What the Five Kingdom Leaders Do The famous phrase from Paul’s discussion of kingdom leadership, “equipping the saints,” ain’t about equipping. At least, not so much. The idea that local church pastors teach people to do stuff so they aren’t doing it all – well, that is so far removed from what Paul discusses that […]

Fathering Lineage God’s point of view for Abraham was more than the origination of nations. He was a father of nations in more than the sense that he had children who became nations. God saw Abraham as an international leader. God says, “How can I deal with Sodom and Gomorrah without first speaking with Abraham, […]

The Mindset of God The Logos of God is Jesus as a manifested revelation of God, and the eternal, unchanging mindset of God. The Bible is not the Logos; it is not exhaustive. The Bible is the written or “graphe” communication of Logos God chose to reveal Who He is and How He does stuff. […]

Recognizing Rebellion The rebel seldom defines their posture as “rebellious.” Few are proud of being rebels. Rebels functions in a delusion warp of personal justification. Rebels offer any authority ultimatums. A spiritual father should avoid the relational death that comes with ultimatums by anticipating them and heading them off before they arrive.

Having been born of the Spirit, they begin to operate SpiritFirst in the grace flows of […]

When we fail to care for our wounded, either by shooting them in the head or giving them a microphone before they are healed, we breach kingdom culture processes and protocols at the expense of kingdom culture principles. It does not “encourage” a wounded warrior to put him back into the battle. It is deadly […]

I read the statement three times: “Read the New Testament, and you will see that every city had one church with many house churches, with one apostle who planted churches leading.” The authors of this statement – I combined three authors I consider friends and noble apostles – arrived at these conclusions because we hammered […]

I was so appalled by a blog posted and celebrated on FB that I felt compelled to answer the horrifyingly inaccurate and inconsistent statements and conclusions it offers on spiritual fathering. If you apply these ideas, you will not be a father at all. The young man writing about fathering desperately needs a spiritual father […]

Personal and Leadership Restoration Keep in mind that restoring a kingdom leader requires a different process from restoring a believer who has not taught, preached, prophesied as a prophet, or been a functioning elder. If a person holds an eldering leadership position and fivefold ministry function, the process for restoring requires both personal and ministry-function […]
