Word For The Weekend, Rev. Jackson reminds us that we have access to wisdom and we serve a God that's so generous, that if we ask Him for it, He gives to us freely. We needn't be in the dark about anything! This week's Scripture: James 1:5

In this week's Wisdom Wednesday, we discuss making adjustments after offense rather than making enemies. We don't need to force relationships to prove that there are no hard feelings, nor do we need to develop sworn enemies. Also, we talk about the importance of giving credit and the insecurity that goes with not doing so.

In this week's Monday Morning Discipleship, we start a new series on being obedient as disciples. Many of us understand that disciples are learners and followers of Christ, but we must also understand that following Christ doesn't mean simply mimicking His behavior. It also includes follow His mandates.

In this week's Word For The Weekend, Rev. Jackson reminds us that it's important that we not allow the emotion of what we're going through to cause us to falsely accuse God for our plight. This week's Scripture: Job 1:22
