The Uncommon TruthUCT S2E6: Experiencing the Presence of GodBeing able to have an intimate relationship with the God of the universe is a unique aspect of Christianity not shared by other world religions. It is a key tenet of the faith, and one Jesus came to guarantee. But do all Christians recognize and receive this reality? When people seek to “encounter God,” what do they mean? How can we tell when we are actually interacting with God’s presence? Most importantly, is this type of intimacy for everyone, and how do we experience His presence for ourselves? If you like what you hear on the...2021-02-1545 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT S2E5: The Works of FaithThis week we continue our series looking at Steve & Vicki’s unique teaching points. Today we’re covering the place of “works” our Christian lives. James’ letter in the New Testament has a pretty bold statement: “Faith without works is dead.” What did he mean by that? What works are we supposed to do, how do we do them, and what happens if we don’t? If you like what you hear on the Uncommon Truth and want to dig deeper, the Father's House School of Transformation has a new term starting in March 2021. The full-time, in-per...2021-02-0849 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT S2E4: Trusting in Jesus AloneWhen it comes to the idea of salvation, the New Testament is pretty clear. Unfortunately, within the Church itself, there seems to be a fair bit of confusion. When we talk about salvation, and what it takes to be saved, what do we even mean? Is simply being a good person enough to guarantee your ticket to Heaven when you die? Or is it all about finding financial security and worldly success in this life? If the Bible is true, we’re going to need to know what it takes to be saved. If you lik...2021-02-0147 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT S2E3: The Importance of ForgivenessForgiveness is simultaneously a beautiful and terrifying word in Christianity. Most of us recognize and embrace our own forgiveness; but when it comes to forgiving those who hurt or offend us, most of us are not so eager. So what does Jesus say we should do? Is forgiveness a requirement, or just a suggestion? How do we practically go about forgiving as Jesus forgave, and what are the consequences if we refuse? If you like what you hear on the Uncommon Truth and want to dig deeper, the Father's House School of Transformation has a n...2021-01-2548 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 053: Where is Our Voice? What is Our Message?COVID-19, protests, rioting and economic collapse; with everything going on so far in 2020, does the Church have a voice and a message that the world needs right now? In Matthew 23, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees with several "woes." His main criticism of the religious leaders of the day was that they were in danger of missing out on the Kingdom of God. Not only that, Jesus said, but they were actively preventing their people from entering the Kingdom as well. Fast forward to today, and the warning is just as applicable to Christians today. Are we...2020-06-0844 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 052: Achieving a Godly Self-ImageWhen it comes to how we see ourselves, Christians know all the right answers; we are created in God's image, fearfully and wonderfully made and worth enough for Jesus to die for. However, when it comes to actually believing this, many of us struggle to walk it out. What does this look like, and where does it come from? More importantly, how can we overcome self-doubt and self-hate to be able to share the love of Christ with those around us? After all, if we are not able to love ourselves, how can we expect to love...2020-06-0148 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 051: Being Salt & Light in a Bland & Dark WorldJesus asks his followers to be the "Salt of the earth" and the "Light of the world." What does that mean? Are we supposed to blend in with our neighbors so that we can influence them? Or should we look and act completely different? More to the point, is this type of lifestyle optional for us as Christians? What are the consequences––for ourselves and for the world––if we fail to act?

