Ever felt a quiet nudge that wouldn’t let go? We dive into how those whispers become world-shaping moments when you dare to obey, featuring Pastor Condon of Infinite Church and the riveting backstory behind his new book, Endless Possibilities. From worship ministry to church planting, he walks us through the messy, human process of discerning God’s voice as ideas and instincts—and the bold choices that turn vision into reality.

When the pandemic shut their rented venue, a stunning opportunity surfaced: a $3 million facility they couldn’t afford. Instead of scaling the dream down to a down payment, they asked for the full miracle. The church rallied for 30 days, “fell short” on paper, and then watched a neighboring congregation initiate a merger, the seller accept a creative offer, and a seven-figure gift arrive just days before closing. The result? A debt-free facility and a community renewed in courage. It’s a masterclass in faith leadership, resource mobilization, and practical obedience under pressure.

We also explore how creativity springs from trust. A simple nudge led to the song “Cover Me,” which went on to impact millions—evidence that small acts can ripple far beyond our plans. Along the way, we offer clear takeaways for pastors, planters, and everyday believers: how to test a nudge, why faith often looks illogical, how to push past analysis paralysis, and how to surround yourself with people who expand your faith. If you’re sitting on a dream—start the church, buy the building, teach the study—this conversation will help you take the next step with confidence.

Ready to move from whisper to action? Listen now, share this with someone who needs courage today, and subscribe so you never miss these faith-stirring conversations. If this spoke to you, leave a review and tell us the one bold step you’re taking this week.

We love to hear from our listeners! Thank you!

And oh, we had such a wonderful time at the first Pentecostal church with Pastor Fraser and his family. So excited about the revival that's taking place in Jackson, Mississippi. Excited about what God is doing in these last days all across North America and the world. And to be a part of this great kingdom mission. Equipping millions to reach billions. And I do want to just uh give a quick reminder. If you did not have the opportunity to um get connected with last week's Apostolic Mentoring Session with Sister Gonzalez. Oh my goodness, you have got to go back on to YouTube or Facebook and connect with that session. It was incredibly powerful. Just such an incredible move of the spirit at the end. Tremendous kingdom critical revelation. And again, just please go back and watch that. And share, share that episode. And I know that it's going to be a blessing to every single one of you. I also want to ask you to be in prayer for my uh family over the next couple weeks. My youngest daughter, Brie, and I will leave tomorrow, uh or leave right after apostolic mentoring for Canada.

Introducing Pastor Condon And New Book

SPEAKER_01

Her and I will be there until Monday morning. And then I'll fly home Monday afternoon and leave for Mongolia with Sister Robinet. So please keep praying for our family as we travel. And then of course um pray for our great crusade team that's joining us, boots on the ground in Mongolia in just a week's time. We've got 34 team members meeting us in Mongolia. And God is going to give us a great, great harvest amongst the Trinitarians in that nation. So please pray for the Doherty family, the missionaries that are there. And pray for the team that's traveling. But today we are just incredibly excited about our guest. I've been wanting to have this great man of God on Apostolic Mentoring for quite a while. He pastors the infinite church right here in New Albany, uh, Ohio. I literally can ride my bike to his church. I've actually ridden my bike to his church. Uh like once. One time. That's not a regular occurrence for me. That type of exercise is not a regular occurrence for me. Matter of fact, one time I drove, we we rode our bikes past his church, and I didn't even know it until afterwards. But we we are so thankful for this man of God and his ministry. And we, uh Brother Condon and I have had the privilege to do a few conferences together in the last couple years. Casting the Nets conference we've done together. We've also done the Maine District UPCI camp meeting together. Every time that Brother Condon and I get to be together is an incredible blessing to our family. And he is such a gift uh from God to his global church. But he has just dropped a brand spanking new book that we're gonna promote today. The book is called Endless Possibilities. And it is a great book. I want you to get this book. It's on Amazon. I'm gonna put the link in every social media platform. So you'll be able to see it on Facebook, YouTube, I'll even put a promo out on Instagram later today. But we love this man of God and we love his ministry. And thank God for everything he's done for the Church of the Living God around the world. Brother Condon, thank you for being with us today. Please take your liberty, do whatever you want to do, and we're just thrilled to have you here.

