Hey, Roar Nation! Jon Fuller here for today’s episode as we cover three of my favorite subjects: faith, business, and entrepreneurship. I’m joined by Terry Brisbane, the lead pastor at Cornerstone Church in San Francisco. Terry started at Cornerstone as a youth minister and later took over as lead pastor for his grandfather, the church’s founding pastor. As a native San Franciscoan, Terry understands why the city presents unique challenges when it comes to reaching people for Christ and proclaiming the message of Jesus. He has co-authored The Faith Code with Rusty Rueff. The book is for people with a biblical hunger to learn more about Jesus and His teachings, specifically applying them to business and entrepreneurship.
Jon and Terry begin by discussing how Luke 22:32-33 are pivotal life scripture verses for Terry’s ministry and his efforts to strengthen his brethren in Christ. Terry describes how he was raised in church being greatly influenced by his grandfather’s pastoral ministry, but didn’t meet Jesus personally and find his “center court” until his high school years. That moment became the impetus for his life of ministry and serving with his grandfather in the church. Terry explains the importance of yielding to authority, using authority with humility, and submitting to God’s authority as we walk in alignment with His will for our lives.
In an overview of The Faith Code, Terry shares how the book was birthed from a burden to connect faith and work with biblical principles. The book explains how our identity is formed by the different cultures we encounter, with Jesus as the ultimate model in how He formed his leadership team of disciples and apostles. The “faith code” begins in our lives with the foundation we stand upon, and we must be sure that it is not dictated by the culture around us but by our identity in Christ. Terry wraps up with his best advice to his younger self and his admonition to listeners to stay in love with Jesus.

We are so excited about this show because it’s all about Cher Butler’s new book, In The Waiting: The Journey Between the Wilderness and the Promised Land. This book is for women, men, and anyone in business or ministry; it applies to every person because we all encounter seasons of waiting in our lives. Waiting, for a believer, can be defined as a period in our lives where we are waiting on God’s guidance for answers and the fulfillment of His promises.
Cher expounds on the book and how it addresses the seasons of waiting, along with how God worked in her life over recent years leading up to the writing of the book. The times of waiting may feel like we are wandering in the wilderness like the children of Israel, but the waiting is what prepares us for our Promised Land. There is glory in the waiting and there are miracles in the waiting. It’s a time that we cannot overlook because it plays a big part in our refinement, character-building, and our training as Christ-followers.
Cher shares many scriptural and real-life examples of people who had their season of waiting, and she explains why we can’t skip the process God has for us even though we get impatient. He is always in control, He doesn’t forget us, and He is always sovereign! We only have to yield and trust Him. Cher gives advice to those who find themselves in the waiting right now, and Kasey encourages listeners to have boldness and confidence in God’s plan according to the promises found in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 8:28.

Today’s show is about the very important, and often misunderstood, topic of spiritual gifts. These are gifts that we can access through the power of the Holy Spirit, but many believers don’t understand how the gifts function and how God uses them in our everyday lives. Our key scripture, I Corinthians 12:7-11, is the basis for today’s discussion. We must understand that these gifts cannot be earned, but they are given to us by God at His discretion, and we receive them by faith.
Cher begins by defining spiritual gifts as “the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit working through God’s people to bring forth His divine nature in glory on the earth.” She explains why listeners should see a red flag if their church does not teach about spiritual gifts. Kasey explains how spiritual gifts were promised to believers by Jesus Himself, as He spoke about them in the Upper Room and when He gave the Great Commission, adding that He would leave His followers with something better. The Spirit’s presence comes like a rushing wind and makes us an equipped army for kingdom work.
Cher and Kasey continue with a detailed look at the nine spiritual gifts with scriptural and real-life examples; some gifts reveal something or speak something, and others enable a believer to do something. As a believer walks closely with the Lord and yields to the Holy Spirit, multiple spiritual gifts can be displayed in their lives. The discussion ends with a look at I Corinthians 2:14-16 and a prayer for listeners to experience the fullness of spiritual gifts to have spiritual strength and unity against our enemy through the power of the Holy Spirit.

