In Christianity, the altar holds deep significance for both symbolic and practical reasons. For many Christians, it is seen as a place where God’s presence dwells in a special way, especially during worship and reverent moments. Historically, altars in the Bible were used as places to offer sacrifices to God. Today, the altar also symbolizes the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, making it a sacred space where Heaven and Earth meet. "Altars Over Thrones" represents the prioritization of the Cross over the crowd, prophecies over policies, and a return to the genuine biblical path for transformation—both personal and national. Join us for a powerful conversation with pastor, speaker, and author of the newly released book Altars Over Thrones, John Hammer.

There has been a rise in Christian "TMZ-like ministries" that focus on exposing the latest controversies surrounding ministers and ministries that have erred. It has become increasingly popular for ministries to blast rather than build Today, the news and entertainment industries thrive on controversy and outrage, often fueling division. Additionally, platforms like YouTube, X, Facebook, and TikTok amplify conflicts, as people react impulsively without deep thought. This quick-response culture contributes to the spread of misinformation, leading to outrage over things that may not even be true. How should we view this? What is the lens of the New Testament concerning this? In this episode of Keep It 100, we discuss "The Pure Gospel vs. The Petty Gospel" in a deep conversation with Apostolic Leader and Author Chazdon Strickland. He addresses the growing trend of "spill the tea" ministries and YouTubers who focus on fallen ministers, offering insight into the biblical response and the posture believers should take.

In the vast landscape of life, every believer is assigned a spiritual territory by God—an area of influence, authority, and responsibility uniquely given to them. This territory encompasses your personal life, family, community, and beyond. However, the process of taking over, defending, expanding, and flourishing within this God-ordained territory is not without its challenges. Spiritual forces, both seen and unseen, seek to undermine the progress of believers, keeping them confined, frustrated, and limited in their walk with Christ. Yet, as believers, we are called not merely to survive but to conquer, resulting in a need like the Prophet Jeremiah says, "to run with horses". In this episode of Keep it 100, we have a little recap of our Momentum 2025 Conference and then have a conversation on the poignant and prophetic themes that God laid on our hearts for this gathering.

It's a NEW YEAR and there's grace to hear afresh from the Spirit of God. Prophetic words are not just a luxury, but a necessity. Just as communication is vital in human relationships, hearing God's voice strengthens the bond between a believer and the Creator. Hearing God's voice provides clarity and direction in life. It helps believers make decisions aligned with divine will, avoiding confusion and uncertainty. In times of hardship, doubt, or fear, hearing God's voice can provide reassurance, hope, and comfort....And these are those times! In this episode of Keep It 100 we have an in depth and insightful convo with Pastor, Author and Prophetic Minister Dr. Michael Maiden on how he learned to get and give prophetic encouragement to the world around him.

In Christianity, taking risks is important because it helps build trust with God, and it's a way to show faith in God's grace. Risk activates faith, which is more than just a feeling. It's a way of telling doubt and emotions that you trust God enough to take action. Additionally, Risk is a skill that can be learned, strengthened, and grown. Yet, Risk-taking in faith is not recklessness but a bold confidence that God is faithful, able, and sovereign, even when the path is uncertain. This truth will be vitally important in the coming year of 2025. In this episode of Keep It 100, we have a pivotal conversation with Author, Pastor and International speaker Apostle Joshua Giles on the subjects of Risk-Taking, An emerging generation revival, the coming rise in both turbulence and Spiritual Gifts.
