Throughout the episode, Anthony opens the floor to the audience, encouraging them to share their reflections and testimonies. One guest, Michelle, speaks about how this series has brought her newfound peace and rest in God, learning to trust Him more fully. Another, Mary Ann, shares how God's provision and shalom have enabled her to be a source of strength for a friend during a challenging time.
 
In the final segment, Anthony touches on the importance of building daily habits and intentional moments of seeking God. He reminds us that God is not trying to knock us down, but rather guide us towards a life of rest and peace as we learn to trust Him completely.
 
Join us for this inspiring and empowering episode as we continue to explore the power of Altar'd Living and the transformation that comes from seeking God with our whole hearts. Remember, we're not just listeners; we're a community, seeking God together, one altar at a time.

Altar’D Living: From Death to Life

Welcome to the In the Red Podcast with Anthony Hart! In this episode, we dive deep into the transformative power of moments with God. Over the past few weeks, we explored Old Testament examples of people who encountered God and how it changed their lives. But, as we'll discover, these encounters were not one-time fixes; rather, they were stepping stones to growth.
Anthony shares a powerful insight: encountering God and experiencing a revelation of who He is can be life-changing for a season, but there's a deeper connection required for continued growth. The first encounter with God is essential, but it's not a "one-stop shop" where we get all the answers and never need anything more.
He uses relatable anecdotes to illustrate this point. He talks about the first moments with God, where we feel His love, mercy, and forgiveness, but how there comes a time when deeper understanding and revelation are needed to navigate different seasons of life.
Anthony adds an "Amen" to emphasize the significance of those altar-ing moments, noting that we shouldn't just seek to go back and relive them. Instead, we should recognize that we need more, a deeper connection with God as we grow in our faith.
Drawing parallels from personal experiences, the conversation delves into the maturing phase that occurs after meeting Christ. Just like meeting someone for the first time and needing a deeper revelation of their character as the relationship grows, our relationship with God demands ongoing spiritual growth.
The discussion takes us to Acts 17:24-27, where the Apostle Paul addresses non-believers in Athens, Greece. The scripture reminds us that God is ever-present, not far from us, and that we should seek Him with earnestness.
The conversation further explores Peter's journey and how he went from fear and doubt to unwavering faith. Moments of encounter with God brought transformation in Peter's life, leading him to a point of willingness to die for his faith, a joy and peace rooted in God's presence.
Through these stories, we uncover the nature of God, represented in three altar moments in the Old Testament: God as the Provider, God as the Banner, and God as Peace.
Anthony emphasizes that moments of encounter with God impart the fruit of the Spirit into our lives. Encounter moments aren't just moments of expectation but moments of impartation, where God's love, joy, and peace invade our hearts, transforming us from within.
As we journey with God, these moments of encounter leave a lasting impact. They define our understanding of God's goodness, and our personal testimonies become powerful declarations of His reality. With personal experiences and scriptural insights, this episode encourages listeners to seek deeper connections with God, embracing growth, and experiencing His transformative love and power. Join us as we explore the life-changing power of moments with God on the In the Red Podcast with Anthony Hart!

Altar’D Living: A Peaceful Place

Welcome to the In the Red Podcast with Anthony Hart. If you haven't been with us for the first couple of weeks, we've been on a sermon series called Altar'd Living. It's all about establishing the core of what we do at the altar and understanding its purpose. Often, we get caught up in what we bring to the altar and forget that it's meant to be a transformative exchange with God.
In this podcast, Anthony Hart delves into the concept of altered living by exploring stories from the Old Testament where altars were built and revelations were experienced. These revelations reveal who God is and how He works in our lives. When we bring our brokenness, cares, and fears to the altar, God exchanges them for life, joy, and peace.
Anthony draws from biblical examples such as Abraham, Moses, and Gideon to illustrate the power of the altar and the transformative nature of encountering God. He emphasizes that the altar is not just a physical structure but a symbol of surrendering our burdens and allowing God to bring wholeness and restoration.
Through engaging storytelling and relatable anecdotes, Anthony challenges listeners to examine the altars in their own lives—both physical and metaphorical—and consider how they can be torn down and rebuilt in alignment with God's original intent. He emphasizes the importance of seeking God in our time and place, experiencing His peace, and walking in His blessings.
Join Anthony Hart as he explores the depths of biblical peace (shalom) and how it goes beyond mere tranquility. Discover how altar'd living can lead to a profound transformation in your relationship with God and others. Experience the power of the altar and learn to walk in the fullness of what God has for you. It's time to embrace the journey of In the Red Podcast and discover the beauty of a life altered by encounters with God.

