Bold Faith | What Do You Mean?

Bold Faith | What Do You Mean?

People often ask the question; what does it mean to have bold faith? Or to be bold in your faith. Often the answer is to look at Peter walking on water.

Many of us wish that we could be more bold when it comes to everyday life situations like applying for that job, or that promotion, or starting a business. Maybe with the recent pandemic you've lost your job and you need boldness to turn that side-hustle you have dreamed of into a full time gig.

Powerful speakers like Tony Robbins will tell you to burn the boats! Others will tell you to just jump off the cliff and worry about building the parachute on the way down!

Is this the best advice? Will it really help you achieve your goals? Is that a biblical approach?

In this week's episode of Friday Night Fire, Mike and Mat are going to look at what the Bible ACTUALLY says about being bold and how you can actually see a clear pattern of how to use that boldness that you've been wishing for.

Before you burn the boats, before you jump off the cliff and build the parachute on the way down, tune in to Friday Night Fire and listen in as Mike and Mat really dig into some powerful scriptures that may just cause you to do a paradigm shift on what it means to be bold in your life, and your faith.

Tithes And Offering

Tithes And Offering

Welcome to another episode of Friday Night Fire! In this video we are talking about tithes and offering. You may be questioning what does that even mean? We'll talk about that! Or next... Why do you tithe? Is tithing biblical or did the church drop that rule in there so they can make money, pay pastors, and fund playgrounds? Should we still be tithing in 2021 or is this an old principle?

You all know how we do this on Friday Night Fire so we look forward to you tuning in and having some dialogue with us!

Sex And The Bible

Sex And The Bible

In this episode we are going to dive right in. Sex and the Bible, what does it say, what doesn't it say? What does it mean? Is sex only for the purpose of making babies to populate the earth? Is it wrong to focus on pleasure or is it a duty? Is sex only designed to be between husband and wife? What does the Bible say about multiple relationships or relationships of convenience? What's off limits? Is there off-limits?

During our Friday Night Fire shows we have reasonable dialogue regarding sometimes tough topics that come up in our current conversations, social environment, and society. We tackle this subject that can sometimes be seen as faux-pas or difficult to talk about and so much more on this episode! We hope you will join us!

We look forward to you joining us for another Friday Night Fire!

Speaking In Tongues. What Is It? Is It Real?

Speaking In Tongues. What Is It? Is It Real?

What is speaking in tongues? Have you ever gone to service and heard people worship in a language that's totally unfamiliar to you? Or maybe seen what Hollywood makes out speaking in tongues to be, something that is glorified or even demonized, and it appears almost unreal?

We need to go look at what the Bible says, especially a subject such as this. And the Bible does share some good information on the subject of speaking in tongues. We are all human and we can make mistakes, or present subjects out of context, even those who have studied the Bible for many years.

So, what is speaking in tongues exactly? How should speaking in tongues be used in the church? Should every Christian speak in tongues?

We look forward to you joining us for another Friday Night Fire!

Answering God's Call | Are You Listening When He Is Calling?

Answering God's Call | Are You Listening When He Is Calling?

Tonight we have some discussion on what it really means to be "called" and once you feel it, are you answering God's call?

How do you know if it IS God’s call? What does being “called” even mean? If Pastors are called...what are plumbers? Are all people called, some people called? If some people are called, but not others, what does THAT mean about those who aren’t?

Do these things even matter?

Often I think we can get tied up in the details and we can get fed up with the voice or tasks, that we think God is calling us to do.

What causes us to question? What has kept you at your post and in service? If God has kept you in a spot is it because he wants you there? Or, are you not listening with ears wide open at the direction that God is calling you?

America, Politics, And Jesus

America, Politics, And Jesus

Does Jesus line up with your political views? Can America be saved? Who would Jesus vote for today? It's time for Friday Night Fire! We're going to talk about The United States of America, Politics, and Jesus.

As a follower of Christ... what do you think God's perspective on todays government is? How on earth would Jesus begin to respond to politics, the elections, the current hearings, court cases, our laws? Best of all... How can we as Jesus' follower reflect him in all that is going on?

This is a show you will certainly want to tune in for! See you Friday Night for some Fire! Hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips. #Faith #Motivation #Inspiration #Conversation

What Does It Mean To Be Saved? | What Is Salvation?

What Does It Mean To Be Saved? | What Is Salvation?

Many people struggle with the question, “What does it mean to be saved?” First of all, salvation (being saved) is more than just having knowledge of who Jesus is, or accepting the fact that Jesus is alive, or that God sent him into the world to die for our sins.

But what does it mean really then, to be saved? What is salvation and why do I need to be saved? How can we know that we are saved? These are all questions that many followers of Christ really struggle with.

So this week on we dive in, and help in answering the question "What does it mean to be saved?"

We look forward to connecting with you for another Friday Night Fire!

