In this episode, hosts Melinda Wilson and Cathy Little are joined for Part 2 with Josh Hoffert for an in-depth discussion on the Desert Fathers and Mothers.

Josh shares insights from his research and his book, "Silent Fire: The Collection," offering practical wisdom on how modern listeners can incorporate these spiritual disciplines into their busy lives. The episode delves into the transformative power of solitude, the importance of community, and the profound benefits of letting go of distractions to connect more deeply with God. The discussion is both informative and practical, providing listeners with actionable steps to enhance their spiritual journey.

We had the honor of sitting down with Pastor Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in Redding, CA, both of which have had a huge impact on the Body of Christ by helping people to step into the fullness of what they were created for. We talk about knowing God's will, the goodness of God, the opportunity for the Church to shine in these dark days, and much more. We hope you enjoy our conversation.

We're excited to be kicking off Season 2 with Beni Johnson, author of several books and part of the senior lead team at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. From the context that we as humans are triune beings including a spirit, soul, AND a body, Beni shares candidly about her own health journey which includes a head on confrontation with breast cancer, and the importance of stewarding our bodies well. 

Our interview with Andy Reese, co-author of Freedom Tools, wraps up a very full Season 1 of the Face to Face Ministries Podcast. It's apropos to finish with Andy as he pretty much sums up the purpose of this project in the final 5 minutes. All the healing models need each other. We need to "slide our pieces of the puzzle into the middle of the table and take our hands off." Jesus is healing his Bride. What an honor that he chooses to use us in the process. 

Join us for an educational and entertaining episode with best selling author of "Freedom Tools" and the president of Freedom Prayer, Andy Reese. Andy is a lead trainer for Freedom Prayer and is a highly sought after speaker on the topic of Freedom. You'll enjoy this conversation as Andy breaks down what heart healing is in the context of the 4 parables found in Luke 15.

Our interview with Ed Piorek happened just before the lockdown due to COVID19. Little did we know how important and relevant it would be when we aired it. Join us for part 2 as Ed talks about being ok with the mysteries of God. He also shares with us a simple and powerful tool known as, The Jesus Prayer. "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us." 

Many of our prior guests have mentioned the late John Wimber, leader of The Vineyard Church movement, as a strong influence in their lives and their passion for healing.

Join us as he shares with us about Wimber, The Vineyard, his personal passion for people to know the love of the Father, and also contemplative Christianity. You don't want to miss it!
