Dreaming With God

You ask God, “What is Your will for my life?” Sometimes God responds, “What is in your heart?” Does the Lord care about your heart? Does He care about the things your heart desires? Yes! As my children grow, I often ask them, “What do you want to do when you’re...

Horses and Riders

This morning in prayer, I saw a vision of a horse and a rider. Then, the vision became multiple horses and riders. I looked, and in one hand they held a sword. I had this sense of royal respect for them, like they were riding in great authority and the terror of the...

Sponges, Organizations, and The Kingdom of God

“I know God is moving this direction. I just don’t know how our organization can change. I feel stuck and I don’t know how to respond to what we sense God saying to us.”

Movement or Spiritual Family?

“The Lord sets the solitary in families.” Psalm 68:6 Q: Lots of multiplication and reproduction. What do you call that? A: The answer is two-fold. You can call it a movement or you can call it a growing family. When lots of kids are born – it’s a great thing. However,...

Traveling Teams

"GO" are the first two letters of God's name! Since the beginning of history, God's purposes for the earth have been spread through traveling teams. Abraham, Jonah, Isaiah, the apostles, the 72 others, Paul and Barnabus... oh yeah, and Jesus. They all traveled on...

Searching for Bear

“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost…won’t he leave the 99 others in the wilderness and go search for the one that is lost until he finds it?” Sometimes stories happen that remind us of God’s amazing commitment to track down those He loves and bring...

Student Churches Loving Muslims

Native Americans reaching out to Muslim students in their city? These are the kinds of stories I imagine Jesus smiles about. Below is a story from three student church planters (two of them are Native American) who were trained at one of our summer Student CPx...

Story from a Student Church at Haskell

Last week, my father in law and I took my 7 year old son Ethan on a wilderness camping and fly fishing trip in the Colorado mountains. It was a challenge for me personally, because I saw so many pressing ministry needs happening at Haskell University, a Native...
