Mike Q. Daniel LIVE!

Happy Wednesday! Welcome to Ep. 1023 - Our Eternal Shepherd!  Does God actually know you?  Not know of you.  Know you — by name, as a specific person He is specifically attending to?  The answer might not be what you’ve expected.

Welcome to Ep.#1022 — “The Backup Plan! “  You didn’t plan to stumble and cope.  You didn’t sit down and decide this sin was a good idea.  But before you even made a conscious choice, it seemed you were already reaching toward it, again.  What if the problem isn’t your willpower?  What if it isn’t even your behavior?  The answer might not be what you’ve been taught.

Welcome to Ep. 1021 — Rubbish!  You’ve been doing all the right things.  Showing up.  Staying faithful.  Building something for God.  And underneath all of it, there’s a quiet accounting that never quite closes.  A low-grade pressure that sometimes feels less like calling and more like unbelief.  You don’t feel like a failure.  You feel like a project - the proverbial “work in progress”.  And the project is exhausting.  What if the very things we are most proud of - the faithfulness, the track record, the righteous-looking and dutiful version of ourselves - what’s exhausting?  Actually an obstacle?  And if so, what do we do?  The answer might not be what you’ve been taught.

Welcome to Ep. #1020 - “The Wisdom of The Inside-Out Life”!  You’re tired.  Not lazy-tired.  Not I-need-a-vacation tired (or not Just that!).  You’re tired in the way that only happens when you’ve been carrying the weight of parenting, of showing up at work, of being a spouse, a caregiver, a friend, a functioning human being in a world that never stops demanding.   And on top of all of that, you want to do right by God.  You want to serve Him, follow Him, show up for Him - and somewhere in the middle of wanting all of that, you hit a wall.  A quiet, honest, terrifying wall.  Maybe you can push through it.  Maybe you’ve been pushing through it for years.  But what if the wall isn’t a failure of your effort - what if it’s an invitation to divine intimacy?  The answer might not be what you’ve been taught or expect.

Welcome to Ep. 1019 — "Divine Supply Meeting Demand!" What does God actually want from you when you have a demand you cannot meet?  You’ve felt it.  The standard rises, your adequacy seems to shrink, and somewhere in the gap a quiet voice starts talking.  You’re not enough.  You never were.  So why pretend?  The effort to be less fallible fails us more.  What should we do?  What does God expect?  The answer might not be what you’ve been taught.

Good morning Grace Tribe! Welcome to Ep. #1018 - “Settling Into Perfect” -  Maybe you’ve heard the rumor you’ve been made perfect - is that figurative?  Is God overlooking the real you?  Is He happily pretending because of grace?  Are you supposed to live up to what Christ is living in?

Good Morning and Welcome to Ep. 1017 - “Un-Indebted: The Practical Reality of Forgiveness”!  Does forgiveness seem impractical?  Is it unrealistic to forgive what someone has cost you in value or security or expected role?  When people fail you, how do you afford forgiveness?  Grab your coffee and let’s drink fully of the grace of God in one of the most challenging and unbalanced areas of the Christian life.  This could really be transformational for so many! Who might you share it with today?

Welcome to Ep. #1016 — “The Door, Not the Room”!  Friends - We often trip over our feelings and failures, instead of recognizing them as the door to grace and the revelation of an entirely different identity.  Join Mike on the show today with the Grace tribe as he shares an encounter with a literary Titan that opened his eyes to the identity crisis of receiving true Grace.  And discover a hint of what it means to accept the Divine invitation to reel intimacy. 

Good morning, Saints! Welcome to Ep. #1015 - You, Perfected?” What if you’re not God‘s fixer upper?  As much as we talk about who we are in Christ and how he works in our life, the work of the enemy and the program of the world and our own self perception still create a false Trippe cord for daily living, don’t they?

Good MORNING, Grace Tribe! Welcome to Ep. #1014 - “Christ Life Q&A - there is so much evil in the world - is Satan winning?”   Beautiful question about wanting good and seeing evil, and Satan seems to be winning in his role on the Earth and everywhere and doing things with such power, surely he’s God’s nemesis, right? I love the heart of the question in the hope of this answer! 

Welcome to Ep. #1011 - “Christ Life Q&A on Mike Q. Daniel LIVE!”  Sheri sent in a question about two verses that show up constantly in sermons about mortality, judgment, and accountability — and what preachers say they mean for how you’re supposed to be living right now.  It’s a question worth sitting with. And it deserves a real answer. So - Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s look to Christ together, Tune in!