Learning To Hear God’s Nudges

SPEAKER_02

Thank you so much for the honor and privilege of being with everybody today. Certainly love and appreciate the Robinet family and their impact on the kingdom. Yeah. So yeah, um, we actually did um a motorcycle conference. I can't remember what the correct name was, but I remember I remember that too. So that was that was interesting. Yeah. So uh yeah, I just want to share, I guess, a little bit about um what's going on in uh our ministry. Uh 11 years ago, we just celebrated 11 years. And we will celebrate Infinite Church in New Albany. And uh and it's just been quite a journey to say the least. I would imagine some of you know, maybe some of you don't know. Uh that I was very involved in the worship music industry for years. So planting a church was a di a big reach and step of faith for me. And uh it was a nudge. And so when I talk about the nudge, um, I'm really talking about those whispers from God, the voice of God that he kind of shares with us. All of my life, uh, I've grown up in the church. And I would hear people say, God told me to do this, God told me to do that, and I would envy that. Because I wanted to hear the voice of God for myself. I would like to tell you I learned how to do that early on in my ministry. But it was actually a couple years into pastoring infinite church that I began to really recognize how God would speak to me. And I don't I can't say this is how God speaks to everybody, but I'm pretty confident this is the way that God speaks to most of us. Through nudges or whispers. Which I would also break down even more into ideas or intuition or instinct. I would get frustrated growing up because you know people would I they would hear the voice of God over everything. And I felt like I must not be as spiritual as I should be, because I don't I don't hear this voice like they seem to hear it. But I began to realize that God had been speaking to me my entire life. I just didn't recognize it.

SPEAKER_00

Simply reconnaissais pas.

Planting Infinite Church By Faith

SPEAKER_02

But God would plant ideas in my heart to do, whether it was writing a song, whether it was, you know, uh doing something that was kingdom forward, and uh and I started to realize that those ideas come from God. I don't believe all ideas come from God. The enemy can plant ideas. But when these ideas move the kingdom forward, when they encourage, when they bless, then I would say most often those ideas are God speaking to us. So for me, the idea of planting infinite church or that starting that ministry was God speaking to me. I knew that he was speaking to me as far as I knew that this was what God wanted. But you know, oftentimes I'm like, God, I need I need a real clear voice. And so we we took what I would call a nudge, an idea, and we acted upon that. We obeyed that nudge. And here's what I believe everybody should know or ought to know, and that is there are blessings on the other side of obedience. I believe that God has so much more for all of us if we would just learn to lean in and obey those nudges. And then all of a sudden they text you back and say you have no idea how timely this encouragement was. And and and God has always blessed faith. Our salvation is based upon faith, or it's the on-ramp to salvation, all the good things that God wants to do in every one of our ministries. Go ahead. So we were about five years into planning infinite church. We were meeting in a local middle school in our area. And then COVID hit. And we got kicked out of school and had no place to go with several hundred people. So as a result, I began to ask God, where are we gonna go? How is this gonna work? What's gonna happen? So someone told us about a building in New Albany. It was a beautiful facility. And uh they wanted three million dollars for this building. They might as well told me it was three hundred million dollars. Because we had we had nowhere near that kind of money. So uh, but I begin to pray in my office, God, how can we get this building? How can we come up with this kind of money? And I believe that God gave me the nudge to say we're gonna raise three million dollars in 30 days. I don't care what country you're from, that's a lot of money. So I walked in from my office where I am right now into our living room, and I told Carol, who's my wife, I said, uh, we're gonna raise three million dollars. I believe that God wants us to raise three million dollars in 30 days.

SPEAKER_00

Don't sort of my recollection$3 million in 30 days.

SPEAKER_02

So at beginning, I'll back up a little bit. Beginning, I was trying to figure out how we would come up with a down payment to be able to purchase this building, which would have been$600,000.

SPEAKER_00

Don't revenue, I mean an account for this battery that was$600.

SPEAKER_02

And I believe God spoke to me and said, Why don't you ask for the full three million and not six hundred thousand?

