MT4Christ.com Announcement

Hello, welcome to the MT for Christ 247 podcast with M.t. Clark. I'm here for an announcement. Um, earlier today I launched a website, um, called mtforchrist.com, and I thought I'd share a video, uh, with me checking it out because I designed it myself, so Yikes. Anyway, let's take a look. I'm going to share my screen so you can see. As you can see, it is emptyforchrist.com. I also have the blog still emptyforchrist.org. Basically, we'll probably migrate that to the new website eventually. And I'm listing here my, my potential business, my business in the future. Um, M.t. for Christ Community Freedom Ministry. Uh, that name is already on my business cards from, uh, Freedom in Christ Ministry. So that was the name of the, the name I gave my community freedom ministry when I taught at the Rock Solid Church. And so we're going to take the business cards and run with it. Uh, anyway, why mtforchrist.com? Well, um, I wanted to establish a website that was a little better than just the Blogger site, maybe get more traffic. And I made my own, you know, that's a lovely logo right there. And we have a— and I used a lot of the stuff from the template, so with minor editing, so forgive me and be patient. But we have a commitment to faith, freedom, hope, and joy. And with God, all things are possible. I'll have to correct that, edit. We have a passion filled with faith, hope, and joy. Our commitment is to make Christ known and to encourage others to follow him into the new life only Jesus can provide. And what will we provide at mtforchrist.com exactly? Freedom appointments. Um, I am a trained encourager from, uh, Freedom in Christ Ministries, uh, Community Freedom Ministry Associate. And so I I plan on doing a prayer ministry and life coaching practice or service, and Freedom Appointments would be a part of that, leading, you know, discipling people through the Freedom in Christ course, presumably, and leading them through the Steps to Freedom in Christ, um, where you can experience the freedom of forgiveness and the restoration of repentance. And I would also offer continuous support with recovery, spiritual formation, and life disciple, uh, Christian Discipleship, life coaching. It's going to be a life coaching, uh, site, uh, and basically an emotional healing prayer ministry. I didn't want to say healing ministry or healing prayer ministry, um, although, you know, I don't do physical healings, although people have reported good results from Freedom appointments, including reduction in pain, but I'm not going to guarantee any physical healings, but emotional healings I've seen, and I can't guarantee those either, but I've seen the Lord work through prayer ministry. And I've been trained in and guided the manual prayer type of ministry called Real Prayer, and it's sort of a blending of different styles of prayer ministry that have become trained in, and I would offer that someday. And consulting, uh, experience the fusion of imagination and biblical principles for living. So I would consult with whoever, whatever. I've done, um, well, it's wide open in terms of consulting, let's just put it that way. I've done volunteer work, I've done telecommunications work, I've done I've done mental health work. I am a certified mental health coach through Light University. I'm working on being a certified life coach with Light University as well. Um, I have a master's degree in Christian counseling and from Christian Vision, uh, Vision Christian Bible College and Seminary. And so I bring all these, these skills and educational subsets to consult wherever I'm called. And I've done freedom ministry, recovery ministry, worked with suicide prevention, crisis management. So I could consult on a few things. What do we also offer? Well, we are— we offer an array of resources here. Encouraging Words, original Bible studies, authored by Arthur Cinkaty. Uh, a word of thought-provoking— world of thought-provoking articles or encouragements, um, practical Christian living advice, and inspiring testimonies. Or at least I'm inspired by them. Um, and so, and the blog's here. Um, it looks a little different. I don't know how people encounter the blog. I know on Blogger it looks a little different, but basically Right here, all the blog has been moved over to this site, and the blogger at mt4christ.org still exists at this point, but we'll probably integrate both at one, one point or another. Watch, read, and listen. And if we go in, I'm going to go to one of the ones that were imported, just take a look. And as you can see, they did import all the information. Although, you know, like I said, they imported it, so it's a little different. Bold came out as white text and non-bold came out as black text. So I appreciate your patience with that. I'm hopefully going to leave those imported ones alone. So just know that the white text means it was highlighted. And, uh, let's see, can we go back? Let's go, let's go back. There we go. We're right back, right back to the top. And today's announcement. Hello world. Hello world. I just wanted to announce a new website, mtforchrist.com. Its purpose will eventually be to offer Christian life coaching, freedom, healing, prayer ministry services. Uh, so that's why it's dot-com. I would charge a fee, uh, basically for those services and the consulting, um, whatever I'm called to do, um, in addition to my regular ministry of encouragement that I provided through mtforchrist.org and the MT for Christ 247 podcast and YouTube channel. Um, the Lord led me to take this first step that we hope will result in many people coming to experience the joy of experiencing their freedom and healing in Christ. And so that's, that's, that's what that's all about. I'm gonna like it and see what happens. I like it. I liked it anyway. Um, and then I, I just finished creating another page, and it's— if you click on it, it takes you to the M.t. Clark 247 channel playlist on YouTube. Uh, M.t. Clark teachings and other resources to encourage your faith. And this is the Empty for Christ video library. This is only a small portion. Uh, my intention is to send, you know, they do say like 1 to 200 plus, so it should be a playlist, you know. So if you go to a playlist, it's in the right-hand corner. But welcome to a world of limitless possibilities where the journey of Christian discipleship leads to encouragement, hope, and freedom. We hope that you will enjoy these playlists of teachings, encouragements, Bible studies, and other resources that we produced or enjoyed compiling while we were walking and