The Uncommon TruthUCT 049: Unpacking Real Intimacy with GodTalking about living like Jesus and obeying his teachings can bring up tension. Should our faith be based on what we do or upon intimacy with Jesus? Is it religion or relationship? Is that even the right question to ask? As the title of our podcast suggests, Steve & Vicki Orsillo take an uncommon view of intimacy with Jesus. They discuss what an intimate relationship with Jesus looks like and how we're supposed to walk that out in our daily lives.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 048: Learning to Give Your Life AwayThe biblical passages about sacrifice are not very popular, but they are hard to ignore. Stories and admonitions about sacrifice are riddled throughout the New Testament for those with the courage to read and apply them. What happens when we decide not to skip over these challenges and instead embrace them? Steve and Vicki Orsillo founded the Father's House Church in Oroville, California in 1997. Instead of building in the center of town, they felt Jesus leading them to Southside with its rampant poverty, drug abuse and prostitution. More than 20 years later, they continue to reap the rewards...2020-05-0447 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 047: How Should Our Lives Reflect Jesus?As followers of Jesus, what should our lives look like? Here in the West, do our lives look any different from our friends and neighbors who don't know Jesus? In a time of radical upheaval surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we discuss the radical change that knowing and following Jesus should bring to our lives and churches.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 046: Plugging In to Real CommunityIn the midst of COVID-19 social distancing measures, church members have been sorely missing their church families. At the same time, some who have walked away from traditional church communities have began to come back via online services and Zoom chats. It raises the question, what does Jesus say about being plugged into a community of believers? In this weeks episode, we discuss how authentic connection to a group of believers can unlock the real freedom and abundant life people are searching for.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 043: Walking Through Adversity with Steve & Vicki OrsilloThis week's episode is a rebroadcast of a discussion from October 2019, and is surprisingly relevant for today. Steve and Vicki are no strangers to life's difficulties. They sat down with Max to talk about the role of adversity in the growth of their faith. To date, this has been the most listened to episode of The Uncommon Truth, and it is one Christians all around the world will benefit from during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 042: Walking in Jesus' AuthorityIf you're like most Christians, you probably have an idea of how you want your faith to grow. Most of us can think of a few areas that we would like to have more success in, but we don't really know how to get there. We're taught by our culture to do life on our own, independent of others, but nothing seems to change. Steve joins the show to talk about Jesus' plan for just such a scenario, and it involves some pretty uncommon (and uncomfortable) solutions. Allowing Jesus--and those he puts in our lives--to have authority...2020-03-1650 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 041: Are You the Good Soil?How many of us have grown comfortable or complacent when reading the words of Jesus? When you read a parable in which Jesus calls out the religious leaders of day, who do you identify with? If you're like most in the West, you're probably more likely to place yourself in Jesus' shoes than those of the Pharisees. What if we take a step back and assume He's talking directly to you and I? In this episode Max and Steve do just that as they dissect Jesus' well-known "Parable of the Sower." They ask, "Am I the good s...2020-03-0254 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 040: Escaping the Christian Carwash with Nolan ZinkNolan Zink went from a chronic addict and felon to a father, husband and pastor. He joins The Uncommon Truth to talk about how accountability saved his life. Accountability is a topic that many Christians find awkward or intimidating. It is often completely misunderstood. Most of the time when we in the Church talk about accountability, we approach it like a car wash. If and when we sin, we return to the carwash on Sunday to receive forgiveness. Is this the freedom and peace Jesus came to bring those who follow him? Nolan's LRM testimony on...2020-02-1746 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 039: Finding Comfort in Jesus with Ildiko ZinkMax is joined on the show by two guests this week: Nick Zeppi and Ildiko Zink. Nick is a pastor and assistant director for Life Recovery Ministries. He joins the show to preview the upcoming Jesus Man Conference which he will be speaking at. In the main part of the show, Ildiko recounts her amazing story of growing up in post-Communist Hungary, and eventually Northern California. Going to Jesus for comfort was never something she really knew how to do, or even seem to want. As it is for many of us, independence and self-reliance were just...2020-02-0351 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 038: Getting Back to Biblical Manhood with Derek Devine Derek Devine, men's pastor and former NFL quarterback, joins the show to talk about the state of manhood in light of the upcoming Jesus Man Conference. The conference will be in Oroville, CA on March 24-26, 2020. In North America, our idea of what real manhood looks like has slowly been warped. These warped ideas of manhood have even begun to infiltrate Christian thought and culture. In these confusing times, how can the men of the Church become the servants, leaders, and defenders Jesus meant us to be? What standard does Jesus hold for men? 2020-01-2048 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 037: Have We Redefined Love?We are all familiar with the saying, "God is love," but do we know what that means? Where do we get our definition of love? Do we define what love is based on who we know God to be, or vice-versa? If God really is love, then it must follow that everything He does is also love. Yet our society's definition of love is constantly changing and often has more to do with feelings than anything else. As Christians, are we allowing our own views of what love is to challenge our understanding of who God is?2019-12-2346 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 036: Misunderstanding Heaven with Geordie MumbyWhere do we get our understanding of heaven, life after death and the Kingdom of God from? Is our concept of these ideas something that Jesus or Paul would recognize? When we hear these terms, where do our minds go? Geordie Mumby joins the show to explain how our modern, Western ideas about heaven have been shaped more by our culture than by the words of Jesus. Is our goal as Christians simply to get to heaven when we die? Or do we have another purpose to accomplish here on Earth? Share the podcast with a...2019-12-1643 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 035: Maintaining Spiritual MotivationBurnout, lack of motivation, and spiritual dryness are commonplace in the North American Church. It seems like we take seasons such as these for granted, as natural parts of our spiritual lives. Yet, do these beliefs line up with what we find in the early Church and Jesus' teachings? Steve Orsillo rejoins the show to bring perspective from his forty-four plus years of following Jesus. He challenges the idea that spiritual zeal is simply for new believers, or that burnout is inevitable. Share the podcast with a friend! Just copy+paste this link https://link.cht...2019-12-0949 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 034: Common Bible Misunderstandings with Geordie MumbyWhile most Western Christians accept the Bible as accurate and authoritative, we don't always use correct historical interpretation to understand what it says. When we approach scripture, we tend to do so with a series of misconceptions that can cloud our understanding. Geordie Mumby has studied the New Testament in depth, and has taken the time to explore the historical context. He joins the show to point out some common misunderstandings about scripture and to hopefully shed a little light on its correct interpretation. Share the podcast with a friend!

