Zoe Code Podcast With Mike Q. Daniel

Mike Daniel discusses Isaiah 40:26-31 including how you can entrust yourself to God as the source of your life only if you believe He knows better, He loves you and He is able; how God designed you to rest as you soar like an eagle in the wind of His Spirit instead of flapping around trying and failing to be your own source; and how waiting on God means being attentive and anticipating what God is going to do in your life that you are unable to do yourself.

Mike Daniel continues his discussion of God's clear instruction of what spiritual battle is and isn't; how it is critical to know what we are fighting, what we are fighting for, and what we are fighting with in the spiritual battles of our day-to-day lives; and how the GREAT news is that freedom and victory are already ours!

Mike Daniel continues his discussion of what does it look like being the right person in the right place with the right purpose in the context of the workplace. Based on God’s revealed character, when we choose to submit our agenda to His agenda, He can bring about what He wants in our life which is a greater experience of Who He is in us and through us and He can use us for His purposes in the lives of others.

Mike Daniel discusses being God’s person for God’s purpose, including the truth that in every situation, there is always an opportunity, there is always a choice, there is always a source and there is always fruit from that choice whether it’s walking in the Spirit bringing life and peace or walking in the flesh bringing sin--meaning self-focused, self-sourced living--which leads to death.

Mike Daniel discusses how our awe and reverence of Christ enables us to submit to one another in marriage, including how wives are recipients not achievers of the direction of their household and can encourage their husbands in leadership and how husbands, through their trust of God, can lead sacrificially in the best interest of their wives.

Mike Daniel discusses Living as Christ Lives, including how to live loved and live loving; receiving and revealing His nature; unwavering from truth and participating only in truth; getting lit to be light; how focusing on Christ controls us and changes our experience of His life and being filled by Him allows us to overflow from His Life to others.

In part 2, Mike Daniel continues his discussion of Eph. 3:22-32 including the last two of the four Landmarks in our Christ as Life Map and how you can use these to determine whether you are walking in the flesh or in Christ’s life.

Mike Daniel discusses Eph. 3:22-32 and how trying to get our needs met from others or circumstances results in death because Jesus Christ is your life and He’s perfect. His discussion includes the first two of four Landmarks in our Christ as Life Map and how you can use these to determine whether you are walking in the flesh or in Christ’s life. The discussion is continued in Part 2.

Mike Daniel discusses the biggest obstacle to our to living out all we have by grace in Jesus, and how we can walk in--and not miss--all the Life of God in our circumstances, including how our pursuit of God to become the means by which we try to get our needs met by those things from the world deprives us of all that God has for us as the source of our lives.

Mike Daniel discusses living from your your true identity in Christ as set out in Col 3:1-4, including what it means to be raised and seated with Christ; how your being in Christ gives you His life so what’s true of Him by merit is true of you by grace; how an identity crisis is always a crisis of belief; and how if you trust God enough to make the decisions for your life, He will cause things in your life that are of greater value to you than what you want from him.

Mike Daniel discusses "God's New Math,” including what it means to truly have unity; what He is working on in the Church today, what your role and personal fulfillment is in that plan, and how you can’t be in any greater unity with Christ than you are in unity with everyone else that Christ is in unity with.

Mike Daniel discusses when our problem isn’t “The problem,” including how God wants your faith to increase so His power increases; how faith is how we work out what God has already worked in not how we work for him; how Your capacity to trust him will increase as he proves who he is in circumstances that are greater than you can manage; how faith is not what you do for God, but what you let him do in and through you; and how the real problem is not knowing the extent of God’s love for you and that you can admit that to God and pray for Him to increase your capacity to receive His love.

Mike Daniel discussion of freedom includes how you are free either to choose to submit yourself to Christ as your source of life or to be your own source which is death; how the grace that God has for you isn’t just for you alone but for others and how you are free to be yourself in Christ but there is no freedom apart from Him.

Mike Daniel and Darrel Lindsey discuss the question “What do you do to make a church more missional?” Church leaders can’t make their congregations more externally focused, but as people become convinced of all they have in Him and become more Christ-centered, they will be more responsive to all Christ wants to do in and through them. As they become more focused on Jesus and grow in dependence and live from him, then they are available to reach out to others.

Jesus isn't just our peace with God, but with one another. Mike tells us how we can have that peace with one another because others are no longer our source.

Through his examination of six scripture verses, Mike Daniel discusses the reality of God as our true heavenly father figure, and how God, and not our earthly fathers, should define fatherhood for us. His discussion includes the truth that God, Who gave us His Son, is not withholding anything from us; that our Heavenly Father gives good and perfect gifts but we lack confidence that what we’re getting is all that we really need and that what He wants for us is better than what we want from Him; that God is our only true Father and if our earthly fathers are believers then they are just our brothers in Christ; and that God defines Himself by His fatherhood to us, His chosen and adopted children through Christ.

Mike Daniel discusses Ephesians 2:1-10, including how the biggest problem for a believer is not knowing how alive he or she is in Christ; how as believers we can have compassion and love in Christ for unbelievers understanding they are dead in their sins and are trying to live a life set up by Satan who wants to destroy them (where we formerly walked); how salvation is the grace sufficiency of God in you, the togetherness with Christ being brought to life—you in Him and He in you; and how God brought us to life with Christ so that by His love-bearing mercy He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Mike Daniel discusses Ephesians 1:18-23, including how you have the same relationship with the Father that Christ has as a recipient of His power, life, identity and hope; how God wants you to come to an experiential knowledge of who Christ is in you so that you can know who you are in Christ; how your problem is not what you are lacking but what you don’t believe is yours; and how God has designed your circumstances to bring you into dependence on Him so His life toward you will be enough and He will be glorified.

Mike Daniel discusses Ephesians 1:15-17, including how the fruit of the Spirit in your life causes people to glorify, praise and thank God; how you can know all you already have in Christ; and how revelation is something that God shows you and knowledge is something you gain by experience.
