Kansas City Dream Center & KC City Serve with Brian Hughes
Have you heard of Kansas City Dream Center and City Serve KC? In this episode, we learn from Brian Hughes about these two incredible organizations and how they are making a difference in our community.
The Kansas City Dream Center, a part of the Dream Center Network, is a faith-based community outreach nonprofit. Bryan shares their mission of building intentional, long-lasting relationships that transform lives and create new beginnings. They focus on addressing homelessness, food insecurity, and the needs of the community while also sharing the Gospel message.
City Serve KC, on the other hand, works closely with logistics and transportation, sorting and distributing goods donated by companies like Amazon, Costco, and Walmart. They partner with local churches and faith-based nonprofits to share these items while equipping them to share the Gospel effectively.

The Biblical Significance of Business and the Performance of Rest #kansascity #kingdombusiness
Business in the Bible!
During our prayer meeting in September, one topic that came up was the significance of the marketplace or the workplace in the Bible. Scott mentioned that during one of his spiritual retreats, he sought clarity on whether there was legitimacy in a calling in the marketplace. He was led to various passages in the Bible, including Exodus, where Moses commissioned Bezalel to fabricate items for the tabernacle. This was the first recorded instance in Scripture of a person being filled with the Holy Spirit, and it highlighted the importance of craftsmanship and work.
Scott also delved into the Hebrew word "avodah," which is used interchangeably in the Old Testament for work, worship, and service. This reveals that our work can be an act of worship unto the Lord. Worship isn't limited to church services; it extends to our daily vocations, whether we're craftsmen, accountants, salespeople, leaders, marketers, or any other profession. All of these can be done unto the Lord as an act of worship.
Scott then shared other key references from the New Testament, such as Jesus' first recorded words about being about His Father's business and the story of Stephen, the first martyr, who was appointed over a business-related task. These examples validate the legitimacy of a calling in the workplace.
Business Insights:
Another important topic discussed during our prayer meeting was the concept of rest. Scott mentioned a book by Andy Mason titled "God with You at Work," which emphasized the performance of rest. The idea is to cease from striving and selfish ambition, entering God's rest even while working. This type of rest leads to increased creativity, reduced conflict, and less anxiety.
10 Day Retreat:
Scott also touched upon his recent 10-day spiritual retreat. He shared that the first revelation was about returning to our first love, based on Revelation 2:4. The Church of Ephesus had done many good things, but had lost its first love for Christ. This highlights the importance of maintaining intimacy with Jesus as a hallmark of our faith.
Additionally, Scott discussed the concept of the "fifth column" that he learned about during his retreat. In history, a fifth column referred to infiltrators sympathetic to a cause who were inside a city or organization. Scott related this to the church, suggesting that we should be mindful of what has infiltrated the church, especially in turbulent times. God will start cleaning up His house before addressing external issues.

When is it the right time to sell the local kingdom businesses of God?
In this episode Steve and I discussed the purposes of God’s kingdom business and asked relevant questions to bring this subject to light.
Topics
- Should businesses be considered ATM’s for ministries?
- What do kingdoms and businesses have in common?
- What should I consider when I sell my kingdom business?
- Local business owned by a foreign entity… what happens to all the profit?
- Owning foreign businesses, the kingdom way
- How much are God’s business ideas worth?
- Why are we both kings and priest. (Understanding the unique roles both these titles play)
Hint: People and Cities
- Why are you in business in the first place?

United in Crisis with Daniel Geraci #crisis #christian #helpingothers
United in Crisis!
Coming Soon to a city near you.
For so many years America has turned to the government in a time of crisis such as large storm damage, fires, flooding or even mounting homelessness. Fourteen years ago, God gave Daniel Geraci a model to, train for, bring together, and then mobilize local churches in times of crisis. With this model Daniel started Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN).
Over the past 14 years, through collecting the information of those in need ADRN has been able to bring together both Church, Government, and other agency’s to quickly identify key problems and facilitate large scale efforts to assist all aspects of people and communities in need both practically, emotionally and spiritually.
• Emotionally
• Spiritually
• Practically
After 14 years with a proven model and helping assist 22 other cities to do the same, Daniel has launched United in Crisis going nationwide with this empowering approach and mission for God’s church. Through crisis we are given the compelling opportunity to come together and make the love of Jesus and his body mean something to those in need.

In this episode Steve and I discuss the implications of this promise which was reiterated over and over by Jesus himself.
- Ask and you shall receive.
- Seek and you shall find.
- Knock and the door shall be open to you.
If this is true… many are living out their lives far short of this great potential.
Some questions:
- Do your prayers excite God and call forth impossibilities?
- Is your aka humility… getting in the way of all that God has planned for you?
- Have we lost what we once understood about Faith, what does history have to say about where we are now?
- Is your thinking getting in the way of your kingdom potential?
