The Kingdom of God Is At Hand!

Podcast Summary:

In this episode of As In Heaven, Bryan Elliott and host Matt Davis are joined by Bryan’s daughter Bryn, and Chantal Fowler to explore the connection between repentance and the Kingdom of God. 

Through personal stories and spiritual insights, the discussion tackles the critical, often overlooked role repentance plays in accessing the Kingdom of God. By embracing repentance as a lifestyle, believers can experience deeper intimacy with God, break free from strongholds, and align themselves with God’s original design. 

The episode emphasizes the power of turning to God, not just for personal salvation but for living a life that invites others into the Kingdom through discipleship, family restoration, and love.

Key Takeaways:

1. Repentance as a Gateway: True repentance is essential for entering and experiencing the Kingdom of God. It’s more than just a one-time event - it's a lifestyle that leads to transformation.
2. Breaking Strongholds: Strongholds are hidden belief systems that work against God’s truth. Through repentance and the renewing of the mind, these strongholds can be broken, allowing freedom.
3. Family Discipleship: Discipleship begins at home. Restoring broken relationships within the family through repentance and love creates a foundation for generational discipleship.
4. Reflecting the Father: In challenging relationships, asking “Who are you reflecting?” helps believers align with God rather than reacting to others in hurt or judgment.
5. The Power of Sonship: Before being effective fathers or mothers, individuals must fully embrace their identity as sons and daughters of God, rooted in His love.
