131: What is Jesus Worth?
MAPS Global Podcast
At the core of everything we do here at MAPS Global is this fundamental truth: Jesus is Worthy. But what does it mean when we ascribe “worth” to Jesus? Many times we can be prone to religious rhetoric when we say the word “worthy”. It is not just the right answer to a Sunday School question. “Jesus is Worthy” is a cost statement that demands a response. In this episode, R.A. Martinez talks about the first “why” at MAPS; the matchless worth of the Lamb of God that is the fuel and the finish line of all we do.

In this episode, we walk through both the Old and New Testaments, looking at the examples of what God requires of his people when it comes to generosity.

127: The Israel/Gaza War- Through The Lens of Mercy and The Great Commission
MAPS Global Podcast
R.A. Martinez sits down and discusses our perspective on the current war in the Middle East. Many are only seeing it from a geo-political perspective and seeking to take "sides". However, there is another perspective to look from and pray from. As a spiritual family we are praying and responding through the lens of God's heart for mercy and the Great Commission. Jesus is inviting us to contend for mercy in the midst of increasing conflict in the nations and to open a door in the region for the Gospel.

info_outlineWe are finishing up our episodes on R.A. Martinez’s "The Joseph Journey: What Every Pioneer Needs To Know" by looking at another brother's story: Judah. We see that Moses takes a break in Genesis 38, in the middle of Joseph's story, to look down the path of Judah's life. If we are not careful, jealousy and selfish ambition can take us off the Joseph Journey and down Judah’s road. In this episode, we break down seven unhealthy characteristics created under Judah’s leadership.
Seven characteristics of the culture created under Judah :
-
Rivalry and Competition
-
False Promises
-
Manipulation and Violation of Boundaries
-
Negotiation
-
Lack of transparency
-
Punishment
-
Disorder
