Does God Got This – Part II

In the last post, I invited you into my meandering thoughts on retributive justice vs. restorative justice and how I need to trust that God’s got this. Even when I don’t understand, even when I’m hurt, even when I’m angry. He’s got this. Every single time, He’s got this. Recently, God challenged me and my […]

Does God Got This?

Just wait, they’ll be sorry. I’m sure that’s NEVER crossed your mind…or mine. Right? (In case you’re in doubt, yes, that’s drenched in sarcasm.) Of course that thought, or something similar, has at least fluttered in your brain waves or pulsed through your emotions at some point in time. We’re all only human. Justice is […]

Judgment? Discernment??

Judgment? Discernment?? Judgment. Discernment. So close yet so so different—even the dictionary includes discerning in its first definition of judgment! Judgment: The process of forming an opinion or evaluation by discerning and comparing (Merriam-Webster). If the two are so comparable that even the dictionary uses one to define the other, what’s the point of parsing the finer […]

I Didn’t Know, but God Did

I Didn’t Know, but God Did Corrie ten Boom. I opened my eyes. It was morning, and my waking thoughts were of one of my personal heroes in the faith—Corrie ten Boom. As my mind scrolled through her powerful testimony of faith and resilience in the face of unimaginable circumstances that no one should ever […]

Don’t Confront, CAREfront!

DON’T CONFRONT, CAREFRONT! Don’t Confront, CAREfront   Carefront. Never heard of it? Neither had I, until I listened to Larry Kreider’s leadership podcast where he and his wife, LaVerne, talked about passing the leadership test of conflict. (You can listen to the episode yourself here.) Carefront is a term LaVerne used, and I believe coined, […]

Don’t Look for the Boomerang

Don’t Look for the Boomerang In the last few posts, I shared and spent time processing an extraordinary supernatural experience that was directly related to the destructive power of offense. I cannot emphasize this enough: offense HAS to go. We simply cannot afford to posture ourselves in offense and create filters of offense, filters that […]

No More Dragon Bait

In the last post, I shared an experience that was…memorable. Since that time, I’ve circled around the thoughts Why? and How can this be used for growth and edification?   One of the aspects of that midnight memory that really stuck out to me was that despite posturing myself before the Lord when that thought […]

Don’t Feed the Dragon!

DON’T FEED THE DRAGON It was midnight. Or close to it. I was in the middle of an intense prophetic dream where God was giving me glimpses into deep spiritual realms and His plan for the church for 2024. I was not prepared for what happened next. Just as God was showing me golden wheels, […]

Burden Bearing Baring

Burden Bearing Baring In the last post, I shared how I learned to see prophetic burden bearing as a gift and not as…well…a burden. Today I’m going to bare my heart a little bit and share a more recent story of my journey as a burden bearer. It is my prayer that my story encourages […]
