Eusebeia with Josh Kruger

A standalone podcast episode in follow up to the "Prayers and Creeds" episode.  Here I share the final portion of the weekly prayer my congregation says. The prayer closes with, "Save me, forgive me, and lead me in Jesus' name and His authority. Amen." In this podcast episode we take a look at the need to be saved, forgiven, and led. We learn about the power of a name and authority. And finally why we say "Amen."

A standalone podcast episode. There might be one more that follows it. Here I share the a portion of the weekly prayer my congregation says. Part of that prayer includes a creed, which I will teach on at my church. This podcast episode explores several creeds, the reason behind the creeds, and how these are used as part of our Christian confession.

The Leadership series concludes. Theme seven is leadership that is faithful. Absolutely essential. Finish what was begun. Remain faithful with character and integrity to the end.  Otherwise if a leader has a mission failure or moral failure it can destroy everything the leader sought to build. And so we focus on Jesus, the faithful leader.

The Leadership series continues. Theme six is leadership that teaches. Teaching is necessary to have followers. Otherwise if a leader had nothing to teach, why would others follow? The teaching ministry of the church is the rightward ministry. And we focus on Jesus, the master rabbi.

The Leadership series continues. Theme five is leadership that is pastoral.  Shepherding.  Committed to the nurturing and care and guidance of the sheep, those disciples made from the apostolic, prophetic, and evangelistic works. In the working geniuses it continues the Galvanizing theme and adds to it Enablement. And we focus on Jesus, the great shepherd, the pastor of pastors.

The Leadership series continues. Theme four is leadership that is evangelistic. Committed to the great commission from Jesus: make disciples. The Godward, visionary, re-creating story is good news! So we share the good news. This is the evangelistic ministry of the church. And in the working geniuses it continues Invention and adds to it Galvanizing. And we focus on Jesus, the evangelistic leader.

Reading Revelation comes to a close. We've journeyed thru 61 episodes! What a journey! What began late in 2024 comes a conclusion in early 2026. We can say the same about this book and its place in the canon and the overarching story. What began in Genesis "ends" in the second Genesis. But that "ending" is actually the beginning of a new creation. The final message to the churches. The Spirit and the bride both say, "come."

The new creation continues. It's a place of beauty and light and goodness. God's light and God's glory shines.  God reigns. The powers of darkness have no place here. The amazing vision of the new creation continues.

The new creation. It's a place of beauty and light and goodness. God's light and God's glory shines.  God reigns. The powers of darkness have no place here. The amazing vision of the new creation continues.

The Leadership series continues. Theme three is leadership that is creative and re-creative. Building on Godward and Visionary we witness God the Creator who creates people in His image. And carries on a rescue mission to restore, redeem, resurrect, and re-create. This continues the apostolic focus of the Five-Fold Ephesians 4 ministry. This explores the working genius of Invention. And we focus on Jesus, the re-creating and re-creative leader.