Good morning Grace Tribe!   Ep. #1009 - “Abba's Intrinsic Love”  Question: is God figuring out how he feels about you?  Are you wooing and repelling His love? 

Welcome to Ep. 1008 - “Living God Led?”  Happy Monday, beloved, empowered, Spirit-walking children of God!  What if you’re not missing God’s voice?  We been trained to listen for the external voice from afar, invading our thoughts and interrupting the flow of daily life, but what if you’re not actually missing his voice because he’s not speaking often as an outsider demanding attention?

Good morning Grace Tribe!! Welcome to Ep. #1005 - “Why God Won't Give You a Neon Sign” | Subpoenaing Heaven (Part 2) We stand firmly on God’s dirt, fill our lungs with His air, operate entirely within His laws of physics, and then look up at a quiet sky and scream, “If You’re real, give me a sign!” When people look at the vast mystery of the cosmos, the verdict is often swift: “If God actually wanted my allegiance, He would speak up. The silence is proof of His absence.” It sounds so academically courageous.  It sounds like a deeply honest, objective requirement for more data.  But what if the demand for empirical proof isn’t actually a search for the truth?  What if the complaint about a "silent God" is just a brilliant alibi? In Part 2 of our series Subpoenaing Heaven, we are putting the world's demand for physical evidence on the witness stand.  If you’ve ever felt pressured to become an amateur scientific apologist when a friend, coworker, or family member demands a burning bush to believe, this episode will completely re-frame the debate.  You’ll walk away equipped to see what’s really hiding behind their demand for a neon sign, free from the pressure to "prove" heaven is real, and anchored deeper into the unshakeable intimacy of your New Covenant identity.

Good morning Grace Tribe!!  Welcome to Ep. #1004 - “The Real Reason the World Puts God on Trial” | Subpoenaing Heaven (Part 1) ~  Mike Q. Daniel LIVE! Life often feels like a car crash in slow motion.  And when the world looks at the wreckage, a very specific verdict usually forms: “If God is real, He’s unjust.  And if He’s unjust, I want nothing to do with Him.” It sounds like moral clarity.  It sounds like defending goodness.  But what if that objection isn’t actually a question at all?  What if it’s more like an exit strategy? In Part 1 of our new series Subpoenaing Heaven, we are looking at the real motive behind the culture's biggest objection to the Gospel.  If you’ve ever felt intimidated or knocked off balance when a coworker, neighbor, or family member throws the "unjust God" excuse at you, this episode will completely re-frame the conversation.  You’ll walk away equipped to see through the smokescreen, free from the pressure to "defend" God, and anchored deeper into your unshakeable New Covenant identity in Christ.

Welcome to:  Episode #1003 - “Settling in to Source” Thursday.  Before the arrests, before the betrayals, before the false accusations, before the bitter herbs and sweet wine and broken bread, Jesus entered into a day where He had to have it all together.  A lot was on the line.  Let’s pour the coffee and drink deeply of God’s grace as we look at the day we honor today and lean into the weekend ahead lauding the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - and you with Him.  And like Him, we get to know some things going into this day and all that is ahead. 

Good morning Grace tribe!  Relationships can be messy, volatile, swinging, highs, and lows, feeling close and far.  Whether a dad who is gruff or romances that grow cold, we associate relationships with emotional swings and ambiguity of terms.  And yet this is what God calls us to in Christ?!  This leads us with a bit of a problem, so today, in Ep. #1002 - “The Fuzzy Relationship Problem”, we’re going to see the truth of the relational economy of life in Christ, and clear out some of the cobwebs about what we mean by relationship and how understanding our relationship with God through Christ changes absolutely everything.

Weee’re Baaack! Good morning Grace Tribe!  Happy Tuesday, friends.  And welcome to Ep. #1001 - “The Cross, the Gospel, the Truth”.  What do we mean when we say “the gospel“ and why is that getting softer and wider and more diluted it seems with time?  Where the guard rails for protecting the truth, not just in our life, but in our family and culture? 

Good Morning Grace Tribe!  Can you BELIEVE it's our 1000th Episode!!  Wow - praise God!  Welcome to Ep. 1000 - "One Way to Live"!   We are discussing the reasons we get overwhelmed while in the fullness and love and empowerment of God's grace and Christ AS our Life!  We are broadcasting LIVE from Boerne Texas with a group of saints gathered in person to join GT1K Event for the weekend! 

 Ep. #998 - “Discovering the Truth We Know”!  It is a wonderful day to enjoy Christ in us together!  Good morning and happy Tuesday!  We had a brilliant question from Sara we’re going to answer about how we know for ourselves what we know to be true?  When and how does life in Christ become experiential for the believer?