When we embrace spiritual freedom, God can bring wholeness and completeness into our lives, and this makes all the difference in our marriages. Today’s guest has vast experience and wisdom about what it takes to heal and rebuild a marriage between two broken people. Join us to learn more!
Dr. Gary Lawrence is the founder and director of New Life Dynamic Christian Counseling Center, and he hosted a radio show for 20 years. With Life Mastery Counseling, he has personally coached thousands of people, and he’s the Amazon bestselling author of Rejection Junkies: The Hidden Addiction Everyone Suffers. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment is his marriage of over 55 years to his wife, Sylvia.
From being raised in a home with alcoholism, abuse, and no acknowledgment of God’s existence, Gary was saved at age 20 and called to preach just a few weeks later. His path led to Bible college, an initial pastorate in northern Minnesota, and more ministry work in Canada before he started a Christian counseling center. He began helping marriages and families while figuring out how to save his own marriage from the trauma of past abuse and a “root of bitterness.” Learning how to embrace spiritual freedom, completeness, and true forgiveness helped Gary develop his “emotional surgery” counseling techniques that have helped thousands of couples rebuild their marriages through the work of the Holy Spirit. Gary explains how every man can have a solid and thriving marriage by learning to prioritize his wife’s needs above his own. Jon and Gary wrap up the conversation with Gary’s best advice to his younger self and Jon’s prayer over Dr. Gary’s life, health, family, and ministry.

Welcome, Roar Nation! We are covering meaty topics in today’s conversation, most notably how Jesus manifests His love for us in the care of our souls and why the Church often falls short in the counseling arena. Jon is joined by Rush Witt, the lead pastor of Paramount Church in Bexley, Ohio, which he planted 11 years ago. He and his wife are homeschooling parents of five kids, ranging from 8-19 years old. Rush has written several books, and he regularly partners with New Growth Press in the publishing industry.
Rush gives us a glimpse into his background and how he came to know Christ at a Christian basketball camp in 1995, soon feeling God’s clear call into ministry. From his personal experience, Rush explains how God is most glorified when our hearts seek ultimate happiness in Him and how we experience “soul care” as we grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus.
Jon and Rush discuss the void in the Church regarding biblical counseling, loosely defined as “a ministry which brings Christ and His answers into the areas of our lives where we struggle to understand.” Rush outlines his passion for Christian counseling and why he partnered with New Growth Press and Lifeway to help produce the Life Counsel Bible. This unique Bible helps meet the counseling needs and bridges the gap in the Christian community in dealing with the hardest issues. With any struggle we seek to overcome, we can’t look for the “quick fix” but have to trust the process of falling in love with Jesus to bring our healing and transformation. Jon closes the conversation by asking Rush about a time when he felt most desperate for God to show up, his strengths and weaknesses, and what he would say to his younger self. Rush’s parting advice is for us to stop “thinking small” in light of the infinite God who lives in us, to give ourselves grace, and to invite God into our stories and journeys.

Today’s topic is deliverance, which you’ve heard us discuss often in recent episodes. We want to break it down in a practical way for those who may have limited understanding or no understanding of this topic. Join us!
Kasey and Cher begin with a discussion of how our flesh (human nature) affects our souls when temptation comes our way. We have to take the necessary steps to crucify the flesh and consecrate ourselves to the Lord by turning away from sin, putting aside what the flesh wants, and staying in the Word of God. This means closing the door to the flesh, sin, and demonic spirits. God’s goal is always that we have freedom in Him, and the Devil’s goal is to dominate people. Jesus makes it clear in Luke 10:19 that our authority over the enemy comes only by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Because Jesus has compassion for us, He heals, casts out demons, and delivers us. He wants our complete healing!
The ladies explain the upcoming Bound No More Inner Healing and Deliverance Summit scheduled at Kingdom’s Gate Apostolic Center in Andrews, Texas, on December 2. Ephesians 6:12 tells us that we have access to deliverance if we come into agreement with God’s Word on it; we have to study and understand the scriptures that teach us about our very real enemy and promise our deliverance. The power of God is real, as shown by the powerful, impactful real-life examples that Kasey and Cher share. This episode wraps up with a reminder of the capabilities of those who believe in Jesus’ name from Mark 16:17-18.

