What does it really mean to contend for what God has promised you? In this powerful message from FIRE Church founders John & Jenna Larson, we dive into the biblical truth that the blessings of God aren't always handed to us passively. Sometimes our blessings require pursuit, persistence, and unwavering faith.

Like Jacob wrestling through the night and refusing to let go until the breakthrough came, there are moments in our walk with God where pressing in makes all the difference. This message challenges you to stop waiting on the sidelines and start fighting for what God has already declared over your life.

Whether you're believing for healing, restoration, provision, or a promise that feels long overdue, this episode will stir your faith and ignite a fresh fire to keep contending for what's yours!

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why God honors persistence in prayer and faith
• What it means to wrestle with God and why He invites it
• How to position yourself to receive the fullness of God's "benefits" (Psalm 103:2)
• Practical encouragement to keep going when the blessing feels distant

Don't give up. Your blessing is worth contending for.

What does it really mean to know love, hope, and faith? Not just intellectually, but as a deep spiritual truth that transforms you?

In this episode, we explore these three foundational pillars of our life in Christ—not as abstract concepts, but as living revelations that God wants you to experience personally. When Paul prayed for the Ephesians, he didn't ask God to give them more information about love, hope, and faith. He asked God to reveal these truths to their hearts. And that same revelation is available to you.

Love isn't just a feeling or a command—it's the very nature of who God is. Hope isn't wishful thinking. It's an unshakeable confidence in God's promises. And faith isn't blind belief. It's the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen.

In this conversation, we unpack:

• What a true revelation of God's love means and how it differs from mere head knowledge
• The connection between love, hope, and faith in the Christian life
• How these three work together to anchor your soul and strengthen your spirit
• Practical ways to cultivate a deeper revelation of each in your daily walk
• How experiencing love, hope, and faith changes your perspective

If you've ever felt like these concepts are just words on a page, this episode is for you. God wants to move them from your head to your heart, from doctrine to experience.

Prepare your heart for a revelation that will transform your faith.

What kind of power does a born-again believer actually have in Christ? In this episode, we dive deep into two Greek words that transformed our understanding of biblical power: dunamis and exousia—and why the difference between them could revolutionize your spiritual life.

Dunamis is the raw, dynamic power—the explosive force and ability that comes from God. It's the power to do miracles, to heal the sick, and to move mountains. But exousia? That's something even more profound: it's the authority to use that power, the legal right and delegated dominion that Jesus has given to His followers.

Too many believers are living in spiritual poverty, unaware of the authority they've inherited. In this episode, we unpack:

• The biblical distinction between dunamis (power) and exousia (authority)
• How Jesus operated in both during His earthly ministry
• The power and authority He transferred to His disciples—and to us
• Practical ways you can exercise your God-given authority as a born-again believer
• Why understanding this transforms your prayer life, your witness, and your daily walk with Christ

Whether you're new to faith or a seasoned believer, this conversation will challenge you to step into the fullness of what's already yours in Christ. You have more power and authority than you realize—it's time to activate it.

Tune in to discover the power you've been given in Christ.
