Fearless La Podcast

In this podcast, Pastor Jeremy Johnson of Fearless LA shares a life changing message on how God defines what love is in 1 Corinthians 13. Ultimately, it is something we choose to do in every situation, and with every person. Love never dishonors, isn’t self-seeking or easily angered. What would happen if we actually started to believe and apply this in our lives? What would it take to keep loving every time they reject you, or to keep no record of wrongs? The goal is to love others the very way God loves us, exemplified in 1 Corinthians 13. Jesus hasn’t kept any record of wrongs because his love is not like man’s love. His love protects and always trusts. Ultimately, if we have been transformed by the love of Jesus, then we are able to trust others and operate from a place of overflow of His love. Let’s not make love our talk, but our passionate walk.

Have you ever started building something, whether a new business, a new house, or even a career...and days, months or even years later, it collapses? Sometimes, we as humans think if we just keep doing a lot, God will be pleased with that. But to God, it isn’t about human DOING, but about human BEING: being in His presence and plugged into God the Father. Your “doing” is distracting you from “being” with God...and ultimately, He just really wants to know us and wants to build with us. And if we’re going to build great things with God, we better build a great foundation in God. In this weeks message Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about the process of getting to the purpose, and how important it is to trust God in the process just as much as you trust him to fulfill the promise!

Easter Sunday is the ultimate reminder of God’s love for you. He paid the highest price to set you free. Have you ever wondered why Jesus came at the time He did? God lives outside of time, but chose a specific time to send His son to earth. In this special Easter Sunday message, Pastor Jeremy Johnson talks about the mistreating of slaves, and how that represents how the enemy wants to treat us. If a slave was put to death, they were put on the cross naked. If they tried to run away, they would get their legs broken. The only way a slave would be free is if their master died, or if they had their names written in the Roman census book. This sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it? Jesus was crucified naked on a cross while your names were written in the Lamb’s book of life. Jesus took your place as a slave to set you free. He ransomed you with the highest price of His life. Stop going back to the slave market that Jesus saved you from. It is finished! Those three powerful words were followed by another three powerf

If you live in LA, you might find that you spend more than, or almost as much as you make. You might be living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet, and emptying your bank account out to pay your bills. Whether you’re married or single, using your money strategically is the smartest thing you could do. In this weeks podcast Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson share some of the ways they have been able to be good stewards of their money, and some things to always be mindful of when spending money. Like pastors have mentioned many times in this series, anything you bring into marriage un-dealt with WILL be magnified in marriage, that includes money!

Most people have at one point or another created a timeline for their lives. When you were younger you probably thought, “I’ll be married in my early 20’s, already have my career established, start having children, retire early, and live happily ever after.” Maybe your timeline looked a little different, but at some point in your life you’ve probably had certain expectations for your future. It’s natural to think about how your life will play out, and to hope for certain things at certain times. Well, what happens when you pass that time you were supposed to already be married, or supposed to already have children? Maybe you get upset and think God forgot about you. The truth is, God has an appointed time for everything and everyone! Today, Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson share their testimonies of how faithful God is in His own timing. God hasn’t forgotten about you; He’s just waiting for the perfect time to fulfill certain things in your life! When you say yes to God, you can’t miss it. He will always di

 We know those people who are referred to as “pessimists”; the ones who always see things in a negative light, and the one bad thing outweighs the good for them. You probably know a lot of people like that, and maybe you are even like that yourself. Don’t be ashamed, because you’re not alone. Some people are hardwired as negative, BUT that’s where you have to make the choice to be POSITIVE! In this weeks message Pastor Jeremy Johnson sheds some light on negativity and how we can retrain our mind to stop those negative thoughts before they even get there! God commands us to have joy, it’s not a suggestion it is not an option! It’s not going to be easy. It will be a sacrifice that takes time and patience, but once you’ve figured out the key, it makes life’s problems seem so small in comparison to Gods greatness!

We’ve probably all heard the verse Proverbs 4:23 so many times: “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” It is so widely known, but it is also so valuable, and many times, it is a difficult thing to do. You must also guard your marriage, your family, your finances, your health, but above all, you need to guard your heart. Your heart determines where you go in life, what you want to do, and the course of your life. If your heart isn’t healthy, the rest of your life isn’t going to be healthy. In this weeks message, Pastors Jeremy and Christy Johnson open up about the foundations of their relationship and marriage, as well as how we can better guard our hearts!

This world is filled with people who have a desire for more. What you have never seems to be enough. You will probably even find that many children have this desire, too. You give them a piece of candy or a toy, and they instantly want another one. The reason being what it says in Ephesians 4:19: “Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.” They lost their sensitivity to the things of God and gave in to the things of this world. The good thing is that God gave you that desire on purpose so you can desire more of Him, but it is your job to redirect your desires toward Him. In this podcast we learn how God has already given us all we need to be whole, and whether in our singleness or married life, He wants us to live our lives fully in Him.
