I had an incredible conversation with my coach yesterday…I have to say that this a relationship that is absolutely invaluable… We spent the better art of two hours dreaming…speculating…and planning, but more than that, he spent that time trying to pull my potential to the surface…warning me against possible character flaws,and external forces that could… [Read more…]

This may seem like a minor distinction,but it really places perspective on who we are and what we are doing as leaders in this Jesus movement… When it is our work, pride and control are a given…because it’s ours, and we will guard it and… [Read more…]

Last night we had an incredible worship and prayer time following the teaching… I am just feeling so driven towards an intimate and meaningful relationship with Jesus…I have felt for several months now that there is a lack of authenticity in the body right now…we want Jesus, but there is no communication between He and… [Read more…]
