Salt & Fire

The problem is when provision becomes performance, when the Rolex becomes proof of your faith and the jet becomes evidence of your anointing. In this episode, Evangelist Robert Martin draws a line between a God who exists to give you things and a God who funds every assignment he calls you to. One is prosperity. The other is provision. And knowing the difference changes everything about how you trust him.

The paralysis of analysis. The fear that one misstep could ruin everything. The endless waiting for more clarity before taking any step at all.

God would rather rescue you from a failure than watch you forfeit your calling by doing nothing at all.

In the final part of this series, Evangelist Robert Martin names the only voice that gets to fill in the blank.

Evangelist Robert Martin traces the history of Christian music from the upper room to today, and exposes how every generation adopted a new sound, then tried to make it law. Chant. Hymns. Orchestras.

Somewhere we confused contentment with casualness. We called small holy. We called hard work striving. And we stopped striking the ground.

Not "I never knew of you." He knows of everyone. The question is whether he knows you. The real you. The one he died for.

In this episode, Evangelist Robert Martin unpacks one of the most sobering passages in Scripture and asks the question we don't ask nearly enough. Are you known by God, or just busy for him?

A people without a heritage are easily persuaded. And a generation that doesn't know where it came from won't know where it's going. In this episode, Evangelist Robert Martin traces the unbroken chain of faith from Abraham to Azusa Street to right now, and calls this generation to stop rejecting the past and start running the race that was handed to them.

The transmitter is transmitting. The question is whether your receiver is on.

His blood brings redemption, silences the accuser, and cleanses the conscience.