The Uncommon TruthUCT 033: Foundational Worship with Ryan & Lisa KellyIn the North American Church, music and worship styles play a big role in our church experience. It is one of the first things we notice when attending a new church, and a big factor in whether or not we continue to attend. Many of the West's largest congregation are more recognizable from their syndicated music than what they preach. The question is, how does what we sing in our churches impact what we believe about God? Is there a connection? Worship pastors Ryan and Lisa Kelly join the show to discuss.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 032: Experiential vs. Biblical Christianity with Sarah BuddThe overall trend in our society today seems to be moving away from traditional understandings of truth. More and more, instead of facts and logic, we use how we feel and what we've experienced as benchmarks for how to live and make decisions. When we approach the bible and our faith this way, it can have serious consequences on our theology. Are we going to take the bible at face value, or rewrite it to fit what we feel is right? Sarah Budd joins the show and brings her scientific perspective and Cambridge education to the conversation. Ar...2019-11-1844 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 031: Engaging Millennials with Danielle DevineIt is no secret that institutional Christianity has struggled to engage Millennials and young adults in general. Many young people today—even those who identify as Christians—find the Church outdated, hypocritical, or simply irrelevant to their lives. How do we engage them with the truth of Jesus while standing firm in that truth? Danielle Devine joins the show to preview the new book she has written and to share new insights she gained about young adults through her research. Share the podcast with a friend!

The Uncommon TruthUCT 030: What's Up with Church Decline?It doesn't take a statistician or sociologist to figure out that the institutions of Christianity are on the decline in the Western world. Falling numbers, decreasing cultural relevance, and lessening political voice all paint a picture of a religion in decline. More and more people are leaving organized religion, and even casual knowledge of the Bible is uncommon. So how do we interpret this as Christians? Is it all doom and gloom, or is there an opportunity to seize the cultural moment? If the early Church could succeed, against all odds, without any of the advantages we...2019-11-0447 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 028: Orphan-Victim-Martyr Cycle with Lisa BowersA couple episodes ago, Max and Steve discussed the epidemic that is the culture of victimhood in the West. This week, Max is joined by TFHC pastor Lisa Bowers who shares about something she calls the orphan-victim-martyr cycle and how to combat it. Lisa points out that, as Christians, we are not immune from flawed thinking. When we get stuck in a mindset that puts too much focus on what we lack, it can quickly spiral in our lives. Operating out of isolation and unhealthy independence is a symptom of an orphan spirit at work. This often...2019-10-2149 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 027: Walking Through Adversity with Steve & Vicki OrsilloThis week is a special episode for the Uncommon Truth. For the first time, Max sits down with Steve Orsillo and his wife, Vicki, to have a discussion about faith in the midst of difficult times. Steve and Vicki founded The Father’s House Church in Oroville over twenty years ago. Though they display joy and peace in private and public, their lives have been far from easy. This past week, the Orsillos lost their granddaughter, Avalynn Hope Wallace, to her fight with leukemia. They have lost businesses and watched fire take their house, and each time their faith ha...2019-10-1455 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 026: Further Up & Farther In with Nathan TaylorMax welcomes Nathan Taylor to the show this week. Nathan is a staff member and urban missionary serving at The Father's House Church in Oroville. Like Max, Nathan and his wife moved down to Oroville from Canada, choosing to leave behind successful businesses and ministries in the process. The Taylors have been in Oroville for five years now. Max and Nathan discuss their similar journeys, and Max tries to glean some wisdom from Nathan's successes and trials.