Host Becky Hennesy welcomes America's favorite public school assembly speaker Reggie Dabbs to the podcast. Since the late 1980s, Reggie has been a familiar name for many teenagers who have heard him speak in hundreds of school systems, churches, youth camps and other events around the nation. His impact for the Kingdom is so broad and wide it's nearly impossible to measure.

He and Becky share about his latest move to the Dallas/Ft. Worth Texas region, where he's joined the Trinity Church pastoral staff. They also dive into how his role in the Kingdom has reformation roots that run deep into the hearts of America's youth.

Born to an unwed teenager, Reggie was raised by foster parents until he was in the fourth grade, and then they officially adopted him and gave him the Dabbs name.

As the Dabbs’ reared Reggie, they instilled in him strong moral values, for which he is genuinely grateful. They also ingrained in him the fact that in every situation he faced, he had a choice. What he did with those choices was entirely up to him.

In the sixth grade, Reggie began playing the saxophone and hated it. At the insistence of his parents he continued to practice and to play. Not until his freshman year in college did he actually enjoy the instrument, and today, he plays with fervor and expertise.

After graduating from college, Reggie began his public speaking. During one speaking engagement, his host asked if he would be interested in addressing a high school assembly. From that small beginning in 1987, Reggie has become a popular public school speaker.

When addressing a school assembly, Reggie talks to the kids in a humorous style about choices each of them has when faced with drugs, alcohol, suicide, etc. Reggie gets in kids faces and tells them that he never smoked a cigarette, never did drugs, never drank alcohol, because he chose not to. He assures them that they can make the same kinds of choices.

Reggie talks to kids about family and how thankful they should be that they have families.  Most of all, Reggie drives home the fact that “You can never change your past, but you can change your future!”

In this episode, we look at hypocrisy and it's manifestations in evangelical culture today. Many people rightfully chastise hypocrisy. What does hypocrisy look like biblically? Why do certain cultural leaders practice hypocrisy? How does slander become apparent?

When you make decisions, on whose behalf are you working? In other words, who do you really work for every day? When you work for God, how does that really look? Like a Pharisee? Like Daniel? Like Jesus? Join Kevin as he explores the ideas of motives and self-righteousness and witness in our walk with Jesus in the workplace. // Download this episode's Application & Action questions and PDF transcript at whitestone.org.

She doesn't fit the typical model of someone in full-time ministry. She's different. She's unique. And she's been the catalyst of a major shift unfolding the life of host Becky Hennesy.

Her name is Elizabeth Tiam-Fook: a Spirit-filled prophet, a pioneer and a reformer.  In this episode, Becky sits down with Elizabeth and they waste no time unpacking a treasure chest of wisdom for all those seeking to be an agent of authentic change in their community.

Fueled by  experiencing the manifest presence of God at the 1995 Brownsville Revival meetings (Pensacola, Florida), Elizabeth set her sail as teenager to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit at any cost and without reservation.  Today, nearly 25 years later, those seeds of revival have brought to harvest a ministry where she leads a group of nearly 200 prophets and prayer warriors who follow her genuine desire to see the Kingdom of God become visible in the earth.

Listeners will be inspired by Elizabeth's testimony, spiritual wisdom, and contagious outlook on ministry life.  But most of their conversation centers around the concept of what it means to be one of God's reformers and how they think/speak/act. They cover a wide range of topics: including Becky's own revelation that she's a reformer, why Martin Luther King battled so many spiritual attacks, and a divinely directed visit to Charleston, South Carolina to release intercessory prayer over the spirit of racial division in America.

Plus, at the end of this episode, Becky drops a MAJOR hint at something new and exciting happening with her podcast in the near future!

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Jonathan Reimer, an Assistant Professor of History at Eastern University, to talk about how we can talk, intelligently, accurately, and cordially about the Reformation. 

Dr. Reimer has some incredible insights about the roots of the Reformation, the Catholic response, and how we can best dialogue, across the Protestant/Catholic divide, about this unfortunate and divisive moment in Church history. 

And, how we can begin to build bridges! 

This is a fantastic episode for anyone who wants to know how to properly speak about the Reformation. You'll definitely learn something new!

In this week's episode of Into the Pray, at the beginning of this new season we've called "Work for Reformers", we begin to think and talk about the gift of prophecy. 

In 1 Corinthians 14:1, Paul tells us all to "Follow the way of love and eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy."

So what happens when the Church don't do that? What happens when we don't eagerly desire, receive or move in the gift of prophecy? 

Central to the work of all reformers in breaching the chaos of the Church is this much-maligned gift of the Spirit of God....oh, how we need His unction as we go about the rest of our lives. 

Broadly speaking, this week's episode is split into 4 sections, with the fourth section dropping next week. 

Please don't believe that the gift of prophecy is for someone else. What if He is wanting to give you the gift of prophecy right now? Mightn't that change everything? 

We pray that you would give Your gift, precious Spirit...oh, compel us, urge us, "unction us" as we yearn for Jesus to come. 

1. What Prophecy is and isn't.

2. What's the big deal with dispensation?

3. The landscape of the Church now. 

NEXT week

4. The No.1 Collateral Damage of Prophetic Messengers (Nick and Mairi's testimony)

Corrections: 

Hezekiah King of Judah NOT Israel

Hezekiah's prayer - 2 Kings 19

Jesus spoke of John the Baptist in Matthew 11 NOT Matthew 12

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Steve Weidenkopf, author and lecturer in History at the Christendom College Graduate School of Theology, to talk about the Protestant Reformation. Was it truly a reformation of the Christian Church or a revolution? Was the Catholic Church in need of reform? And what did the Reformers actually intend?
