Sure, you want a doctor to have gone to medical school, and your electrician to be licensed so your house doesn’t burn down, but what “credential” makes someone qualified to discuss spiritual matters?

Degrees? Nope, that’s a relatively modern concept. The first disciples turned the world upside down without one.

Titles? Nope, Jesus said the Pharisees and other religious leaders were the blind leading the blind.

Popularity? Nope, the prophets, apostles and messengers that told God’s Story were maligned – stoned, beaten, imprisoned and often killed.

Now, I am not saying that I am a prophet or apostle, only the Lord can appoint such a person. I do have degrees and certifications and have held various positions within the Church that could be considered qualifications for this podcast…

But, that is most likely not why you’re reading this section on credentials. What you want to do is to make sure I’m not crazy and wasting your time.

I get it. I would do the same thing. The reality is the only way to find out is to listen and examine what I say.

So here’s my proposal:

Check out the first 5 episodes – the first one is just 13 minutes – and all together, it’ll take less time than watching the latest Hollywood flick.

Make an informed decision. If there is no value, walk away. However, it is my hope you will discover how God’s Kingdom Story helps us navigate a world that is ever increasing in chaos and confusion and subscribe to The Field Journal Podcast.
