| 6/18/26 | ![]() What If God Is Better Than You Think? A Conversation with Chuck Ammons About “Reconstructing Dad” | Many people believe in God but quietly struggle to trust Him. For some, that struggle comes from painful experiences with earthly fathers. For others, it comes from years of seeing God primarily through the lens of judgment, disappointment, fear, or performance. In this episode, Dr. Brent Simpson sits down with Pastor Chuck Ammons of Overflow Church in Valrico, Florida, to discuss his new book Reconstructing Dad: Discovering the God Who Looks Just Like Jesus. Together, they explore one of the most important questions in the Christian life: What is God really like? Pastor Chuck shares the personal journey behind the book, the burden that led him to write it, and why he believes so many believers are living as spiritual orphans rather than beloved sons and daughters. The conversation dives into difficult questions about Scripture, the Old and New Testaments, judgment, mercy, the Father heart of God, and how Jesus perfectly reveals who the Father has always been. Whether you've wrestled with your image of God, struggled to reconcile difficult passages of Scripture, or simply want to grow deeper in your understanding of the Father's love, this conversation will challenge and encourage you. 🔍 In This Episode ✅ Pastor Chuck's story and the journey of Overflow Church ✅ Why he felt compelled to write Reconstructing Dad ✅ How our earthly father experiences shape our view of God ✅ Why many Christians live like spiritual orphans instead of beloved children of God ✅ The "God of the Old Testament vs. God of the New Testament" dilemma ✅ Why Chuck says "Dad looks just like Jesus" ✅ How to read difficult passages of Scripture through the lens of Christ ✅ Justice, mercy, judgment, and the Father's heart ✅ The tension between hope and universalism ✅ What Chuck hopes readers take away from the book 📖 About the Book Reconstructing Dad: Discovering the God Who Looks Just Like Jesus invites readers to reconsider the images and assumptions they carry about God and return to the Father revealed in Christ. Through biblical exploration, theological reflection, and pastoral insight, Chuck argues that God's heart has always been revealed most clearly in Jesus. 👤 About Pastor Chuck Ammons Pastor Chuck Ammons serves at Overflow Church near Tampa, Florida.

Dr. Brown shares firsthand stories from the Brownsville Revival, offering rare insight into what God was genuinely doing during that historic move, as well as the challenges, criticisms, and long-term fruit that followed. Rather than nostalgia or hype, this conversation focuses on spiritual discernment, biblical grounding, and lasting transformation. We also hear personal, behind-the-scenes stories from Dr. Brown’s time with two giants of the modern prayer and revival movement—Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson. These moments reveal the weight, cost, humility, and prayer life that marked true revival leaders—far beyond public platforms and emotional moments. This is a sobering, encouraging, and deeply pastoral conversation for anyone hungry for a genuine move of God—and wise enough to want it rooted in truth. ✨ Connect with Dr. Brown: www.TheLineofFire.org ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent:💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson🌐 BrentSimpson.com🏡 MyAriseChurch.com 🎙️ Listen to the Podcast:You can listen on Podbean or anywhere podcasts are found:https://creatingthefuture.podbean.com/ | 42m 16s | ||||||