Why We Must Forgive

Why We Must Forgive

In this episode of Friday Night Fire, we have the conversation on why we must forgive. Let's be honest... forgiveness is hard. Especially depending on a myriad of circumstances.

And while forgiveness is easier said than done, are there benefits to forgiving others? Are there physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits? Does just forgiving someone actually reduce anger? Does it I help YOU stop hurting? If we are able to forgive people, what impact does that have on depression and stress? Is there any truth to what people say about forgiveness giving optimism and hope compassion vitality and confidence? What if… forgiveness could actually help you live truly free of resentment or anger?

Do we have to reconcile with people in order to forgive them? Do we have to accept them as friends and continue a relationship with someone if we choose to forgive them? What if that person is living a life filled with harmful behaviors? Can you actually forgive and forget? Maybe this is not a forgive and forget conversation, but forgive and move closer to God conversation.

We are going to wrestle with these tough questions and more on Friday Night Fire this week.

We look forward to connecting with you for another Friday Night Fire!

Hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips.

Women In Church Leadership

Women In Church Leadership

Time for another Friday Night Fire episode! A few weeks ago we explored men in the church. This week we get into women in church leadership.

Should women be able to lead in the church? Many religious leaders say no, yet some churches say yes, women should be able to Pastor just like men? Why would people think women shouldn’t be able to lead in the first place?


What does the Bible say about women in church leadership?
Is there a reason the Bible shows us 12 male disciples? Is there a reason we don’t have something like ‘the Gospel of Mary?’

There are a lot of differing opinions regarding women in church leadership and in this episode we’re going to look and see what, if anything, the Bible says about the ability for women to lead. Plus, we are going to answer your questions live!

Tune in this week for another Friday Night Fire!

Hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips.

What Happens When We Die? | Where Does Our Soul Go?

What Happens When We Die? | Where Does Our Soul Go?

This weeks video for Friday Night Fire is going to be a great one. What happens when we die? What happens to our souls? Do we have a soul? How do you know? These questions came up last week at the end of Friday Night Fire from our friend Neil (UrbanExplorer).

We thought this would make for a great topic, and figured with the amount of discussion, it would be a whole show. So we look forward to you tuning in with us this week while tackle that conversation - Ghosts, Purgatory, the Supernatural... this show will be fire. What happens when we die? What is our interpretation of 'the soul'?

Looking forward to a great conversation tonight on Friday Night Fire. We look forward to having you join us!

How Much Is Your Faith Worth | Is God For Sale

How Much Is Your Faith Worth | Is God For Sale

It's a tough question... how much is your faith worth? Is it for sale? Is God for sale? Viewed in different context, EVERYTHING costs us something, our time, our energy, maybe our attention. That includes faith, there is a cost. Let's talk about how that impact's us.

On a different note, what we are asking is God for profit or is God for sale? There is a dimension to prosperity gospel that some view as "wrong;" featuring preachers like Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Pat Robertson, the disgraced and then born again Jim Bakker, or of course Jimmy Swaggart. Often times, the public puts these preachers into a box because they look as though they are selling God, or selling the message that Jesus gave us all for free - love and kindness - to turn a profit.

So how far is too far? How much is too much? Is there a line to the business side of religion, or is that line so blurred that we may have lost the true message and meaning of what Christianity is.

Looking forward to a great conversation tonight on Friday Night Fire. We look forward to having you join us!

Disconnected From God? | Are Men Lacking?

Disconnected From God? | Are Men Lacking?

Do you feel disconnected from God? Is this a man versus woman feeling? Are men lacking? I think at times we all feel this way. We take on burdens, and then try and shoulder them on our own, without God, inadvertently trying to be "the man."

Is this distance something that men feel stronger than women (in being disconnected from God), or is it just a distance from the church building itself. As we were talking about this episode Mat asked - "How important do you think it is for men to get back involved in the church?" Caring for one another, leaning on each other, praying openly for one another.

He had noticed at his own church, as more people are returning to church right now, the women far outnumber the men. So I looked up the info about involvement in church specifically for men versus women. It turns out that on any given Sunday in America, women outnumber men in church attendance at 61% versus men 39%.

So why are there fewer men in church? Let us know what you think in the comments. And, stick around we're going to light up the FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE!

Winning With People | Dealing With People You Disagree With

Winning With People | Dealing With People You Disagree With

Right now it seems many people are more interested in being right, or proving their own point, rather than winning with people. Tonight we tackle another tough topic: dealing with people you disagree with. How do we stay true to Christ, be kind, and show grace, when sometimes, speaking frankly, people are just so darn hard to deal with.

We figured there would be a lot of this discussion going on, especially with the heavily divided political lines here in the USA. So rather than worrying about WHO is right, we decided to talk about WHAT is right and how we can approach conversations with kindness, grace, and understanding.

Do you try to listen to other perspectives? What are some actions you take or things that you do hear others peoples ideas or opinions? How could you be more effective and open?

Let's do this! It's time for FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE! Hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips.