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 025: Real Life Accountability with Derek DevineAccountability is a commonly heard buzz word in Christian circles, but defining what it looks like can be difficult. Most of us know that following Christ is not something that we can do in isolation, but beyond that, there is not much that is agreed upon. Generally speaking, being open and honest with personal struggles is not something that comes easy to Christians in the West, and the news is littered with tales of leaders who have fallen without accountability. Derek Devine joins the show to discuss the brand of accountability he was introduced to when he...2019-09-3051 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 024: Overcoming Victim CultureIn recent years, Western society has become enmeshed in a narrative that defines a person or group's value based on their perceived victim status. We find ourselves in a cultural moment that seems to elevate how much someone has been oppressed, slighted or marginalized. The consequence seems to be a heightened sense of individual entitlement, bitterness and selfishness. In contrast, Jesus and the Christians of the early Church represent quite the opposite. Despite real persecution, none of these played the "victim card." Today in the Church we are in danger of weakening our testimony as we go...2019-09-2345 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 023: Truth in a Post-Truth CultureChristians, by definition, are followers of Christ. One of the ways the Jesus described Himself was as Truth embodied; He is the way, the truth and the life. We might not realize it, but this is a radical claim. Claiming to be the incarnation of Truth is a big deal. Yet today, the more radical part of this claim might be the assertion that something called truth actually exists. We live in a culture and time that has left truth behind. Feelings, relativism and opinions are more important than ever. After all, as the saying goes, "Just...2019-09-1649 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 022: Fighting for FaithIn today's day and age, Christianity is increasingly seen as easy, simple and undemanding. In a world that prioritizes selfishness and ease, the Christian faith in the West is gradually becoming more self-centered while asking less of its adherents. However, all it takes is a quick glance through the New Testament to see that we have taken a wrong turn somewhere. We all want to grow in our faith and take hold of eternal life, but are we willing to give up something to get them? Jesus called those who would follow Him to lay down their...2019-09-0955 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 021: Relating to Jesus: Doing vs. BeingRecently, a listener left a review for the show that was less than glowing. This listener was concerned that the subject matter of The Uncommon Truth was focused more on, "Doing" rather than, "Being." In other words, too much discussion of what we should be doing for Jesus and not enough talk of resting in Jesus. Instead of speaking less of what believers need to be working towards, Steve's view is that Christians should be focusing more and more on manifesting the work Jesus did on earth. However, this work needs to be motivated by what Jesus has...2019-09-0250 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 020: Geordie's Journey with Geordie & Stef MumbyThe focus of the Uncommon Truth has always been a diligent search for Christianity authentically lived out. Nothing fits that description better than the lives of Geordie and Stefanie Mumby. Since The Uncommon Truth debuted in April, Geordie has been a regular co-host of the show. It was around that same time that he received a dire cancer diagnosis. Rather than sink into despair or victimhood, both Geordie and Stefanie have focused on serving and loving Jesus. It is a recognition that authentic Christianity has very little to do with what Jesus can offer them, and much...2019-08-2650 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 019: Focusing on Forgiveness with Chloe Wellsand Wrapping up a loose series on the uncomfortable sayings of Jesus, Max is joined by Chloe Wellsand to discuss the sometimes overlooked topic of forgiveness. Chloe comes from near Cardiff in Wales, UK and is on pastoral staff at The Father’s House. Her work includes prayer ministry and teaching in the School of Transformation, and her hometown—The Vale of Glamorgan—is also the hometown of some of the elves from the Lord of the Rings (probably).

The Uncommon TruthUCT 018: Saying Yes to Jesus with Danielle DevineThe Uncommon Truth got off the ground in the beginning when Max pitched the idea of a podcast to Danielle Devine in the business office at The Father's House Church. Now, a few months later, Danielle joins to share some stories about her time in the ministry. As Steve and Vicki Orsillo's youngest daughter, Danielle has been involved in the ministry since the age of 4, so she's seen it all.

Specifically, the conversation centers...2019-08-0547 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 016: Kingdom on Earth & People on the MoonIn a new segment, Max welcomes School of Transformation teacher and alum Jessica Zeppi to talk about her experience in the school and her journey at The Father's House.

