Mavericks & Misfits with Jeff Lyle

By: Charisma Podcast Network
  • Summary

  • With all the mixed signals being sent out about God’s Kingdom, we need a spot to land and a place to live in the faith. Standing in front of Jesus, Pilate asked the epic question, “What is truth?” He wasn’t the last person to wonder. Amidst all the fading trends and fossilized traditions that pass themselves off as Christianity, many Jesus-followers find themselves spiritually homeless, living without a tribe to which they can connect. There has to be a landing spot for mavericks and misfits - a place they can call their home. Jeff Lyle, a self-declared church maverick and ministry misfit, hosts this podcast in order to cut through through all the incomplete, inaccurate and inadequate expression of modern Christianity. In the end, for all mavericks and misfits looking for God’s answers to life, eternity, relationships, culture and theology... home should always be where the truth is.

    Episode 218: When Do We Expose Them?

    In a world where spiritual leaders sometimes fall from grace, how do we navigate our faith journey with discernment? This powerful episode of Mavericks & Misfits delves into the challenging terrain of suspicion and skepticism in Christian ministry. Drawing wisdom from Acts 5, we're reminded of Gamaliel's counsel to 'leave them alone' if a movement is truly of God. This teaches us the importance of humility in our judgments, and the need to trust in God's ultimate discernment. Today’s podcast challenges us to examine our own hearts first, focusing on rooting out bitterness, cynicism, and unwarranted suspicion. It's a call to balance healthy discernment with a recognition that God often uses imperfect vessels for His perfect purposes. As we wrestle with these truths, we're encouraged to pray for wisdom, seek God's guidance, and resist the temptation to become crusaders against every perceived flaw in ministry.

    Episode 217: Going On Record About the Election

    In our spiritual journey, we often face the challenge of aligning our emotions, thoughts, and will with God's truth. As we approach a critical moment in our nation's history, we're called to reflect deeply on our values and how they align with our faith. This message challenges us to consider the sanctity of life and the profound responsibility we bear as Christians in shaping our society. The central theme revolves around protecting the unborn, drawing parallels to biblical accounts of child sacrifice to false gods like Molech. We're reminded of God's judgment on nations, including ancient Israel, for such practices – and we are called to consider how God would ever let America escape the same judgment. This isn't just about politics; it's about standing for God's creation and His image in every human life. As believers, we must ask ourselves: How will we account for our choices before God? Are we truly living out our faith in all aspects of our lives, including our civic duties? This message urges us to courageously stand for biblical principles, even when it's uncomfortable or unpopular. It's a call to align our votes with our values and to be unashamed in defending the vulnerable.

  • 3 Prophetic Questions Jesus once asked his closest followers
    Oct 22 2024

    Episode 209: 3 Prophetic Questions

    Jesus once asked his closest followers three vital questions. From those three questions found in Mark 8:18, we are able today to draw out three priorities that all modern believers should be considering. With the global chaos and biblical signs of the end of the age happening right in front of us, there is no option to be a passive spectator. These three ancient prophetic questions from Jesus can serve as a catalyst for our own present journeys in the faith. Time is of the essence, and we cannot afford to wake up late.
