As 2024 emerges, layers of deception will be stripped away from the Church. We will begin to see the depth of the bondage many believers have experienced and supported in their ignorance. In this process, the Lord will reveal a truth to His people regarding the hidden...
I’ve watched videos of people wanting to summit Mount Everest. These explorers attempting to summit such an extreme attitude relied on sherpas to carry the weight of the equipment they needed to make these ascents. Sherpas offered advice, prepared the trail, and...
Flying through the cloudy conditions of life when all the measurements we use to show us the way forward are no longer functioning reminds me of when I lost all electrical power in an aircraft I was flying. I was flying in instrument conditions when my instrument...
Last week, I had some time to kill so I began to scroll through Facebook. I came to something called a sponsored post. “Sponsored” means someone paid to have the posting show up on your Facebook feed more than normal because they want to sell you something. I normally...
The most impactful and authentic things that take place in your life do not come from self-promotion or unbridled personal ambition. They are dropped into your life by the grace of God. These deposits are many times given in critical moments of spiritual growth as...
As we begin to proof and format my new book, The Sound of Reformation, it is becoming clear to me the next reformation of the Church will not take place inside the Church as a structure or institution. It will take place between people in moments of human interaction...
You have been searching for a way to move forward. You thought the discovery of that way would be part of a complicated process. God does not work through complication. He is profound because He is able to communicate the greatest of truth in the simplest of terms....

Recently, Jan and I had coffee with some friends who were preparing their church to enter a new season. In the course of that preparation, a person with a significant leadership role in the church resigned. They were left with an important staff position to fill. I...

Someone asked me, “Do you ever bring correction with your prophetic ministry?” I said, “Yes, I correct with words of hope.” Over the years, I have become convinced the introduction of hope into a place of human brokenness is the most powerful influencing factor we...
God has placed a fence around your life. You have seen it as a fence of restriction. It is actually a fence of definition and protection. In this season, God has been redefining all aspects of your life. He has used the fence to protect you from those things that want...
A time in your life when something was killed - a dream, a relationship, a hope - is now being redefined and restored. The memories of sorrow will give way to something new. The stench of death and loss will be replaced with the fragrance of life and restoration. As...
