Mavericks & Misfits with Jeff Lyle

Auteur(s): Charisma Podcast Network
  • Résumé

  • 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.

  • Upside Down Christmas

    Episode 223: Upside Down Christmas

    As we approach the Christmas season, we're invited to reflect on the profound paradox of Christ's birth. The Gospel of Luke presents us with a seemingly ordinary event - a child born in humble circumstances. Yet this birth represents the most extraordinary moment in human history: God becoming man. We're challenged to look beyond the sentimentality often associated with the nativity and recognize the raw, messy reality of Jesus' birth. This serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's willingness to fully embrace the human experience, from the vulnerability of infancy to the agony of the cross. The imagery of the King of Kings being wrapped in simple swaddling clothes and laid in a manger speaks volumes about God's nature and His plan for redemption. As we contemplate this, we're called to emulate Christ's humility in our own lives, recognizing that true greatness often comes through lowering ourselves in service to others.

  • The Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
    Dec 10 2024

    Episode 222: The Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

    In the most recent episode of Mavericks & Misfits, we encounter a powerful exploration of the unpardonable sin as we delve into the depths of Jesus' teaching on the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The central passage, found in Matthew 12, reveals a profound spiritual truth: while all sins can be forgiven, there's one that stands apart, and Jesus declared that this sin will not be forgiven in this age or the one to come. As we unpack this concept, we're challenged to consider the gravity of repeatedly and willfully attributing the work of Holy Spirit to Satan. This isn't about a momentary lapse or theological misunderstanding, but a hardened heart that persistently rejects the Holy Spirit's ways, works, and revelation. We are reminded of the crucial role the Holy Spirit plays in our salvation journey - convicting us of sin and granting us the ability to repent. This message serves as both a sobering warning and a call to remain sensitive to the Spirit's work in our lives. As we reflect on this teaching, we're encouraged to approach God's work with humility and openness, recognizing that His ways may sometimes challenge our preconceptions.

  • Getting Free From the Spirit of Fear
    Dec 3 2024

    Episode 221: Getting Free From the Spirit of Fear

    In this episode of Mavericks & Misfits, we are confronted with the reality of spiritual warfare and the dangerous possibility of the spirit of fear in our lives. The central theme revolves around Deuteronomy 20:8, which warns us about the contagious nature of any fear we might be carrying inside. We're reminded that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The testimony from 2022 of the dove and the vultures on the grounds of Antioch Outpost serves as a poignant metaphor for the spiritual battles we face, highlighting how periods of peace can be followed by intense spiritual attacks. This message challenges us to recognize fear as a spiritual issue, not just an emotional one, and encourages us to seek deliverance and freedom. We're called to examine our hearts, confront our fears, and consider how our spiritual state affects those around us. The ultimate goal is to live in the fullness of faith, free from the bondage of fear, so we can fulfill our divine purpose and positively impact others.
