The holy spirit

The empowerment we all need for our own Christian adventure

Meeting the Holy Spirit changed my life and kicked me off on the wonderful adventure that I continue on to this day. Since that life-changing day, I am passionate about sharing everything I've learned with others. It's easy to want to pass along the best thing that's ever happened to you!

Articles & Books

Various aspects of Holy Spirit ministry are common topics on my resourcing blog, as well as in other venues my writing is published. Walking with the Holy Spirit is a central element of my books as well.

I frequently speak and train at conferences, seminars, workshops, and other equipping events. I love working in this kind of environment and helping people meet the Holy Spirit himself!

Training Classes

I founded the School of Kingdom Ministry (SoKM) to pass along the equipping I developed through years of trial-and-error in Holy Spirit equipping. That is now a network of training locations spreading around the world.

communication

Building a foundation of gospel understanding for our complex times

With the complexity and chaos of our current context, forming people in the truth of Jesus Christ is more critical than ever. I'm passionate about speaking, writing, interviewing, filming, and any other method of sharing and grounding people in the gospel.

Writing

My father was a writer and editor for over forty years, so it is a deep honor for me to be able to continue the family craft as I write blogs, articles and books.

the future

Moving towards the next God has for us

God is always doing a new thing in the world, and that seems extra clear in these strange times we find ourselves in. I've always found myself compelled by a love for possibility, for what is waiting for us at the horizon. Perhaps I'm still getting comfortable with the label, but people keep telling me I'm a thought leader, and it is true that I love to work in the area of ideas.

I love to leverage my strategic thinking to help the church get to where it needs to go, whether that is a specific local church with its unique God-given assignment, or whether it's wrestling with the bizarre current context and what the means for the future ahead of us.

Organizational Clarity

In our local church context, I developed a model for organizational clarity that I now use with churches to help them hone articulate their organizational identity and create traction towards the future God has for them.

Understanding our Cultural Context

Some of the articles I write wrestle with understanding our unique cultural context and what it means to lead and minister in our current day. I'm passionate about helping ministry leaders understand and minister effectively in our time.

Future of the Church

I have a particular passion for the future of the church. I believe God is birthing a new form of church in our time and that it is an unbelievably exciting time to be a believer.

Right now I have a free e-course I'm in the process of developing which explores these ideas.