I'm thrilled to have my friend Tyler Frick on the podcast today. Although we've known each other for a short time, he's like a brother to me, as we share common interests in ministry and business. Tyler, the founder of the Kings Company since July 2018, focuses on raising Kingdom-minded leaders globally. They train in spiritual aspects like prophetic and deliverance ministry, having impacted over 15,000 clients and students in five years.
Tyler emphasizes that Kingdom-minded leaders prioritize Jesus over fame and often face religious and political challenges. Despite this, they remain committed to their mission. He also addresses the effectiveness of online ministry, sharing his success in reaching thousands through digital platforms, which he compares to the limited geographic reach of Jesus and his disciples. Tyler's team, some with him for over five years, have seen tangible results, with students now leading churches and engaging in missionary work. Despite skepticism about online ministry, Tyler stands by its impact, evidenced by the lives changed and communities formed.
Reflecting on his journey, Tyler shares how he overcame personal challenges to establish his ministry. He aims to inspire others with his story, showing that anyone can rise from humble beginnings to make a significant impact in the world for Christ.

Today’s show is about narcissism in the church. It’s something we are seeing more and more, and we need to identify what narcissism is and what it looks like when it operates in the church. Join us as Kasey and Cher dive into this topic!
We define narcissism as “a personality disorder consisting of a pervasive pattern of grandiosity in fantasy or behavior, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy.” As we discuss three types of narcissism, we need to understand that it is a real disorder that needs to be healed in order to have a healthy church environment. Kasey and Cher describe how narcissism is the exact opposite of the personality of Jesus, but it aligns perfectly with what we know about Satan. That in itself should assure us that narcissism has no place in the lives of God’s people.
It’s important to realize that narcissism in the church may look different than it does out in the world. Kasey and Cher explain how narcissism shows up in behaviors of manipulation and control, being above everyone else, and having a constant need for admiration. In every way, it goes against the humility we are called to exhibit. We must remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual darkness and demonic powers. As we stand against the elements of narcissism in our families and our parenting, we should teach our kids about humility, accountability, and empathy to help guard their hearts against narcissism.
How do we handle narcissism when we see it in the church? We should cover it in prayer and follow the biblical mandate set forth in Matthew 23 to confront it with the goal of resolution and restoration to unity in the body of Christ. Kasey and Cher close out this episode with a prayer for wisdom to help us stand against the spirit of narcissism and the kingdom of darkness. Today’s verse is Isaiah 26:3, “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you.”

Our topic today is generational curses. Could there be a more relevant time than late October to address this issue? What powers of darkness are you inviting into your home and family with Halloween traditions? We need to focus on what is happening in the spirit realm and keep ourselves pure and clean as believers. We must know how to position ourselves to fight in the spirit realm against what’s going on in our culture. Join us to learn more!
Cher begins by defining a curse as “an invisible barrier that blocks you from the blessing of God.” A curse can be self-imposed, of your own doing, or a generational curse, which trickles down through your ancestral line because of the actions of those before you. Kasey explains that we can give a “legal right” to our enemy, Satan, to bring a curse to our lives, but this is not the same thing as being possessed by a demon. “Jesus defeated the power of Satan but not the presence of Satan.” Many passages in Deuteronomy have much to say about blessings and curses–and how they come into our lives.
Cher and Kasey teach us about the positional and relational blessings that we have in Christ, and how a curse can block those relational blessings. The six ways that we can come under a curse are: generationally, idle words, cursed objects, disobedience, occult activity, and turning against Israel. The ladies explain how we can take a stand to be “bloodline breakers” of generational curses and the nine indicators (from Deuteronomy 28) that we could be under a curse. They wrap up the episode by urging us to repent and renounce the curse in agreement with the Holy Spirit and by praying that listeners would walk in the filling of the Holy Spirit and God’s goodness. Today’s verse is Deuteronomy 30:19.

