KS 419 - Start Your Own Nation: Building God's Kingdom in Babylon

Send us a textHave you been so focused on national issues that you've missed your opportunity for local kingdom impact? That's exactly where Tyler McHart found himself before a profound shift in his thinking about Christian engagement in business, family, and community.Drawing from Jeremiah 29's surprising instructions to exiled Israelites in Babylon, Tyler unpacks how believers are called not to retreat from hostile territory but to establish themselves firmly within it. "Build houses, plant gardens, have children..." wasn't just advice for ancient Jews—it's a blueprint for modern Christians seeking to create lasting impact in their communities.Tyler challenges compartmentalized thinking that keeps our faith, business, and civic engagement in separate silos. Through personal stories—including a powerful family gathering where he and his sisters intentionally passed down their mother's values to ten grandchildren—he illustrates what it means to establish a godly legacy that transcends generations.This episode explores how Christians can "start their own nation" by creating wealth through entrepreneurship, establishing family values that resist cultural corruption, and strategically engaging with local government and business networks. Tyler shares his journey from national-level political focus to meaningful local involvement, including developing relationships with state representatives and community leaders.Whether you're a business owner, employee, parent, or simply a believer looking to maximize your kingdom impact, this message offers practical steps for becoming more intentionally engaged in transforming your community from the inside out. As Tyler says, "The family is going to help change the world, and I believe that starts with strong fathers, men of God that have a vision for their life."Ready to plant your garden in "Satan's city" and create an oasis of godly influence? This episode will show you how to begin building your own nation right where you're planted.Support the show

KS 418 - From Building Businesses to Building Cities: How Faithful Marketplace Christians Receive Greater Responsibilities

Send us a textGod is looking for marketplace Christians who understand the power of partnership. Are you ready to expand your vision beyond your business?The Parable of the Minas in Luke 19 offers profound insights that most churches rarely address. Unlike the more commonly taught Parable of the Talents, here every servant receives exactly the same amount—one mina—and something fascinating happens with those who prove faithful. Their reward isn't more money or a simple "well done." Instead, they receive authority over cities.This spiritual principle reveals how God expands the influence of those who demonstrate faithfulness in business matters. We see the natural progression: faithful stewardship in business leads to community impact, which opens doors to city-level influence. The currency of the Kingdom isn't just financial success but expanded responsibility.Through powerful real-world examples—from a 21-year-old hotel manager whose faithfulness earned him significant responsibility to business leaders whose community involvement saved libraries and shaped town centers—we discover that marketplace ministry extends far beyond profit margins. Your business acumen, when submitted to God's purposes, becomes a launch pad for community transformation.Most Christian entrepreneurs think too small, focusing only on how their business can fund ministry rather than seeing their business AS ministry. When we break down the false separation between "spiritual" and "financial" realms, we position ourselves to create generational impact through our families and far-reaching influence through our communities.Ready to stop treating your faith and business as separate silos? Want to explore how your marketplace calling might be preparing you for greater Kingdom impact? This episode challenges you to raise your vision from making "baby minas" to influencing cities. The question isn't whether God wants to use you beyond your business—it's whether you're ready to partner with Him when He does.Support the show

KS 417 - Faithful Over Successful

Send us a textWhat if everything we've been taught about success is backward? In this thought-provoking exploration of biblical principles, Tyler McHart challenges listeners to embrace faithfulness over success and consistency over spectacular outcomes.The journey begins with an examination of Proverbs 22:29 and a startling revelation: the word "success" appears only once in scripture, while "faithful" is mentioned at least 18 times in the Old Testament alone. This disparity reveals God's priorities and metrics for evaluating our lives and work. Through Jesus's parables about stewardship—both the Talents (Matthew 25) and Minas (Luke 19)—we discover that God rewards faithful consistency rather than mere achievement.Most striking is the realization that the reward for faithfulness isn't a comfortable retirement but greater responsibility. "I will put you in charge of ten cities," the master tells the faithful servant. This kingdom principle transforms how we approach our daily responsibilities, family life, and business endeavors. Success follows faithfulness when we're consistent in small things.Tyler shares personal examples from parenting his son, highlighting that faithfulness begins with simply showing up—to your Bible reading, prayer time, work commitments, and family responsibilities. Just showing up creates the possibility for something good to happen, while not showing up guarantees nothing will.Ready to shift your focus from chasing success to cultivating faithfulness? This episode will transform how you approach your daily disciplines and long-term goals. Share this message with someone who needs this perspective shift today.Support the show

KS 416 - Faith on Deck: When Divine Programming Meets Life's Pressure Moments

Send us a textEver wondered why some Christians seem to rise above every challenge while others struggle to move forward? The difference might be simpler than you think.Drawing from an unexpected source—a college baseball pitcher in the World Series spotlight—this episode reveals the hidden power of intentional self-talk that can transform your Christian walk. Just as that young athlete programmed himself for victory before he ever stepped onto the championship mound, we too must program our minds with God's promises before facing life's challenges.Most believers fall into the trap of "Sunday Christianity," never taking the time to truly internalize Scripture. But what if five minutes of daily declaration could completely rewire your thought patterns? I share practical examples from Charles Capps' transformative book "God's Creative Power" that show exactly how to personalize Scripture and speak it over your life. These aren't just positive affirmations—they're powerful spiritual tools based on God's unchanging Word.Your mind is like a garden requiring daily attention—watering, pruning, and protecting from weeds of doubt and fear. When negative thoughts inevitably arise (as they recently did for me after returning from vacation), I demonstrate the exact process I use to take those thoughts captive and replace them with truth. This isn't theory—it's battle-tested wisdom from decades of marketplace ministry.Ready to experience breakthrough in your business, finances, and personal life?

KS 415 - The 90-Day Bible Challenge

Send us a textA chance YouTube video about a 96-year-old pastor who had read the Bible over 1,200 times sparked my curiosity and challenge: could I read the entire Bible in just 90 days? Not only did I complete this challenge once, but I've just finished my second consecutive 90-day reading plan—essentially consuming the entire Scripture twice in six months.This accelerated approach to Bible reading revealed something profound that my previous annual reading plans never could. Rather than examining small portions of Scripture in isolation, reading large chunks daily allowed me to step back and see God's grand narrative unfold like viewing an entire painting instead of focusing on a two-inch corner. The chronological arrangement provided crucial context, especially when moving between historical books and prophetic writings. Witnessing Paul's missionary journeys in Acts alongside his epistles brought new depth to familiar passages.My method combined visual reading with audio input—following along in my physical Bible while listening through earbuds—which required 30-45 minutes of daily commitment. The dual-input approach helped maintain focus and improved retention. Throughout this experience, God's persistent faithfulness became unmistakably clear, even through the sometimes-depressing sections of judgment found in the prophetic books.Despite the tremendous benefits, I'm now feeling led to slow down again. The rapid pace left little time for meditation, journaling, and allowing specific passages to deeply penetrate my heart. There's a balance to be found between seeing Scripture's grand narrative and camping out in individual chapters where the Holy Spirit can speak personally.Have you ever read through the entire Bible? Whether you choose a 90-day sprint or a more measured pace, I challenge you to experience the fullness of God's Word in 2024. If this approach intrigues you, consider joining me in the YouVersion Bible app where chronological reading plans make this journey accessible to everyone. Let me know how your Bible reading journey is going—I'd love to hear what God is showing you through His Word!Support the show
