We can probably all think of examples of people who get “stuck” because they can’t imagine living out a different storyline.

Sometimes big change masquerades as small change. We go to the meetings as we are directed by our electronic calendars, but we increasingly see these commitments and our to-do lists as Gods call on our time as we develop these priorities in prayer, embracing surrendered leadership.
It’s a great paradox—the way up is down. True greatness is expressed in serving, not in dominating.
A church that prays is a church that changes its focus from self to the Savior and redeems the time for God's will in the church's life.
If you are no longer sure if you can believe in God, or if youre beginning to doubt Christianity, we dont assume youve lost your mind.
Every person we translate Jesus to has two options: to follow Him or stay where they are. We do our part in prayer and partnership with Jesus to practice the language of Christ.
When a church focuses on the person as a whole and not the transactional relationship often, they see Christ in the person and not the person inside the local church, which begins to tare the veil of developing relationships to become pew warmers.
What we see on earth is not Gods will. In the last couple years, the impact of sin has been significantly experienced at a worldwide level.
You must focus not on what is missing but instead on what matters: the person in front of you and the community that needs your church to experience church spiritual growth from decline.
I needed divine help to motivate my prayer life. I discovered that we must first confess the following truth, as unflattering as it is: Lord, I confess that in and of myself, I do not really care about anybody but myself. Developing fervency and compassion in prayer requires acknowledging this self-centeredness.
