For some reason, the day I planned to record my most recent video message to serve others was in the midst of a heavy snowfall. I wrestled with changing the day for recording, but settled on sticking with it because it related to an important part of my message on prayer.
In this 59 second message, hear how you might be able to revitalize your prayers by occasionally changing your context for prayer. It’s a small change that might make a big difference.
If it’s helpful, let me know your thoughts in the YouTube comments section. And definitely share it with others if you think it’s helpful.
As always if I can in any way support you in prayer. Feel free to connects in the comments section. or message me through this link: https://joshsamuel.com/contact.

A number of years ago, an elder at my church gave me some advice on prayer. He shared it with me just as I was about to go to Bible College to train for Christian ministry. It's something that has been crucial in my formation as a Christian and how I pray. Hope his advice here for me, can be helpful for you too.

Quite a lot of us have bought into the idea that we need to be big shots to make a big difference for the kingdom of God. This mentality has influenced the rise of celebrity Christian leadership culture, and the damaging effects when celebrity Christian leaders fall into scandal. In this message, Dr. Josh P. S. Samuel shares a message he preached at a local church entitled, "You Don't Have to be a Big Shot, to Make a Big Difference," based on Mark 12:38-44.

If we want to better understand the Christian identity, it’s important to understand the history of the Church. For this episode, we tackle various themes related to the charismatic gifts, healing, and the “non-Western” stories in Church history.

He has published in Early Church History, the History of the Canadian Church, particularly, Pentecostalism, and most recently in Early Christianity in China.

One of the biggest questions we often ask ourselves is our purpose for life. And if there is a God, does God have a purpose or will for my life? How to navigate those questions can be difficult. In this episode of Theology Breakdown, Dr. Josh P. S. Samuel offers 8 ways you can better discern God's will for your life.
I got to give credit to some sources that have especially made me think deeply about this topic:
1) H. Norman Wright wrote a book called "Finding the Right One for You: Secrets to Recognizing Your Perfect Mate," with insights that have influenced my approach here. To get the book:
In the U.S.: https://amzn.to/3xita1a
In Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/Finding-Right-One-You-Recognizing/dp/0736921435/
2) I took a number of courses with an excellent professor named Dr. Scott Bullerwell at Master's College and Seminary (then known as Eastern Pentecostal Bible College). He taught me about some of these issues that are reflected in my approach here.
3) I refer to providence, as it relates to Esther, which comes from Karen Jobes's commentary on Esther:

I often got stressed over grades, especially during my undergraduate studies in theology. But over time I realised I was taking the wrong approach to studies and work. It was a simple but profound adjustment for me, that made a massive difference and helped me gain a better approach to study and work. Check out this short episode. It's actually a message I created for my students at Master's College and Seminary, but thought it might be helpful for others as well. So here it is. Tell me your thoughts on this - could this help you? What other approaches have you learned in the way you study and work that could help others? Feel free to share your perspective in the comments on the YouTube video version if you like here: https://youtu.be/TkHCJInucp0.