SPEAKER_00

And I think the Senior must say, but the three million and pas seulement six hundred million dollars.

SPEAKER_02

Either one, I'm sorry, either one would be a miracle, so why don't you ask God for the full miracle and not limit yourself to the little part of the miracle that you feel like we need? So that's when I can't walk out and told Carol, we're gonna raise three million dollars in thirty days. I've personally never heard of God doing something like that of anybody I know personally.

SPEAKER_00

Personally, this was June 1st of 2020.

SPEAKER_02

So I um I put out on Facebook that hey, we're gonna raise, and I told our church we're gonna raise three million dollars in 30 days. Well, at the end of 30 days we didn't succeed.

SPEAKER_00

After 30 jours on a party.

COVID Crisis And The Building Challenge

SPEAKER_02

We had raised$648,000. Over the summer we've raised a little bit more money. And so we decided okay, well maybe that's what God wanted. Um, and we'll just see if we can get financing and finance the rest. After months and months of working on getting the financing ready. Uh we uh we were set to close on I believe it was November 8. Eight days before closing. I get a call from a uh a pastor in his congregation who wanted to merge with our congregation. So they began visiting our our we were meeting outside our parking lot during the time at that time. And so I uh began to talk to them about you know them being a part of infinite church. And so I made an offer on the building for uh$2.1 million.

SPEAKER_00

Don't you feel an offer for the batiment for$2 million?

SPEAKER_02

With an$800,000 charitable receipt, or meaning they would give credit for their for their own finances for$800,000 as like a donation. They agreed to this. That's when I got a call from this pastor who said that they had voted for uh to join our church. They said one more thing, we need to tell you that we're sending over a check today for$1,470,000. So we wound up paying cash for our very first facility.

SPEAKER_00

Don't have to pay cash for the premier battery.

SPEAKER_02

Now we only had sixty thousand dollars total when we started.

SPEAKER_00

Don't debut on a simpler.

The $3 Million In 30 Days Nudge

SPEAKER_02

But God gave us the nudge that sounded absolutely ridiculous. Faith is typically not logical. God asked us to step out and do bold things that oftentimes don't seem logical. I ensure that sitting on this call and people listening have many things that just seem like it's too big for us. Billions of souls probably seem ridiculous. And we can get criticized for having or at least verbalizing big things that don't make sense. You're gonna make yourself look bad, you're gonna make the church look bad, you're gonna make God look bad. Don't do that. But we were desperate. And I have found that desperation is a great time to have faith. If God nudges, it's not your job to sit there and try to figure out if it makes sense. It's your job to obey what God is nudging you to do. Because on the other side of that obedience are endless possibilities. But we wound up writing a check and sending it out that day. It was a nudge. That's all it was. It was a nudge. It was an idea. And it was only a matter of a couple of weeks later that God gave me the song Cover Me. And as a result of that, it's had millions of views, and people's lives all around the world have been impacted by what was really just a simple nudge.

SPEAKER_00

And the million person on the monotony are impacted by the law and it's just the result of a petite impulse.

SPEAKER_02

And I have so many more examples, and this book uh that uh Brother Robin was talking about, is is filled with these moments of nudges when God speaks to you, you obey. It doesn't, it's not your job to quantify it or figure out. Is this, you know, is this really make sense? It's your job to obey. When we planted Infinite Church 11 years ago, we uh had no clue of what to expect. But as a result of that, we've never gone one Sunday in 11 years where we've not had first time guests walk through our doors. We've seen over 370 some people baptized in the last 11 years. We now have three services every Sunday.

SPEAKER_00

Now, three services.

