Monday Mar 23, 2026

But the spirit of adoption by the Heavenly Father says “you are loved; you are chosen.” Dick talks about how we always have access to the Father because of His love that mitigates fear and gives us courage to say yes to everything the Lord wants to do through us.

The Father Heart of God - Part 2: Wrong Concepts of God
Monday Mar 16, 2026
Monday Mar 16, 2026
In part 2 of the Father Heart of God Podcast series, Dick covers common FALSE concepts of God: the cosmic killjoy, the Santa Clause God, the disinterested God, the perfectionist God, the harsh and angry judge, the control freak God, and the "religious" God. These wrong concepts of the Father keep us from having an intimate relationship with Him. Dick talks about how God doesn't just bless us when we're good, but He blesses us because we are His beloved children.

Monday Mar 09, 2026
Monday Mar 09, 2026
In this first session on the Father Heart of God, Dick shares his story of how he went from a lost, disillusioned young man to a man saved by Jesus, healed by the Holy Spirit, and deeply loved by the Father. He introduces God the Father in John chapter 1, where He makes the greatest offer any human can receive: the right to become a child of God. God sets a table before us, offering all the grace we need to obey Him in every season of life: in our work, in our marriages, and even as we age in our final days.

Sanctifying Love - Fellowship 3
Monday Dec 29, 2025
Monday Dec 29, 2025
This is part 3 of 4 in a series on fellowship. In this episode, Dick continues teaching a definition of love, covering honesty & humility and concern & restoration. He talks about how honesty prevents us from putting on the prideful mask of wanting to be known for something other than our true selves. We are meant to humble ourselves before God and others so we can have a pure heart of service without needing to prove ourselves or our ministry. Finally, true fellowship involves having proper concern and being willing to restore & rebuke our brothers and sisters in Christ.
