Jesus Wants Us in the Game","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":5474,"description":"What happens when following Jesus becomes more about maintaining the institution than actually being the body of Christ? Brandon and Lindsy sit down with returning guest Jonathan Brenneman for a provocative conversation about church, authority, leadership, supernatural ministry, and the difference between spectator Christianity and active discipleship. Drawing from his years of missionary work in Brazil, Jonathan shares stories of healings, deliverance, evangelism, and encounters with the Holy Spirit that often happen far outside traditional church services—in homes, neighborhoods, recovery houses, restaurants, barbecues, and everyday life.\nTogether they challenge hierarchical models of church leadership and explore what the New Testament actually portrays when believers gather: shared meals, dialogue, spiritual gifts, mutual edification, and the participation of the whole body. The conversation moves into tithing, institutional structures, servant leadership, the priesthood of all believers, women in ministry, house churches, spiritual authority, and the dangers of allowing tradition or position to become more authoritative than Scripture. Ultimately, Jonathan calls believers not simply to leave something behind, but to recover a participatory Christianity where every believer is equipped to follow Jesus, serve others, speak the Word, and carry the presence and power of God into ordinary life.\nWebsite/blog: GoToHeavenNow.com\nEmail: Jonathan@GoToHeavenNow.com\n\nTimestamps\n00:00:28 – Welcome Back Jonathan Brenneman\n 00:02:27 – From Missions to Rethinking Church\n 00:04:55 – Healing, Miracles & Life Outside the Program\n 00:07:20 – Tithing, Grace & Leaving Institutional Expectations\n 00:09:41 – Ministry in the Streets of Brazil\n 00:12:00 – Manipulation, Money & the Spirit of Religion\n 00:14:22 – When Church Consumes the Mission\n 00:16:38 – Moving from Spectator to Participant\n 00:18:59 – The 59 “One Another” Commands\n 00:21:25 – Spiritual Gifts Around the Table...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SEi08kDnmS3ucXi-RfuKquACTpfh-Kjws-EHkJR3Eps/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYjhk/MGY5YjJhYTVlZGM1/ZDZhOWQ0MzNiMjIx/NWE4Yi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