Altar’D Living: Independence of Peace

Welcome to the "In the Red Podcast" with Anthony Hart. In this series, Pastor Anthony delves into the intriguing world of the book of Judges, exploring its significance and relevance for our lives today. Join us as he uncovers the historical backdrop of Judges, which follows the era of Joshua, and discover the profound implications it holds for understanding our own spiritual journey.
 
The children of Israel, guided by a lineage of patriarchs from Abraham to Joseph, found themselves enslaved in Egypt due to their perceived threat by the ruling powers. But God intervened, sending Moses to lead them through the wilderness and Joshua to bring them into the promised land. However, even in this land of abundance and authority, the Israelites faced a crisis.
 
The book of Judges captures this pivotal moment when the Israelites, despite knowing their heritage and the promises of God, faltered and allowed themselves to be influenced by the very people they had conquered. It is a story of misplaced priorities, emotional decision-making, and a lack of true knowledge and relationship with God.
 
Through thought-provoking discussions, Anthony Hart examines the implications of Judges for our lives today. He challenges us to question whether we truly know God or merely know about Him. Anthony explores the importance of encountering God personally and having our lives transformed by His presence.
 
Join us on the "In the Red Podcast" as we embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. Through these conversations, we hope to expand our understanding of who God is and how knowing Him intimately can truly alter the course of our lives. It's time to remove the boundaries that hinder our connection with God and experience the profound impact of His presence in our worship, relationships, and daily choices.

Altar’D Living: Altering Your Trajectory

Welcome to the latest "In the Red Podcast" episode titled "Altar'd Living - Altering Your Trajectory." In this thought-provoking discussion, Pastor Anthony dives deep into the significance of the altar and its transformative power in our lives.
The conversation opens emphasizing the biblical truth that we are overcomers by nature, highlighting the importance of walking in our identity and speaking words of victory over ourselves. Pastor Anthony adds to this notion, questioning why, as overcomers, we sometimes find ourselves underwhelmed, reminding us of the invitation to keep walking and overcoming through the power of the altar.
The episode unfolds as he explores the concept of altered living and its connection to the altar. He reflects on the diverse forms altars can take, ranging from traditional church altars to personal altars found in unexpected places. He stresses that it's not about the physical structure itself but rather what it represents both in the past and present.
Drawing from the Old and New Testaments, Pastor Anthony sheds light on the invitation presented by the New Testament—an invitation for all individuals, regardless of their background, to operate in the transformative space offered by the church. However, he acknowledges that the diverse mindsets people bring with them can create distractions and divisions within the body of Christ.
He delves into the issue of misconceptions about God, highlighting how often we project our own thoughts and emotions onto Him. He encourages listeners to seek a true understanding of God's nature and avoid being led solely by feelings and emotions.
The discussion continues by addressing the dynamic nature of altar moments, emphasizing that laying everything on the altar is not a one-time event. He stresses the importance of continuously evolving and growing in our relationship with Christ. He refers to a passage in Acts 17, where Paul engages with the people of Athens, who possessed limited knowledge of God. He draws parallels between the Athenians' search for the unknown God and the journey of believers today.
As the episode progresses, he introduces the concept of ignorance, distinguishing it from derogatory judgment. He explains how ignorance can arise from complacency and generational patterns, limiting our understanding and connection with God. Pastor Anthony urges the church to move beyond denominational boundaries and expand their knowledge of who God truly is.
He concludes by emphasizing the power of revelation that occurs when we release our preconceived notions and approach God as the ultimate source. He discusses how the altar represents a pivotal moment of repentance, leading to a transformative relationship with Jesus, rather than mere religious rituals. Furthermore, he highlights the significance of tearing down idols and religious constructs to embrace a genuine, altered living experience.
Tune in to this episode of "In the Red Podcast" to gain profound insights into the power of the altar and its potential to alter your trajectory in life. Discover how embracing an authentic relationship with Jesus can lead to a paradigm shift and a life of true victory and purpose.
