Summary: This lesson is the first session of the six-part video series: Experiencing and Recovery from Spiritual Abuse available in the course catalog by that name. This lesson examines the word translated as authority (exousia) in reference to leaders or believers having “authority over” one another in some way. Common proof texts used to justify believers “ruling over one another” are deconstructed as illegitimate interpretations and applications of the Biblical text. Jesus said the Gentiles rule over one another and it should not be so in the church. Well, how then does “authority” work in the church?

Summary:

This book examines different authority teachings and practices in the body of Christ, particularly those common in the New Apostolic Reformation Movement. "Leadership" teachings regarding government, ruling, honor, authority, loyalty, sonship, submission, "covering," "a culture of honor," etc. are frequently heard in the days in which we live.  Many who simply ask an honest question of leadership are often accused of "having a problem with authority" or "you are just wounded" or being of a "Jezebel spirit." This book examines these themes for biblical accuracy from a new covenant and Christ-centered perspective. It provides illumination and solutions for healthy relationships in a new covenant community of grace.  For more free resources and articles:

Summary: Prayer and intercession (along with praise and worship) have become a cottage industry within large segments of Evangelical and Charismatic brands of Christianity. Prayer and intercession can so easily be leveraged to create guilt, striving, and performance-driven behaviors in believers. Something that should be as natural as one's breath between a loving Father and a child, often gets so very distorted. Prayer and intercession can also be a platform to create an elitist class of alleged intercessory specialists. People take their sense of identity and personhood from a reputation as an alleged prophetic prayer warrior, just like many take their sense of identity from being a pastor (or any other traditional ministry expression for that matter). Why do so many believers take their prayer life model from Old Testament characters when we have been brought into something infinitely more wonderful than they could have imagined? In this seven-session audio  I take a look at prayer and intercession from a new creation, New Covenant perspective. What does the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and the indwelling Spirit in union with our spirit do to our understanding and expression of intercessory prayer?

It changes everything.

Summary:

Eleven, thirty-minute video sessions covering topics like: What about submission to authority? What do we do for our children? What about praise and worship? How do we Evangelism? What about authoritative teaching? Oh, and what about money and giving? These topics and more are covered and designed to help believers navigate:

• shifts in their theology and practices, changes in their inner world of thought, heart, and spirit
• and relationships with others during a transition away from, and out of, hierarchical expressions of organized Christian religion.

Josh Packard has cited a statistic that around the world 65,000,000 people have left, or are considering leaving, institutional expressions of Christianity. These people are sometimes identified as the “nones and dones” – they are done with church, but not necessarily done with Jesus and the Body of Christ. Much of what people have been exposed to calling itself Christianity bears no resemblance to the teachings, ethics, and life of Jesus Christ recorded for us in scripture

Summary: Love . . . agape . . .  It is so easy to talk about it cheaply, and so much harder to live it out in reality. Jesus talked plainly about the highest love being one that lays down one's life for others. This can be done in myriad ways and depths. In this one-hour audio lesson, I share three inspiring and challenging true-to-life stories of what incarnate love looks liked when actually lived out rather than philosophized about.

Summary:

1. The Bible speaks of nine possible different versions of hell. Most people think there is just one.   You will learn about all nine and why and how the doctrine has gotten so messed up over time.
2. You will learn about Jewish and ancient burial practices, and the values associated with death, and what was important to them and how it affected the emergence of a doctrine of hell.
   1. The concept of hell was not a consistently defined or static idea in Jewish theological thought. It was very fluid.
3. You will learn about to what Jesus was referring when he spoke of “Ge-hinnom” and what it meant to Him and His hearers.
4. You will learn about the historical development of the doctrine in pagan thought, in Jewish history, up to and past the Christian era.
5. You will learn about the conflict between different streams of thought about hell in the early church. There was never a consensus on the topic of hell.
6. You will learn about the three different types of “God’s justice” of which the Bible speaks (yes, there are three), and how they relate to, and affect, the doctrine of hell.
7. You will learn about Augustine’s vast influence upon all of western Christianity (mostly negative, in my opinion) including on today’s popular concept of hell, the lake of fire, etc.