| 1/18/26 | ![]() Strange Fire vs. Sacred Flame: How to Discern True Revival | Welcome to Creating the Future with Dr. Brent Simpson where we dive into stories, truths, and deep questions that help shape our faith, our families, and our future. In this episode, Dr. Brent continues the Great Awakenings conversation with Pastor Ada Simpson by addressing one of the most important questions facing the modern church: How do we discern true revival from artificial spirituality? Using Jonathan Edwards’ historic work The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, Dr. Brent walks us through eight biblical tests that help separate genuine moves of God from emotional hype, spiritual excess, or personality-driven movements. Together, we explore why the church is especially vulnerable to strange fire in this generation, and how both cessationism and unchecked revivalism can lead believers away from healthy, Christ-centered spirituality. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why revival must exalt Jesus above experiences, gifts, and personalities• How conviction, repentance, and holiness mark genuine moves of God• Why love for Scripture is non-negotiable in authentic revival• How theology protects revival from emotional deception• Why love, humility, and compassion are evidence of God’s Spirit• How character change matters more than emotional encounters• Why perseverance over time proves revival’s authenticity• Why dependence on God increases when revival is real Dr. Brent also explains what Jonathan Edwards warned us not to use as proof of revival — including emotional reactions, physical manifestations, visions, or dramatic experiences. The conversation then shifts to modern revival culture, including: Why some revival movements resemble entertainment more than encounter• What it means to host heaven instead of hosting speakers• Why God’s presence matters more than church programs• How 1 Samuel 19 demonstrates true revival through God’s sovereign activity• Why authentic revival makes hype unnecessary Finally, Dr. Brent leaves listeners with one powerful question every Christian should ask when encountering any spiritual movement. This episode is not about criticizing revival — it’s about protecting it. If you care about awakening, holiness, discernment, and genuine moves of God, this conversation is essential. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Brent ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent:💬 All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson🌐 BrentSimpson.com🏡 MyAriseChurch.com | 32m 22s | ||||||
| 1/8/26 | ![]() Great Awakenings Pt. 1: Reawakening The Holy Wonder | In this powerful and timely conversation, Pastor Pete Kramer sits down with Dr. Brent Simpson for a wide-ranging discussion on awakening, wonder, revival, and what God is stirring in the Church right now. Using Arise Church’s annual “State of the Church” message as a backdrop, this episode moves beyond numbers and momentum into the deeper question of spiritual awakening—both personal and corporate. Dr. Brent reflects on salvations, baptisms, miracles, missions, and why awakening always begins within before it ever transforms a church, a city, or a nation. This episode is both pastoral and prophetic, calling listeners to move from form to fire, from routine to wonder, and from spiritual dryness into renewed hunger for God. 🔥 What’s Covered in This Episode Why the annual “State of the Church” matters more than statistics—it reveals spiritual health, not just growth• What stands out most from a year marked by salvations, baptisms, healings, deliverances, and global missions• Why so many Christians lose their sense of awe—and how wonder can be restored• The difference between renewal, revival, and awakening—and why the order matters• How the First Great Awakening was a rediscovery of the Holy Spirit and why that was revolutionary• The cultural, spiritual, and generational signs pointing toward another awakening• Why God is leading Arise Church into a season of fasting and revival now• What it really means to have “a form of godliness but deny its power”• The first step for someone who feels spiritually dry but deeply hungry• Why David’s prayer, “I will awaken the dawn,” is the right cry for this moment• A direct word to listeners who sense God stirring their hearts right now 🙌 Key Takeaway Great awakenings don’t start in crowds—they start in hearts.Before God awakens a church, He awakens a people.Before He awakens a people, He awakens you. 🎯 Call to Action If you feel hunger stirring, don’t silence it.Lean in. Create space. Awaken the dawn in your own soul. Join us in prayer, fasting, and expectation—and watch what God does next. 🔗 Connect with Dr. Brent ✨ All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpson🌐 Website: BrentSimpson.com🏡 Church: MyAriseChurch.com | 35m 37s | ||||||

This conversation goes beyond theory and into wisdom—what fasting really is, why Jesus practiced it, why He expected His followers to fast, and how to approach fasting in a healthy, biblical, and grace-filled way.

Today I sit down with Pastor Ken McAnulty, Executive Pastor of Arise Church, for one of the most practical and needed conversations in the church today… What Should Modern Christians Think About Tithing? Tithing is one of the most misunderstood topics in modern Christianity. Some people feel guilty. Some feel confused. Some feel pressured. Others want to honor God but aren’t sure what it really looks like. This episode cuts through the confusion and gives you clarity, confidence, and a biblical foundation for honoring God with your finances. We walk through the 10 biggest questions people ask about tithing, including:• Is tithing still required for Christians today?• Does it have to be 10%? Does regular giving count as a tithe?• Should I tithe on gross or net? What about bonuses or tax returns?• Who should tithe? Should pastors tithe? Should teens tithe?• Where should my tithe go—my local church or anywhere I feel led?• What if I’m in debt or feel like I can’t afford to tithe?• Does God really bless tithers? Am I cursed if I don’t tithe?• What if I tithe but don’t see financial blessing?• What if my spouse doesn’t want to tithe?• Does giving time or talent count as tithing?• And… can I automate my tithe or is that less spiritual? Pastor Ken brings pastoral wisdom, biblical truth, and decades of real-life ministry experience to help you understand God’s heart behind generosity. Whether you're new to tithing, wrestling with questions, or wanting to grow in your faith, this episode will help you move forward with peace and purpose. ✨ If this conversation blessed you, don’t forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE.It helps the message reach more people just like you. ✨ Connect with Dr. Brent:All Social Media: @DrBrentSimpsonBrentSimpson.comMyAriseChurch.com 🎙️ Listen to the Audio Podcast:https://creatingthefuture.podbean.com/ | 28m 57s | ||||||