Setback, Merger Surprise, And Cash Purchase

Bold Faith Beats Logic

SPEAKER_02

When I talk about endless possibilities, that's what I'm talking about, is we have no clue how much God really wants to do through our lives, through your lives, through your ministries. There are little nudges every day of your life that God is trying to use you through, and he's waiting for us to do bold things. God honors bold faith. So it's our responsibility every day to lean into those ideas, especially ideas that move the kingdom forward. So I just want to challenge everybody today. Let God use you to step out and do what's crazy and almost sounds ridiculous. I believe that the greatest miracles are in front of us. And he's looking for each one of you to step out on bold faith. And I think we all need to realize it's not really about us. It's not about our qualifications or our skills or our talents or our resources. But you need to understand that God wants to use you. And he wants to use you in such extraordinary ways. So remember the story about the little lad that had the sack looks among thousands and thousands of people. And actually they were right. Until it went into the Lord's hands. Until you put your life in the Lord's hands. That's endless possibilities. That's what God does when we step out and obey Him. And it just keeps blowing my mind. Find people that have faith. Because if we need anything, we need a revelation of how big God really is. Because there is no telling what God wants to do in each and every one of your ministries. I don't know exactly what all you need to do to end this. But I want to pray over everybody that's on this call or listens later, all right? Father, we love you. We thank you for your goodness. Multiply us, Lord.

SPEAKER_00

Multiply-no, Seigneur.

SPEAKER_02

Keep us from evil that we may not disappoint anybody. Put your hand upon everybody, God, that's out to honor you with their faith. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Amen.

Song “Cover Me” And Obedient Creativity

SPEAKER_01

Brother Robin. Thank you, Brother Condon. Wow. My heart is leaping inside of my chest right now. And I am I feel such an impartation of faith in this call today. I don't know what God has been nudging somebody to do. And you have felt the nudge. You were not ignorant of the nudge. But you begun to question the nudge. And you prepared a full document of all the reasons why the nudge wouldn't work. But you better hear the word of God today. God honors bold faith, and bold faith honors God. Just move forward. Just buy the property. Just plant the church. Just have the revival. Just teach the Bible study. As Pastor Condon was talking, the Lord just prompted me to Mark chapter 16, of course. It's hard for me to get away from this. But I just felt bold faith just prompted me to Mark chapter 16 again. Verse 17 says this. And these signs shall follow them that believe. In my name shall they cast out devils. That's bold faith. They shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents. And if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. This is bold, bold faith. Then I remembered that Daniel chapter 11 and verse 32 as I was sitting here. Just a simple statement at the latter part of that verse. It said, But the people that do know their God shall be strong. The people that do know their God shall be strong.

SPEAKER_00

And do exploits.

Eleven Years Of Fruit And Multiplication

SPEAKER_01

You gotta do something. Not talk about something. And it was talking about the conundrum of analysis-paralysis. When you get a word from God and you over-analyze it until you do nothing. I'm OCD, I like things straight, organized, structured. I say amen three times in a row on the chat. If I don't, I start itching. But you can overanalyze and paralyze every prophetic word of God. When God speaks, you better obey. Not when you've counted the cost. Not when you've got everything lined up and you're sure it's gonna work. Faith doesn't flinch. Faith doesn't analyze. And God will always honor your bold faith.

SPEAKER_00

Stop talking.

SPEAKER_01

Start doing negotiating and just have faith in God.

SPEAKER_00

Don't dumb down the prophecy.

SPEAKER_01

Don't make the prophecy more palatable. Don't be silent. Don't be afraid of the naysayers. What a great word we've received here today. This was a kingdom critical word. And God is speaking specifically to his global army. Stop saying God's been talking to me about starting this church and go start the church. Today is the day. This is the moment. God is with us. And nobody can be against us. Thank you, Pastor Condon.

SPEAKER_00

Merci, Pastor Condon.

SPEAKER_01

We love you, sir. Thank you. It's our honor to have you here today. Don't forget, go to Amazon right now and get the book Endless Possibilities by Pastor Condon. I know they already put the link in the Facebook chat. I saw it there. But somebody repost that link right now in the chat for me. And it would be such a blessing to Brother Condon. If everybody would just take that photo of his book that I put in the chat here on Zoom. And put out a social media post and encourage all of your friends, family members to go get endless possibilities. And I'm asking all of the apostolic mentoring family members to do the same. Bless you all.

SPEAKER_02

God bless everyone.

SPEAKER_01

I love you. Love you all. God bless you. See you next Tuesday. Bye bye. Thank you.