In thispodcast episode, we dive deep into the significance of developing godly character. We define character as the combination of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that form one's personality.
We emphasize the crucial role of fostering an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit, referencing Isaiah 64:8 to illustrate God as the potter who molds us, the clay. Through sharing personal stories, we reflect on our spiritual journeys and the evolution of our characters. A major concern we discuss is the evident lack of godly character within church leadership.
We offer practical advice on nurturing godly character, touching on reading the Bible, surrounding oneself with like-minded friends, having relationships grounded in accountability, heeding the Holy Spirit's guidance, and addressing the root causes of negative behaviors. We also hint at an upcoming series focused on spiritual deliverance, highlighting the spiritual nuances of character development.

Today’s topic is an important one for every believer. We need inner healing and deliverance through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. How do we prepare our hearts for the inner healing and deliverance that we need? Kasey, Cher, and Ruthie Dickey explore this subject together and give their advice.
Cher begins by explaining how Bound No More Ministries started in 2021 as an outgrowth of I Will Not Keep Silent Ministries. She and her mother, Ruthie Dickey, began this ministry with a vision of mass deliverance and inner healing. Ruthie explains why our mindset needs to change regarding inner healing, what it means, and how it comes into our lives. You’ll learn why forgiveness is an important first step to prepare for inner healing, and why we have to release guilt, shame, and a victim mentality as part of forgiveness. Harboring unforgiveness opens the door for demonic power, including fear and anxiety, when the Lord wants us to feel whole and at peace.
The ladies discuss the difference between inner healing and deliverance, describing inner healing as “spiritual heart surgery” because it deals with the soul and issues of the heart. There are warning signs that you are in need of inner healing that can come in the form of your spirit, relationships, and harmful patterns. Ruthie shares the steps to prepare for inner healing and deliverance and offers an admonition for listeners to consecrate themselves with humility before the Lord. Cher wraps up with a prayer to release blessings on our listeners, and Kasey explains why Luke 10:19 is our scripture to stand on today.

He has an unwavering passion for helping his clients achieve their dreams, and he is committed to providing exceptional service. Daniel’s expertise and enthusiasm in the local market ensure that he can navigate every aspect of the real estate journey with ease. This father of four uses his free time to coach youth sports, work with young entrepreneurs through Young Professional Networks, volunteer in leadership programs, and serve as a youth leader at his church. Join us to meet Daniel and hear his story!
Jon and Daniel begin by describing how a man’s career and personal life are outlets for an overflow of Christ and faith. Daniel shares how he starts each day with grace and gratitude, using the 5 Fs to get his priorities straight: faith, fitness, family, finances, and fun. During the COVID pandemic, Daniel had his “pressure cooker” experience of jumping into real estate, learning a brand-new skillset, and trusting God’s leading for each step of the uncertain journey. Believing that mentorship is everything to a young entrepreneur, Daniel learned from his mentors and implemented the attitude of “I’ll try everything I can.”
We wrap up our conversation by getting Daniel’s take on his strengths, weaknesses, and what God is stirring in his soul. He shares what he aspires to do with his podcast, GameChangerZ Network, and what advice Daniel would give to his younger self. Daniel concludes by challenging us to make Philippians 4:13 real in our lives.

This conversation is a follow-up to our previous episode about setting boundaries. Within this topic, Kasey and Cher have covered some very practical topics that are relevant to everyone at some point in their lives, and they are diving deeper in discussing boundaries in today’s show. Join us!
Good boundaries benefit the body, soul, and spirit, and boundaries were first established by God. The enemy and the world always seek to blur the boundary lines that God has set, but we should live to God’s standards and not our own. We cannot trust ourselves to “self-regulate,” but we need to align our thinking with God’s and let Him renew our minds.
Kasey and Cher talk in detail about the boundaries we need concerning entertainment, sports, fitness/exercise, and sexuality within marriage. In all of these areas, our lack of boundaries will give Satan an open door for destruction and feed the spirits of darkness and depression. Is your heart a place where darkness reigns or where the Holy Spirit is welcome? When we allow modern society to “muddy the waters” of our thinking about sensitive topics like sexual molestation/predation and gender transitioning of children, we are forsaking the boundaries that God has given us for our protection. As God’s children, we are never designed to function apart from the Holy Spirit, but many times we choose to live according to our own boundaries and go our own way.

