In this episode of Signs & Shadows, Bud sits down with JR Rennie, founder of BrushFires Ministry, to discuss discipleship, biblical prophecy, spiritual warfare, and the rapidly advancing world of artificial intelligence.

JR spent nearly 40 years leading a successful business software company before God redirected his life in 2015 toward a new mission. Through spiritual prompting and guidance, he founded BrushFires Ministry, a ministry dedicated to helping believers discover their God-given purpose and calling.

Drawing from his experience building unified teams in the business world, JR developed tools and workshops that help believers identify their strengths, discover their calling, and step into the role God created them to fulfill.

During this conversation we explore several key truths about the Christian walk:

• The Church must return to true biblical discipleship • We can only please God through faith and obedience • Obedience to our God-given calling produces joy and fulfillment • Every person was created to serve humanity in some way • Every believer has a ministry they can be a part of

The discussion also moves into deeper territory as Bud and JR talk about artificial intelligence and emerging technology.

As a longtime software developer, JR explains why AI represents something fundamentally different from previous inventions and raises questions about its possible spiritual implications.

Together they discuss:

• Artificial intelligence and its rapid development • AI systems creating their own communication methods • The potential impact of blockchain identity systems • Spiritual warfare in a technological age • Why believers must rely on God's guidance in a rapidly changing world

JR also shares insights from his book “Sparks Turn Into BrushFires” and the BrushFires Design Workshop, a program designed to help believers discover and walk in their God-given destiny.

At the heart of this episode is a powerful reminder:

We can only please God through faith and obedience, and true joy is found when we walk in the purpose He created us for.

JR Rennie is the founder of BrushFires Ministry, a discipleship ministry dedicated to helping believers discover their God-given purpose and calling.

After nearly four decades leading a business software company, JR experienced a powerful redirection in his life in 2015 that led him to launch BrushFires Ministry and begin equipping believers to discover their strengths, their calling, and their place in God’s plan.

Addiction is often seen as a moral failure. A weakness. A lack of discipline.

But what if the real battle isn’t chemical… but spiritual?

Kimberly was raised in a Christian home and genuinely saved at 13 years old. But after losing her mother in a traumatic medical incident, grief turned into silence — and silence turned into pills. Nearly two years of addiction followed, eventually leading to the state taking custody of her son.

That morning, she took her last pill and cried out to God.

Fourteen years clean from pills. Two DUIs later after a relapse into alcohol. Jail time. Restoration. Custody regained. Calling awakened.

But here’s the deeper question:

When someone walks away from God… does He walk away from them?

Now 40 years old, Kimberly has stepped away from seven years of truck driving to pursue ministry and launch a future faith-based recovery facility for women, men, and troubled teens.

Is redemption real? Can relapse be reversed? And what does it take to rebuild what addiction tried to destroy?

A Story the World Wasn’t Ready For

Christmas didn’t begin with lights, songs, or celebration.

It began in silence. In darkness. In a world ruled by fear, violence, and spiritual blindness.

In this special Christmas episode, we step past the familiar nativity scene and into the tension, danger, and divine mystery surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. From a silent heaven and an unexpected angelic encounter, to a carpenter faced with an impossible choice, a child born with no room in the inn, and a night when the sky itself was torn open—this is the Christmas story as it truly happened.

This episode explores: • Why heaven waited so long to move • Why God chose obscurity instead of power • Why shepherds saw angels while kings trembled • How a baby in a manger threatened rulers and kingdoms • Why Christmas points forward to blood, sacrifice, and resurrection • The question Christmas still asks every soul

This isn’t just a holiday story.

It’s a divine invasion. A rescue mission. A light entering a world that preferred the dark.

“For unto you is born this day… a Savior.” (Luke 2:11)

The question is the same now as it was then:

What will you do with Him?

In this episode of 10 Minute Bible, Bud Shropshire continues the journey through Scripture with a powerful reading of Genesis chapters 4–6.

These chapters reveal humanity’s early struggle with sin—from the tragedy of Cain and Abel, the first murder in human history, to Cain’s exile and the mysterious mark God places upon him. We then follow the genealogy from Adam through Seth, Lamech, and Methuselah as the generations multiply.

But as the world fills, so does its wickedness. Humanity’s rebellion grows so deep that God limits human lifespan and ultimately decides to cleanse the earth. Yet in the midst of corruption, one man stands out—Noah.

God chooses Noah, giving him precise instructions for building the ark that will preserve life. Noah responds with obedience, setting the stage for one of the most dramatic events in all of Scripture.

In this episode you’ll hear: • The story of Cain and Abel and the consequences of jealousy and sin • The rise of early civilization and the genealogies from Adam • God’s response to escalating human wickedness • Noah’s calling and the blueprint of the ark • The hope found in one man’s faithfulness

Listen now and let God’s Word shape your day—10 minutes at a time.

In the very first episode of 10 Minute Bible, Bud Shropshire takes you through a clear, steady reading of Genesis chapters 1–3 from the English Standard Version (ESV).

Whether you’re listening on your commute, during a break, or as part of your daily devotional time, this short-format Bible reading brings God’s Word to you in a simple, accessible way.
