The Coming Movement is Now
Editor’s Note (11/19/2021): This article, originally written in 2018, became more prophetic than I originally intended. Before anyone knew about Covid-19 and the impact it would have on the nations, the Lord was preparing His Ekklesia for something of much greater meaning. Most, if not all of us have been tested and tried throughout this…

Heart of Revival
Hi Friends, Today I want to share some heart and vision of what has been stirring in me as of late. Those of you who are close to me know I have the tendency to quite frequently bring the status quo into question regarding our shared faith. This has been the case for most of…

The Prophetic Ministry Part 2: Different Types of Prophecy

Unity: The Inconvenient Necessity

Barrabas, Nationalism, and the Woman Caught in Adultery
If you believe you’re superior to someone else, can you truly love them? The goal of today’s article is to establish the idea that nationalism is poisonous to the Gospel witness. Before I get started, here is my clarifying statement: “Nationalism is different from patriotism.” Nationalism believes that one’s own country, nation, and/or culture is superior to…