In our previous episode, we discussed the importance of stewarding the relationships in our lives. Part of healthy relationships is in setting boundaries, and that’s our focus for today’s show. A boundary is defined as a line that marks the limits of an area or a dividing line. Boundaries aren’t always easy to set and maintain, but they are important and God-ordained. Join us for the conversation with Kasey and Cher.
Most of the boundaries we set are learned through trial and error, and they are Biblical. Even Jesus set boundaries in His earthly life! Kasey and Cher discuss how a lack of boundaries can destroy your life, hurt your marriage, and negatively affect your children. In a marriage, boundaries must be established to protect mutual trust, security, and honesty. Each couple has to navigate around their unique issues and be sensitive to one another in setting boundaries that honor the needs of both husband and wife. Those in Christian ministry work usually find it difficult to set and maintain boundaries, but they are necessary. None of us are perfect in this work of setting boundaries, so when boundaries in relationships are broken, grace and open communication are essential to restore trust.
We need boundaries in our friendships, making sure to prioritize and protect our marriages, families, and relationship to God. Setting personal boundaries regarding the places we go, what we watch, and what we listen to are vital in maintaining our relationship to God. We must be careful about what we take into our minds and hearts so as not to give the enemy a foothold in our lives. Kasey and Cher wrap up today’s discussion with prayers for new hope, restoration, and realignment with boundaries that set us on the path of God’s direction and purpose in our lives.

How are your relationships? The relationships we have with others form the backbone of our lives, both at home and at work. We talk a lot about the “Fuller Five” in our lives: faith, family, fitness, fun, and finances, and this topic of relationships fits perfectly into that structure. We are focusing the podcast on these important areas in which we all want to grow and learn more so we can properly steward the things God has placed in our lives. Today’s show covers ways we can cultivate and guard our most important relationships to be better spouses, parents, friends, and coworkers. I’m excited to be joined again by Cher Butler for this conversation!
The marriage relationship is the most important one we can have in this earthly life. Kasey and Cher discuss the importance of walking with love and respect with your spouse, always looking to “outserve” each other, along with keeping an attitude of teamwork to help the family flourish and grow. Because we have a spiritual enemy who is out to destroy marriages, it’s important to keep dating your spouse–always! Even for those in ministry, keeping a “family first” mentality will form a solid foundation for your life and work.
God loans our children to us, and we must have balance in our parenting techniques. We offer our kids solutions to life’s challenges as they grow up, and things change drastically when they become adults. Cher describes how she and her husband are parenting through the adolescent and teenage years, and Kasey shares how she partners with God in prayer to stand on His scriptural promises in surrendering her adult children to His care–and standing on His promises.
With other family members, we have to remember that boundaries are sometimes necessary to guard our hearts and mental health from toxic relationships. In friendships, we should evaluate our inner circle and ask God, “How can I be your hands and feet to the people you’ve placed in my inner circle?” To have good workplace relationships, we should strive to honor each other and focus on a teamwork mindset that holds space for everyone’s strengths to shine.

