Have you ever known a woman (or man) who hated authority and loved control? With them, it may go beyond nature and tendencies and could be the demonic spirit of Jezebel empowering this person. In this sermon, Pastor Mark shows 29 clear signs that you're dealing with someone with the spirit of Jezebel.

The spirit of Ahab works in men to make them passive, fearful and weak. Do you know any guys like that? Listen to learn the 28 signs of the Ahab spirit.

Have you noticed that our culture is filled with passive men and controlling women? What you may not know is that these demonic movements are empowered by the Jezebel and Ahab spirits, who have been at work since the days of Elijah. In this sermon, Pastor Mark tells that the story of Elijah gives context for real men, especially those who may struggle with the Ahab spirit and leave themselves vulnerable to the Jezebel spirit.

Most men probably don't have a problem feasting. From Super Bowl parties to Thanksgiving dinners, gluttony is one of the most celebrated sins of our day. On the other hand, even too much of a good thing can become a god thing. Learn from Pastor Mark how to feast (and fast) in a healthy way, like Jesus did.

If you think journaling is just for girls, think again. As a man, it is important to write down plans and prayers so you can process them with God. And as you reflect more on your life, you'll also find a desire to serve others more like Jesus did.

In this exclusive, never before aired Real Men’s talk, Pastor Mark discusses what it really means to be a man. Learn what it takes to follow God through the different stages of life, from boyhood to mature manhood.

As there is a growing epidemic of men not working while others are completely burned out, Pastor Mark preaches on the need for men to both work hard and Sabbath well.

Pastor Mark preaches on the spiritual disciplines of prayer and activism and how the two go together. Like in bow hunting, prayer is the "pulling back" and activism is the "firing forward" and, as with all spiritual disciplines, we see both modeled in Jesus' life.

Pastor Mark preaches on the spiritual disciplines of silence and speaking, preaching that there is a time for both in each of our lives (Ecclesiastes 3:1,7).
