The Armor of God, part 1
Courageous Conversations
05/13/25 • 47 min
Before we equip ourselves with the armor of God, we need to understand the spiritual warfare happening all around us. When we identify the enemy's schemes, we can equip ourselves to overcome him.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

God is looking for Marked Men and Women
Courageous Conversations
01/18/23 • 20 min
In this Episode, Pastor Steve Berger breaks down what it means to be a marked man or woman. According to Ezekiel 9:4, a marked man or woman is someone who laments over the detestable things being done in a city. They aren't so complacent, and comfortable that they cannot feel the heart of God towards a community or group of people. No, in fact, they are those who weep and tarry before God in prayer, asking for His mercy and power to come and bring healing to the land. It is not enough to simply be concerned with the detestable things going on in our day, friends. We must go from concern to care. And our care is shown in whether or not we are bringing our cities and people before God, practicing things like Identificational repentance whereby we take on the sins of our cities as if they were our own and repent on behalf of all the detestable things we are seeing.

Truth Has Fallen In The Streets
Courageous Conversations
01/02/22 • 39 min
At our first Night Of Truth, Steve shared a word from Isaiah 59:14-16 about the fact that "Truth has Fallen in the Streets." In the days we are living in, it is evident that there are very few people who treasure truth and live in light of it. Twisting, lies, and deceipt seem to be the lay of the land. We however, as the people of God have a chance to take the truth which has fallen, cradle it in our arms in 2022 and take it with us everywhere we go allowing it to pervade our lives and the lives around us, becoming the salt which flavors the life we are called to live for the King.

The 7 Spirits of Sodom Pt. 4: A Subtle Decay of Morals
Courageous Conversations
02/28/22 • 19 min
You can't dwell in the midst of wickedness, seeing and hearing what’s going on and not be affected by it. When you allow yourself to be spiritually oppressed and tormented by a Spirit of Depravity, you are setting yourself up for a fall, a caving in of all you know to be true and righteous! Stand strong, stand firm, stay true to the Word of God. He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Turn to God and live an abundant and contagious life!

A Loving God in a Suffering World
Courageous Conversations
07/11/22 • 40 min
This message was preached at One Church Home in Fairview, TN, on June 26th 2022.
_____
When someone tells you they are going to be sharing on suffering, you want that person to be particularly familiar with suffering themselves if they are to speak with any level of authority on the subject. Pastor Steve Berger is that man. His and Sarah Berger's story of loss, eternal perspective, and hope in the presence of tangible loss is a credit to the presence of Christ in their lives and the sure foundation they have chosen to plant themselves on. May this message restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you in Christ for the days ahead (I Peter. 5:10).

C.S. Lewis once said that one of the most cowardly things that ordinary folks do is close their eyes to the facts. In this episode, Pastor Steve Berger reminds us that Scripture tells us NOT to sleep on what's going around us. We have to understand right versus wrong and take a stand! But we also have to be ready for the pushback we'll receive in doing so. Tune in for this timely message on why it's so important to expose the Spirit in the culture we're all living in.