Summary:

It has been my experience (within Protestantism) that for many the Eucharist is a meaningless ritual. It is often done in a perfunctory way out of sheer obedience, if at all. Teaching, if there is any, can be pretty stale. Rehashing familiar views of the relevant Scriptures and debating 16^th century metaphysical arguments is normal fare.  Over the years when I pastored traditionally, we tried different things to bring more a meaningful experience to folks. There were occasionally moments of wonder, but generally it was a wholly dissatisfying experience.  What has it been like for you?  What if there is more to it than many of us have been taught in our traditions? This seminar is designed to provoke primarily those from Protestant backgrounds to reconsider some things regarding the Eucharist, communion, or the so-called “Lord’s Supper.” The sessions include:

Session One: Jesus the Authentic Human
Session Two: The Logos
Session Three: In Adam, In Christ - Part One
Session Four: In Adam, In Christ - Part Two
Session Five: Our Union

Summary: The Church of the Lord should be a haven of love, authenticity, safety, and health for hungry souls. The sad reality is that many individuals have experienced nothing like that. What’s worse is that many have experienced deeply damaging spiritual abuse. Sometimes people never emotionally, psychologically and spiritually recover from what they experience in “church.”

Authoritarian, manipulative, domineering, and controlling expressions of leadership do great harm to God’s people and betray the Name of the Lord. In this six-part video series, we examine many common teachings—particularly those common in Charismatic/Pentecostal and non-denominational environments-- regarding “submission to authority,” “spiritual covering,” etc.

We demonstrate the misuse of biblical proof-texts to control people.  We offer a new covenant and grace-based alternative to the sensitive subject of authority and submission. It is neither authoritarian on the one hand, nor just a reactionary reflection of cultural values of individuality and independence.

Summary:

Accurate thought expressed inaccurately has consequences. That which is intended for good ends up causing harm.  The concept of spiritual fathers and sons fits the above categorization. It’s a legitimate biblical concept and it has associated benefits and risks. The problem is not in the belief per se. It’s in the expression. The father-son ministry paradigm has very specific, biblically designed-for-life, boundaries of expression that are routinely violated by the well meaning misinformed, the unhealed insecure, and propagandists with a personal agenda.  This booklet examines thirteen areas in which the father-son ministry paradigm is being implemented poorly, exceeding legitimate biblical boundaries, or careening into falsehood and abuse as well as some unique elements of the relationship between apostles and prophets that intersect the father-son ministry issue.

Summary:

The idea that our bodies can be physically healed through the exercise of spiritual gifts is controversial within the church. Some believe that God “doesn’t do miracles any more,” as the so-called sign-gifts are believed to have ceased in the apostolic era. Others, particularly the televangelists, manipulate people through shameful practices rooted in the love of money and fame. Hype abounds. In this book, Dr. Stephen Crosby presents a biblical, Christ-centered, reasonable, and redemptive alternative to either extreme. Understanding the Scripture’s Semitic (non-Western) worldview of community, disease, sickness, and health, is key to the effective appropriation of physical healing.  Dr. Crosby’s incisive and candid analysis cuts through the popular culture hype, and presents a compassionate God who is, and will always be, our Healer.

This audio series redefines many of the common terms used in Protestant Evangelicalism regarding the Gospel and Gospel basics, along Semitic/Jewish worldview and understanding. It is common for Westerners to approach the Gospel judicially like criminals and lawyers. This series presents and alternative way of understanding the gospel: relationally and covenantally. How we define humanity's problem will determine how we define God's cure.

Summary: In this six-hour video series I take an overview look at my book, How New is the New Covenant? Jesus is Lord.  There is a spectrum of thought on this important question from “not very new” (as in just an upgrade/correction to Moses/Torah), to radically new (so new that even Jesus’s own ethical teaching allegedly do not apply to believers today, as supposedly being part of the pre-new covenant era).  Serious matters indeed.  This course looks at the implications of “Jesus is Lord” on: the Ekklesia (Church), Moses/Torah, Rome, the Scriptures, and Jewish Roots Movement restorationism.

