The Call | Inwardly Drawn vs. Outwardly Pulled

Last updated on: June 27, 2025 at 11:51 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

In my view there’s a difference between an outward pull to something vs. being inwardly drawn to something. With the first there’s a sense of urgency as if the thing can’t wait for you to engage. With the second there’s a more natural exchange altogether, even a peaceful exchange. For example, there is a lot to something like a calling, but we want to end up engaging in a calling we are inwardly drawn to. It is not coercing me,... Read more

Being Real vs. Hyper-Spiritual Jargon

Last updated on: June 7, 2025 at 4:33 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Just be real… You don’t reach the lost by denying the truth. I don’t really like the phrase: “if you’re too heavenly minded then you’re of no earthly good.” I understand the sentiment of it, but it really couldn’t be further from the truth. Everything I do, think, and see is through a biblical worldview, so of course, I’m thinking about things above. I’m ALSO really thinking about earthly good. I’m thinking about how I can impact the people around... Read more

A Preliminary Look at “Suddenly” in the Hebrew Bible

Last updated on: May 3, 2025 at 1:47 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

“‘Suddenly’ keeps sounding off in my spirit… I DECLARE YOUR SUDDENLY IS ARRIVING! In the name of Jesus” – Paula White-Cain, X social network, 05.01.25 It’s commonplace to have some people who influence you. There are always people whose voices seem to rise above the crowd. I have no idea why, because I don’t normally listen to preachers like her, but I track with Paula White-Cain CLICK So I did a preliminary look at the word suddenly as it occurs in... Read more

The Business of Doing New Things

Last updated on: April 15, 2025 at 5:47 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

He is in the business of doing new things. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5.17 This verse was impressed on my heart the night my second born gave his heart to Jesus. He was at a young age but he understood the Gospel. He just hadn’t committed his life yet. On a Sunday night at service he said, “This is... Read more
