Welcome to Renaissance Voices. My name is Kristene ODell, owner of 8 Owls Publishing. Have you ever wanted to get to know the authors behind the books you read? I have! I’m fascinated by the way Jesus moves in the lives of real people with real stories who have met a real Savior in their time of need. It’s these types of authors I love to work with and it’s my privilege to introduce them to you.

Season 2 - Episode 3

by Kristene O'Dell

We are thrilled to interview Nathan Horton as we discuss the various aspects of faith and what it means to partner with God. We also get into a brief dialogue about the role of the Five-fold ministry Teacher. Nathan is both highly prophetic and a strong teacher. And He knows that a great teacher takes difficult subject matter and brings simplicity and clarity so that others can easily understand.

Time Stamps:

3:19: Faith is about a relationship with the Lord. It’s not a list of do’s and don’ts. God is not a list; He is a person. We don’t have a relationship with a rock of rules. We have a relationship with a living, breathing, thinking, emotional person who has a mindset and a desire for our lives.

3:41: Faith is basically learning how He moves, how He speaks, how He operates, and trusting that He is a God who does not lie–that He is for us and not against us.

4:13: Your understanding of who God is gives you vision. Faith sees the promises, it may just not be available in the natural realm. But because you know who God is–you see beyond your current circumstances.

5:53: Because God is relational, there is a process to walking in faith. It is not a formula.

6:00 God calls us into partnership with Him.

13:27: In this success driven culture, we think success even in the things of God looks a certain way. But God calls success something very different–He says it is being faithful to Him through all of life’s experiences.

17:00: Nathan partnered with a grace that He had not experienced before in writing this book. While dealing with Covid, he completed the Process of Faith in a week and a half.

23:40: This book breaks down the elements of living a faith-filled life so that you can find some practical application in how to do it.

23:57: A good teacher takes difficult things and brings simplicity and clarity into the mix so that others know how to take the next step forward.

27:58: The role of a teacher is not to tell you what to believe. It’s to give you something to believe in.