Modern Day Miracles

Modern Day Miracles

"Miracles" are inexplicable events that cannot be explained through scientific means, and in the faith world many attribute these events to the Lord. This week on Friday Night Fire.... we are talking about modern day miracles! Current stuff that is going on, Jesus at work right now!

While the Bible is filled with the miracles of God, though some might wonder if there are still modern-day miracles unfolding in our contemporary world. Some will debate about the details of various events and ponder whether unexplainable events really are miracles today. Are these current acts, an accident for the good, or an act of God?

Let's have this conversation! It's time for FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE! Hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips.

Wealth And Money | Is it Evil?

Wealth And Money | Is it Evil?

On this episode of Friday Night Fire, we talk about wealth and money. What are the biblical principles? Is money and wealth a good thing, or is it bad, or what is it exactly? We all want more wealth, we all want more money, and then when we ask for those things specifically often, we feel some level of guilt.

There are multiple pieces of financial advice in the bible. Yet, So often people will cite the Bible and say that money is the root of evil. How do you overcome that perception?

We look forward to you joining us on another Friday Night Fire. We are looking forward to a great vodcast!

This show is hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips. Mat and Mike are so excited to bring this podcast to you on Friday nights! We look forward to you joining us! #Faith #Motivation #Inspiration #Conversation

Tonight on Friday Night Fire we are talking mental health. Mental health is emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Our mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.

We are going to talk and tackle, depression, anxiety, frustration versus hope, faith, serenity, and growth. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Over the course of your life, if you experience mental health problems, your thinking, mood, and behavior could be affected. Many factors contribute to our mental health both the positives and the problems. How do we talk about subjects such as depression? Sometimes just the mention brings a certain stigma.

Join us on Friday Night Fire. We are looking forward to a great vodcast show! This vodcast is hosted by Mat Koenig and Mike Phillips. Mat and Mike are so excited to bring this podcast to you on Friday nights!

We look forward to you joining us! #Faith #Motivation #Inspiration #Conversation

Wives Submit To Your Husbands

Wives Submit To Your Husbands

We have heard it said, directly from the Bible, there in Ephesians 5:22. "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord." But biblically, what does that even mean? Submission in marriage has a bad connotation in today’s world. When society hears “wives submit to your husband,” they get frustrated and throw their hands up with the belief that a woman's submission to a man is demeaning. In general it's thought about as inferior, docile, or degrading.

It's important to know that these definitions are given by people, and not by God. So tonight we will dive into what does it mean for wives to submit to their husbands? And should a husband then submit to his wife? Or, how then does the husband respond, what is his role, and his duty? (I'll give you a hint, it's also right there in the Bible).

We are looking forward to another great Friday Night Fire!! Tune in live!! 🔥🔥🔥 (and on the replay!)

Say What You Mean, Do What You Said | Integrity

Say What You Mean, Do What You Said | Integrity

After watching the mess that was the 2020 Presidential Debate, Mat and I agreed on the subject of integrity, and how important it is to say what you mean and do what you said you would do.

Integrity in general is the quality of being honest, having strong moral principles and being whole and undivided. That is something that we both value so much and from the brief conversation we had after watching the first Presidential Debate this week, we figured this week on 🔥 Friday Night Fire 🔥 would be a great time to discuss how our words should match our actions and vice-versa. There is also an important piece on integrity in that, when you say you will do something - follow through is valuable, and important.

We are looking forward to another great conversation! We'll see you on Friday Night FIYA!! (Said with high pitched enthusiasm) 🔥🔥🔥 (and on the replay!)

The Bible, White Lies, And Half-Truths

The Bible, White Lies, And Half-Truths

Tonight on the podcast, Friday Night Fire we explore the Bible, white lies, and half-truths. We'll explore what the Bible says about telling the truth and how do we read into those "small little white-lies" that we tell our kids and our loved ones. I mean that seems ok right?

We'll talk about how important it is to follow through and keep our promises - to others, to ourselves, and to God. What about when we are the enablers for others?

This is a great conversation!

Defund the Police or Defend the Police? What Would Jesus Do?

Defund the Police or Defend the Police? What Would Jesus Do?

This Friday will be more conversation, than motivation. We focus on the biblical perspective of "Do we defund the police? - OR - Do we defend the police?" And we ask the question - What would Jesus Do?

We look forward to you joining us for another Friday Night Fire. This is our motivational, inspirational, faith-based, conversational podcast. And tonight we are asking, defund or defend, what would Jesus do?

Join us Friday Nights at 5 pm PST, 6 pm MST, 8 pm EST for FRIDAY NIGHT FIRE!

In tonight's episode of Friday Night Fire, we tackle - Can we find anything in the Bible on where do we as Christians take action right now? We love and respect police, the good ones of course. Why is there a need for police in the first place? Why do we need protection?

Besides asking what would Jesus do? What should we do, as Christians, right now today?