Are you in a time of transition? Today’s show takes a closer look at how life, leadership, and ministry bring these seasons and how we can navigate them with grace and strength. Kasey Fuller is joined by Cher Butler, a ministry partner who has appeared on previous episodes of the podcast.
Cher is the president of I Will Not Keep Silent (IWNKS) Ministries, a nonprofit ministry focused on inner healing and deliverance through classes, revivals, preaching, and speaking. Cher and IWNKS have exciting upcoming classes for churches and communities in their mentoring and discipleship mission, and Cher will be joining R U Real with special series episodes and helping us with hosting duties. Welcome to Cher!
Today’s discussion is about those times of transition that can be good, exciting, and challenging–all at the same time. Cher explains that a transition is simply a time of change, or realignment, and what the signs are of those transitions. God speaks through different means to give us confirmation when we walk through transitions, even though those times may feel like rejection and discomfort.
Kasey and Cher discuss some scriptural examples of people who navigated difficult transitions, like Joseph and Peter. We must realize that, within God’s plan, times will come when He moves us to accomplish His purpose and will. Cher says, “The prophetic destiny of your life is still going to come to pass, even if it doesn’t look the way you thought it would.” Character-building events come in the seasons of transition so we can step with confidence into the places God calls us.

Welcome, Roar Nation! I’m thrilled to be back with another great guest who knows what it means to equip others to serve Christ and know their personal identity in Him. Her life and ministry revolve around the ministries of equipping and helping others find deliverance. Join us to learn more!
Jane Morin is the founder of the Jane Morin Evangelical Association, SOAR Texas Women’s Events, and Bound No More, an inner healing and deliverance ministry. She is the podcast host of The Secret Place and is an award-winning author of several books. She has worked in deliverance ministry for over 20 years and is a revivalist, songwriter, and a worship artist. Jane shares her origin story of growing up in an alcoholic and abusive home that was full of dysfunction, along with the unfathomable events that culminated in her brother’s death and her mother’s suicide. Jane refers to that crisis as a milestone that showed her how desperately she needed Jesus in her life. Even though she was secure in Jesus, life was difficult with the baggage she carried from her past and her own 19-year abusive marriage that brought her four children. Counseling has helped her heal from those wounds and move forward in her ministry, grounding herself with the message of Joshua 1:9, her life verse.
Jane explains the dangers of a prideful heart in God’s ministry, what it means to trust God with your shame and guilt, and what holds most people back from following Christ. She shares some of her milestone moments in life and ministry, why she is sure about what God has called her to be, and how God specifically called her to speak life in Odessa, Texas. Jane wraps up by explaining what advice she would give her younger self about being obedient to God. Her message to every listener is that God will use your life if you just follow Him in obedience and trust His plan for your life.

Hey, Roar Nation! I’m happy to be back with you for another episode! We are focusing on the revelation of who we are in Christ and who we are called to be in this world. This concept will change your life! Are you living as an orphan in this world or as a true Son of the King? Join us for this encouraging conversation with today’s guest.
Robert Burton is the pastor of YES LORD Amarillo. He works with drug addicts and the homeless, people he calls “the least, the last, and the lost,” believing God has called him to this work to share the Gospel and the love of Jesus. He’s been married to his high school sweetheart for almost 30 years, and they have two daughters. His wife joins him in kingdom work, passionately teaching people about their true identity in the Lord. Robert looks for opportunities every day to tell people about their identity in Christ and break their “orphan spirit” with the Good News.
Robert tells the story of his personal orphan spirit, wrecked home life, total rejection of Jesus, and early alcohol addiction. A radical encounter with Jesus in 1997 in his early twenties turned his life around, changed his habits, cleaned up his life, and plunged him into God’s Word. Becoming a father to his first daughter gave him the truest picture of God’s love as a Father and propelled him forward into youth ministry, working with a rough and rowdy group of boys who needed to know God’s love. Every step in Robert’s journey has confirmed his identity in Christ as a son and a vessel to bring His love to others, even though he has had ups and downs as a pastor. Like all of us, he has been through ministry missteps and failures that left him broken, angry, bitter, and wounded. He shares his lessons learned about trusting God when you are crushed and broken, along with what it means to have compassion and choose forgiveness.
At the core of Robert’s message and ministry is the change that Jesus brings to broken and wasted lives. He pursues the unlovable with the message of God’s love as a faithful, compassionate Father. Listen in to hear the story of God’s amazing work in Robert’s life and ministry!
