What if Father asks us to let go of something good so we can experience or grasp hold of something even greater? Would we be willing to let go of what's secure, what's comfortable, and what we know? Do we trust Him enough to let go of those things?
This week Will shares some experiences and thoughts about what that might look like and what it might take in order for us to do that.
Will also shares an announcement that may mean a bonus episode for Season 1. Also, if you have questions or topics that you'd like Will to answer or discuss in Season 2, send those requests to will@adventurelifeministries.com or connect with him on social media (links below.)

Have you ever wondered what God expects of us when it comes to asking for forgiveness? Do we need to beg, plead, and grovel before God? Should we expect to sin all our lives and continue in our patterns of sin? Or does God offer a solution for all of that? Using Scripture as a guide, Will offers his thoughts about how he has learned to understand sin, our sin patterns, and forgiveness in the hands of a loving God.

There's a smorgasbord of topics in this week's episode. Will still feels a calling and challenge to be a prophetic voice that calls others into a new way of living, acting, and being and challenges the empire way of thinking and doing. There were a number of things this week that confirmed this nudge and continue to compel Will in this direction. He also shares a conversation he had with a young woman this week about the disconnection of young adults from the church...and shares a dream that he was reminded of when looking back at some journal entries from a few years ago.
Will also shares a bit about what the podcast may hold for the future and subsequent seasons. Tune in for the last few episodes of Season 1.

Have you ever wanted to be a prophet? Yeah, neither has Will. And yet that's exactly where he feels like Father may be calling him. But, wait, don't think Old Testament prophet or someone on the street corner or even like you see in some charismatic circles presently. What if a prophet's main purpose is to call others into a new way of life...out of the dominant thinking of the empire...beyond the status quo...and into a greater reality...the life and freedom that is offered to all believers.
And it's not about standing on a stage in a building or a stadium or even on a street corner. It begins in our homes, our offices, and among our friends. We can all live prophetic lives as we call each other to a new way of living and seeing the world and the life we are to live in it.
So who wants to challenge the empire?

Do you know what it means to live in the New Covenant? Is your faith journey characterized by freedom, grace, and love? Or is it burdensome and filled with guilt and shame? This week, Will talks about the adventure of living within the new life we have in Christ - one that is characterized by freedom. Will shares some things that every believer has access to - but we seldom live in those things.
This time of year, as we celebrate Easter, Will explains what the Cross means for each of us on this side of the resurrection.
Enjoy!

This week, Will shares an experience that left him with a different way to view this podcast and how that might shape things to come.
Will also dives into a couple of words we tend to misuse, church and worship, and how we might begin to think differently and use those words differently in the future. Will shares some examples from his own life and experiences with his kids.