talking with God. And, um, you know, this first one is the Empty for Christ 247 podcast, all the ones we have on YouTube. Uh, the next one is our Celebrate Freedom discipleship course that we taught last year, uh, 2023. Uh, that's original. Came from me and my master's thesis, edited from its original version. So this is sort of the, uh, edited version of that. This is a series we did called, um, well, it's on self-deception. It was from basically just regular, uh, our regular daily podcast, uh, that was directed in a certain, certain direction, uh, answering the questions of self-deception. So that's there. There's a Freedom in Christ course that I did podcast in 2021. It's an audio teaching, uh, but that one I, I just did a podcast of, um, um, whereas the Victory Over the Darkness series that we did in 2021 and the Bondage series, uh, Bondage Breaker series that we did in 2021 were, um, both, um, were both done live at Loxahala Church in Hudson. We have two different playlists for the Bible Study with the Tsimkhanis series that we've done. We have the first— the first one I have listed here is the Zoom video sessions. We started as a podcast and we ended up doing Zoom sessions. There's 106 episodes on a playlist basically of those. However, there's even more, 143 of the entire series of the Bible study, the Vissinkatis. And so if you want to check that out, that's there. This is, uh, the next one is, uh, Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Discipleship. That's my walkthrough and PowerPoint presentation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's original Discipleship, or some people know it as The Cost of Discipleship book, where I and Peter Markiewicz started the series, and then the had too much seminary work to do, and it just ended up me, uh, being me. 19 episodes of that to get through Dietrich Bonhoeffer's work, um, and with my PowerPoint presentation. So forgive me. Uh, and then we have, um, uh, this, this year's, um, um, Lent series that we did, 40-Day Journey with Martin Luther. Uh, basically you went through a book called 40-Day Journey with Martin Luther on the podcast. Here's a promotional video I did for What Is Celebrate Freedom, which is the recovery discipleship ministry that we do at Starpoint Church. And then there was— let's see, this was the 2023 Lent series, that 40-Day Journey with Diedrich Bonhoeffer that we were inspired to do a little after the fact. As you can see, there's only 38 episodes. I think I missed the gun on that one. Sort of spontaneous. And here's a testimony of me speaking about my trip to— my mission trip to Africa in 2016 at Rock Solid Church. That's fun. Um, and there's a little bit more of me then. And then there's the, uh, the Statements of Truth series that we've done. And so that's all the videos we— all the videos we shared thus far on the page. We might add more. Um, I think we're going to add the playlist that we enjoy listening to is just music. I didn't produce it, but I like it for Christian Walk. It's the Empty for Christ 24/7, uh, Empty for Christ playlist. But, but that's the blog. Um, it's a work in progress, as is— as am I. Um, I'm pretty— you know what, it's— it was— I'm so glad I did it. It was so much fun, uh, putting it together, although rather frustrating, I must admit. Um, but It's— I think it looks— I think it looks nicer than the old site. And if you don't agree, you know, we'll remind you by going there. Let's see, we'll stop sharing our screen for a moment. I'll figure out how to use a web browser on the other side. And we'll go to the original. M.t. Clark's dot org. Must already did it. Oh, well, I struggle, so this has got to be great video right now. There it is. Uh, sorry, you can't see that, but I, I, I'm, I'm enjoying it, but that's like But I still stand by the logo. I love it because it's symbolic. Like I said, it's mtforchrist.org. That's our original blog website. If you want to check that one out, it's out there. You should know about it if you're watching this on YouTube. Anyway, that's encouragement for the path of Christian discipleship with me, M.t. Clark. And the whole idea is that it's heart-focused discipleship. And, uh, it's filled with light. That's the sun, or, you know, God the Sun, the light of joy. Um, and obviously the brown thing behind the heart is the cross on which everything hangs, uh, including our freedom. And if you didn't know, you know, basically on the mobile app you can't see these categories, but, you know, I have all these tags, uh, you know, for different things. And of course, today's announcement about us. Um, so, and today's message too. So, um, anyway, um, that still exists. I'm not sure how long. I might discontinue it, I might keep it. Um, I really enjoy the new site, but, um, that's that. Anyway, that's my announcement, uh, about mtforchrist.com. Uh, we hope you check it out. And I think on this, on the new website, you can like subscribe to subscribe to get the messages on a daily basis, whereas I don't know if it was as apparent on Blogger, or maybe no one followed, I don't know. Um, but we think it's a better, uh, better product, a better website that we have now, and we're going to use it. And one day, you know, like I said, we plan on using it for prayer ministry and Christian, Christian, uh, life coaching, not counseling. I'm not a licensed therapist, uh, or clinician or psychologist. I have a degree in Christian, uh, Christian counseling from a non-accredited school, so licensing will be an uphill battle if, if at all possible. But, uh, so I'll be a life coach, um, and a prayer minister someday, um, possibly someday soon. So stay tuned, and we appreciate anyone who's listening or reading our messages on a daily basis or even on a semi-regular basis. Ours is a, a ministry of encouragement. It encourages me, uh, in my walk of faith. And, uh, the reason I do it is because the Lord set me free, and, uh, I want as many people to know who they are in Christ and experience their freedom in Christ, because I never knew this thing was possible. And because I now know it's possible, and how good our lives can be when we are dedicated to following the Lord's will, um, by being disciples of Jesus Christ, that, um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna post about it and talk about it and write about it until the day I die or the day Jesus comes back, whatever happens first. And in the meantime, I want to help as many people as I can, um, to, to know who they are in Christ and to be set free. So, uh, thank you all, and you have a good night. Bye.
