Yesterday, I was speaking to a group of students in the Midwest during a Zoom call training module. One of the goals of the school is to train students how to take the message of God’s Kingdom into the marketplace. I felt the Lord asking me to share about how we can...
So much seems to be coming apart at the seams in our world. Truth is being rejected along with common sense. Those in positions of authority are imposing evil on us and demanding our compliance as if it were the right thing to do. It would be easy to lose hope if we...
It’s important to discern and appreciate the wide variety of expressions of faith that exist within the Church. We are not all the same. To require that all believers express their faith in lockstep is a very limited understanding of the diversity God intended for His...
You have resisted hitting the pause button on your life because you thought that would be unspiritual. You were taught to endure, fight and struggle. Some of this has been righteous, but the majority of these efforts were attempts at a misguided...
We are in a season where what has been invisible will be now be made known. Those who have gone unnoticed even after years of faithful service will become visible as God confirms and performs His word in their lives. As this thought formed in my mind, I saw the...
Be careful to not wrap your significance around what you do for work or ministry. Do not allow your current assignment to become a destination. This way of thinking can produce a lie that says you are finished and have come to the end of the line arriving at a...

You are juggling so many things in your life. You believe the survival of what you are juggling depends on you keeping everything airborne and constantly in motion. What if you simply stopped? You are afraid that if you stopped juggling all these things they...
The vase is beautiful, but the flowers within the vase have wilted and now lay limp and dry in stagnant water. The vase is your life and the flowers resemble the current condition of your faith. At some point you stopped believing and the beauty of your...
Assumption is not a bad thing if your assumption is based on reality. Most assumptions are, however, illusions of what we want to take place. The problem with what just happened is that you assumed the wrong thing and you were betrayed. There is always an element...