The Uncommon TruthUCT 015: No More Mr. Nice Jesus with Johnny BowersMax is joined in studio by special guest Johnny Bowers. Johnny shares about how he found Jesus at The Father's House and the School of Transformation after years as the frontman for a heavy metal band. The discussion centers around the ways in which we often mischaracterize Jesus in the West. The commonplace view of Jesus is as a passive, inoffensive teacher who never crossed anyone. However, reading the New Testament shows a much different picture. How does our view of Jesus effect how we live our lives? Do misconceptions surrounding Jesus harm our relationship with Him...2019-07-2244 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 014: Counting the Cost of DiscipleshipIn the final episode the series on discipleship, Max and Steve explore the cost of following Jesus. Many Christians have found themselves following Jesus without ever being warned of what that entails. Steve points out that the life of discipleship is not just for “super Christians”; discipleship is actually just regular Christianity. When considering what it takes to follow Jesus, the obvious verses about carrying your cross and leaving your family are often cited. Steve goes beyond the obvious, however. He makes the point that the cost of following Jesus is paid in almost every aspect of your...2019-07-1551 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 013: Leaders Making DisciplesMax and Steve look at the topic of discipleship from the perspective of those doing the discipling. One of the reasons Max and his family moved from Canada to The Father's House Church was because of the level of discipleship. From community living, accountability, mentorship and self sacrifice, both the methods and the results were extraordinary. What does it take to guide people into real relationship with Jesus and the life change that comes from that? What does it take as leaders to live lives that inspire people to follow? All this and more as Max seeks t...2019-07-0848 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 011: Discipleship in Real LifeMax and Steve continue the series on discipleship this week. If a disciple is an imitator of Jesus, or literally an identical twin, then how do we get there? Where do we even start? How do we do discipleship in real life? Steve outlines several simple New Testament principles for becoming more and more like Jesus. Submission and surrender are not popular ideals in the West, yet scripture seems to indicate that they are necessary for discipleship. Even more uncommon is the idea that we are supposed to follow and imitate fellow humans who represent Christ well. 2019-06-2450 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 010: The Definition of a DiscipleIn his final moments on earth, Jesus commanded his followers to engage in the practice of making disciples. This command is what we like to call, “the great commission,” today, and most of us could even quote it verbatim. Yet a definition of terms is necessary to make sure our way of making disciples today matches with what Jesus had in mind. In this episode, the first in a multi-part series on discipleship, Max and Steve start with the basics: what is the definition of a disciple? Is a disciple just the title given to someone who has b...2019-06-1751 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 009: Measuring Success in the ChurchWhen it comes to measuring success, whether in church, business or life in general, it is important to understand what constitutes success. In today's Christianity in North America, the churches and ministries we consider successful are usually the ones with the largest followings. In other words, our standard for what we deem successful is not that different from what our Western culture calls success. In this episode, Max and Steve talk about how consumerism and a worldly success model have impacted how we minister. Is there more to the story of success than just attendance numbers, building size...2019-06-1044 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 008: Community & IndependenceIn the West, and in North America especially, our culture has elevated individual independence to new levels. When we look at that through our 21st Century, Western worldview that does not seem like anything to be concerned about. However, how does that effect the way we as Christians represent Jesus to the rest of the world? Jesus calls Christians to be unified with Him, the Father, the Holy Spirit and each other. Yet we find ourselves scattered, living outside of Christian community and depending on no one but ourselves. Max is joined again by Geordie Mumby to dis...2019-06-0347 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 007: The Role of BelieversMax and Steve discuss a practical question of church structure this week on The Uncommon Truth. In North America, the Church seems to have a hard line between ministry and vocational work. In other words, most people think they have to choose between dedicating their lives to either working in the marketplace or serving in full time ministry. The work of Jesus’ commission is left to a select few while the rest of the Body of Christ is excluded or apathetic. Max asks Steve what the bible says, focusing on Paul’s letter to the Ephesian...2019-05-2749 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 006: Why Does Jesus Live In Us?After his resurrection, Jesus promised to send his disciples His Holy Spirit. He actually commanded them to wait for this before doing anything else. Fast forward to the present day and believers still have access to the same Spirit, however, do we depend on Him? While we are familiar with some of what the Spirit does, many in the Western Church have a hard time identifying the reason why Jesus sent us his Spirit in the first place. Is the Holy Spirit meant to be our sidekick, helping us accomplish whatever we put our minds to? Is there...2019-05-2050 min

The Uncommon TruthUCT 004: The Uncommon Truth About SalvationAs Christians, there are few topics more important than what we believe about salvation. The problem is, there seems to be a lot of confusion on the subject in the Church today. Have you ever read the words of Jesus in the gospels and left feeling confused? Why is that? Max is joined by Steve Orsillo, pastor of The Father's House Church in Oroville to get a little more clarity. Steve outlines how he faced that same confusion as a new believer, and how he eventually recognized and overcame it. Along the way the discussion covers common misco...2019-05-0638 min