Summary:

The New Covenant is radically different than the old, and those differences are often not well understood. Some would have us believe that Jesus came just to make some minor adjustments in understanding of the Old Covenant, and that the New Covenant is just a renewal of the Old Covenant with Israel. Others think that any ethics that Jesus taught prior to Pentecost do not apply to believers today. This books examines the implications of "Jesus is Lord" on the foundation of the New 
Covenant. This book examines the  implications of "Jesus is Lord" upon the church, Second Temple Judaism, Rome/Caesar, the Scriptures, Paul and Torah, and so-called Jewish Roots or Jewish Restorationism Movement that is widespread in the church today. This is written at an intermediate reading level. It is not high scholastic, but neither is it a light devotional read. Jesus is Lord had profound and radical implications on the culture, society, theology and politics of the day in which Christ and the apostles lived. If we do not understand how radical it was in their day, it is unlikely we will understand its radical implications on us today.

Summary:

Why did Jesus use His spit in the mud to heal a blind man? Why did Jesus withhold His true intentions to His family about going up to the feast in John 7? Why did Jesus offensively insult people on a regular basis? Why does the scripture say that God “hated” Esau? These are but a few examples of the many things in the Gospels and the New Testament that are difficult, if not impossible, for us to understand if we do not understand the cultural context and values at the time of Christ. In this  seminar we will look at cultural rules governing social interactions, first-century commerce, economics, politics, Semitic cosmology, beliefs about healing, health and miracles, and much more.

If we do not understand the differences in culture, conditions, and worldview assumptions between ourselves and first century Jews living in a Greek culture under Roman law, we will inevitably project our own worldview onto the scriptures. In so doing, we will have no chance of accurately understanding what was written, misinterpret the scriptures, and misrepresent Christ to ourselves and others. Following Jesus as  disciple is so simple, a six-year old can do it. Understanding the scriptures–letters and books written to a different people, in  different time, with a different culture, with different values, and a different language– is not as simple.

Summary:

Jesus said: "If you have seen me, you have seen the Father." The apostle presented Jesus as the exact image of the invisible God. If you are wondering what God is like, look at Jesus, particularly His Cross and resurrection. In this first episode, Brad Jersak, Michael Hardin, Bryon Wiebold, Mary Crews, Michael Rose, Mark Drake, Darrin Hufford, and myself talk about the importance of having a correct God image--that being Jesus as the Exact Representation of God as the foundation of new creation living.

Summary:

Is the essence of the Gospel, the good news, that we are merely acquitted criminals living on parole (justified?), or are we sons and daughters who have been invited into the Trinitarian life of God? The gospel of Jesus Christ in the power of the New Covenant and the Indwelling Spirit, is the end of relational alienation to a distant and emotionally remote "father." The good news is better news than we can imagine.

Coming May 1, 2020. We recommend watching Parts One and Two of this series for continuity of thought: 1) A correct God image, 2) Understanding the indwelling Christ both lead logically to this: How do we live together as a community?

Summary:

This 7-hour video seminar presents the New Covenant biblical foundations for a marriage relationship that is not based in patriarchy,  hierarchy, and authority. And this is not just for married people! Four of the seven sessions deal with practical issues of conflict resolution in any human interpersonal relationship: marriage, job, church, work, school, etc.  Some statistics indicate that the marriages of professing believers end in divorce as often, if not more so, than non-believers. Some statistics also indicate that between 70-80% of the children raised in Christian families, after they reach 21 years of age will never participate in a faith community for the rest of their lives. Something is clearly “not working.” Doubling down on biblically inaccurate authoritarian models of marriage, family, church, and interpersonal relationships is not the answer. Those models are part of the problem.

Summary:

The topic of money stirs passions in the church. On the one hand you have the offensive and manipulative tithe and "seed faith" practices of televangelists and their acolytes. On the other hand you have folks who in reaction to being abused on this topic, have quit giving all together out of fear of abuse, or give in a token way from the scraps, margins, and left overs of American/western consumerism . . . that is . . not much. Is there a new covenant, Christ-centered, grace, love, and relationship-based way to understand and live in a kingdom dimension on this topic? Yes there is, and this book challenges long-standing traditional teachings on money and offers a life-giving alternative.

Summary: It is easy to talk about how things should be. It is harder to live life in such a way that brings about necessary changes. This one-hour audio course is a dialogue among a group of people who do not attend an institutional church regularly. Some have been "de-churched" for a decade or more. Different points of view, answers to questions are presented as the group discusses how to effectively provide care for each other in a local community without the inertia and administrative infrastructure so common in larger institutions.

Summary:

This booklet addresses the topic of prayer, intercession, prophetic intercession, spiritual warfare, etc., from a finished-work, grace-based and new covenant perspective. The implications of the change in covenants, and having a resurrected God-man on the throne of the universe must influence our beliefs and practices regarding intercession, or we will inadvertently find ourselves in striving, old covenant mentalities and methods in our private and corporate prayer practices. Our prayer theology and practice needs a "new covenant update."

Summary:

This book lays out a grace-based and new covenant perspective regarding the function of the prophetic ministry in the New Testament era. It cuts a middle road between the unbelief and dismissal of Cessationism and the baloney, hype, and control of Charismaticdom. This is not a book about Israel and the end times, the gift of prophecy, how to prophesy, or various other “spiritual gift techniques.” This book is about relational wellness and integration AS prophetic people, WITH prophetic people, and AMONG the diversely gifted and configured body of Christ. The prophetic grace can be ministered in the earth for the glory of His Name in a way that is not occultic, not sensationalist, does not slander the Lord’s name and character, nor damage His people.

Summary: Like Goldilocks quest for porridge that is neither too hot or too cold, so is the issue of things "prophetic". Some Christians have been taught that prophets don't exist any more, confusing their role as solely "the recording of Scripture." Others make prophets little more than psychic prognosticators, falsely thinking that if a prediction is accurate that God is endorsing the person who gave the prediction--not so. Some ignore the value of the gift of the Spirit of common prophecy and others worship it. This six-session course is a video condensation of my book of the same name. The burden in this book and video series is not to give techniques of how to "access the supernatural." It is not about the gifts of the Spirit. It is about understanding the matter in a grace-based and New Covenant perspective. It is about understanding those who are configured and gifted prophetically so that interpersonal relationships and expression in the community of faith can be beneficial to all.  Here are what some have said:

• I was moved to tears by the heartbeat of God for his people that resounds on page after page.
• I have never read anything that so accurately described myself to me before this book.
• If you want to perpetuate the Charismatic dysfunction ubiquitous on the Christian landscape, this book is definitely not for you. 
• After reading this book, I felt like I had just climbed up to a vantage point where the Swiss Alps were spread out panoramically before my eyes.
• I feel like I have been put in touch with my Creator for the first time.
• For the first time, I don't feel like there is something wrong with me.
• This material has transformed my marriage. I now understand my husband for the first time.

Why do we do worship the way we do?  Why do we structure the typical church service around something the apostles never did? Why do we have a near mandatory forty-five minutes (or much more) of singing in many churches before the preaching? What theology underlies our practices? What did Jesus say about the manifest presence of God? What expectations do we have in our worship services and why do we have those expectations? What is the restoration of David's tent? What does it mean to worship in "spirit and truth?" This book answers these and other questions from a grace-based, new covenant perspective, and offers a "better way to worship."

Summary: Jesus was a storyteller. He understood humans, their social nature, and their learning processes. He was very culturally attuned in an overwhelmingly illiterate society. The parables uniquely entertain, inform, involve, motivate, engage, and mirror existence. Western lecture-based teaching–the transfer of “factual information” to another–cannot reach the depth, breadth, and possibilities that a well-crafted parable can. And parables deliver their punch concisely and infinitely more briefly! Parables are designed to be compellingly interesting. Good parables draw attention, disarm, and facilitate self-awareness and self-instruction. The significance of Jesus’s use of parables cannot be overstated. The need to correctly interpret and apply them also cannot be overstated.

Summary:

Matthew 18 has suffered from careless interpretation and application over the years. This chapter is frequently used in local churches as a procedural template to resolve interpersonal offenses and  “issues.”  It is also commonly applied to the believer’s authority in spiritual warfare to “bind and loose” different entities: binding this and that “principality,” binding satan, binding the strong man, “binding” people to the will of God (!?) and “loosing” angels, etc. This booklet examines Matthew18 from a disciplined perspective, paying close attention to context and culture, and provides a perspective that is spiritually fresh and challenging to many widely held assumptions.

Summary:

Legalism influences seemingly functional and fruitful believers like hypertension affects the body. It is a silent killer.  Legal and performance based religion is  the most  prevalent, unrecognized, and deleterious malady affecting the individual believer and the Church universal.  Its influence has perniciously leavened the church since the first century. The legitimate pursuit of spiritual maturity often leads believers to unconsciously embrace a philosophy of performance-based elitism, forgetting the biblical roots of grace. This book exposes the philosophical and methodological  roots of legal, performance-based religion as well as the subtlety of its influence. Readers will be equipped to not only recognize the problem, but to avail themselves of the liberating grace of God.

Summary:

Really? Another seminar on Revelation? God spare us. Normally, that’s how I would feel about this topic. The fixation on the Revelation in Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism is a manic money-making machine. However, this live-stream will be unlike anything I experienced growing up in Evangelicalism: we will not be trying to predict the future! Rather, we will endeavor to look at the Revelation through the lens of first century, Second Temple era metaphors and cosmology. What would a Mediterranean-basin, Jew/Gentile audience understand from the imagery in a letter full of Jewish apocalyptic themes?

 

In the debates about whether or not the Revelation should even be considered canonical, St. Augustine cast a “yes” vote as long as it was understood that the book would not be used to predict the future. I find it beyond ironic how those whose entire theology (Evangelical Fundamentalism) is based on Augustine’s doctrines, ignore their founder’s point of view on Revelation! 

Also, we will not talk about the various schools of interpretation and try to convince you of one or the other.  Neither will we  talk about modern geopolitical Israel/Zionism, the rapture, the last days, Armageddon, the tribulation, the anti-Christ and on and on–as is so tediously common.

Summary:

It’s commonly held that if believers repent enough, pray enough, fast enough, or turn away from sin enough that God is obliged to send revival based on His “promise” of 2 Chronicles 7:14. It’s alleged that the institutions of civil government will be reformed and transformed if believers will simply repent enough and turn to God. This booklet examines this familiar passage and many common revivlalistic teachings from a contextual and new covenant perspective, and comes to the conclusion that God is not withholding good things from His people. We are as “revived” as we want to be.

Summary:

Being a believer in Christ is about more than going to heaven when we die. While on earth, we are called to function and represent the Lord in a way the scriptures describe as a royal priesthood. Books describes what the royal priesthood is, why there is one, and how to participate in its reality. Even though within Protestantism, the doctrine of everyone being a priest and minister has been taught doctrinally for centuries, the reality is, very few believers function in their privilege at any meaningful, practical level. This book will awaken the reader to his or her inheritance in Christ and calling to function as a living sacrifice, as priest representing God to humanity and humanity to God.

Summary:

In some circles of the Body of Christ today, there is much emphasis regarding an alleged pending transfer of wealth from the unbelieving world into the hands of Christians based on Proverbs 13:22. This idea is easily manipulated by those with an agenda and without a conscience. In conjunction with this belief there is also much being said to day in regard to "marketplace ministers" being integral to the alleged transfer of wealth. This booklet examines these doctrines as well as other "Prosperity Gospel" financial issues and prosperity teachings such as the mandatory tithe to a local church, "tithing up, or to, your covering," seed-faith offerings, sowing and reaping, harvest, etc., from a strong Christ-centered, New Covenant perspective.

Summary:

This is an academic critique of a doctrine called Cessationism that dominates the media and popular Christian culture of Evangelicalism in the West. It is the belief system that teaches certain gifts of the Spirit and the ministries of apostles and prophets "ceased" by divine design at the end of the first century (and other variations of that theme).  This book shows that the essence of every vital doctrine of the faith is undermined by Cessationism, that it minimizes scriptures own testimony of itself, and disenfranchises believers from what is rightly theirs through the finished work of Jesus Christ, and the out-poured and indwelling Spirit. This is written at a graduate/post-graduate level and it is hoped that it could be a valuable resource to serious students of scripture, leaders, and influencers.
