We are facing new enemies on new turf. We need superior weapons and warriors. We need every person in the wagon train operating in warfare even though only a few are elite warriors. Everyone is in a strategic battle – physical, family, financial, fellowship, and philosophical. The deepest and most intimate aspects of your lives […]

Esau – Deal with It, Fathers!
The Cycle of Bitterness Grief comes from loss. The full cycle produces hope in believers. The cycle of bitterness begins with false expectation. We never get what we expect when it is a false expectation. That loss cycle continues. We grieve the loss of something that was never ours in the first place. We […]
A New Era Foundation
I had a dream. I’m walking through a museum of entertainment with a guide. Each display in this exhibit involves a very famous song or scene. In each case, the singer, director, or person in charge didn’t want to include the song or scene. Yet, the song or scene became the most famous of the […]
The Shepherding Movement is Over
Fathering Sons, not Sheep The shepherding movement was never a fathering movement that went awry. It was an exaggeration of coaching. It sought to usurp personal responsibility by removing personal authority. The idea only makes sense when you lead sheep. Fathers prepare and position inheritors. Sheep is a behavior, not a condition. Some people will […]
The “We Know” of Intercession
Blueprinting is Divine. While God appears spur of the moment, His eternal planning produces the manifestation we see and hear. Nothing attracts Glory like purpose. God has intentions. He is not fickle enough to respond or react. He is a God purpose. Romans 8:28 speaks of purpose and passion. We read it like a comforting […]
The Revival Cruise and Theme Park Fantasy
If you attend “revival” and it is not a move of God in real life, it is not going to change a generation. If it sustainable only as an attraction, it will sell its soul to be a conference center instead of a Kingdom Center. It will contain several popular rides. It will provide some […]
Kingdom Culture: Restoring Prophets to Foundational Function
Even our best prophets tend to lean into the wind with an overt individualism. Allow me to quote myself, “The greatest test of a prophet may not be about the depth, detail, or development of his or her prophetic communication. The greatest test of a prophet may be his or her capacity to function in […]
Boldness in Intercession
Jesus says, “Lazarus, come out!” And, the dead man got up and came out of the tomb. The only Person present to release the resuscitation is the Intercessor who submits to the process of pregnancy and gives birth to a purpose. The boldness to call a dead man to life when no one else has even […]
Kingdom Culture Norms
I’ve been writing about kingdom culture and the need for it enough that people are asking what kingdom culture is. Jesus says the kingdom of God and His righteousness are to be sought after. What would you suppose “His righteousness” is? After you finish with “right standing” as your definition, consider that “righteousness” is right […]
Culture Conflict and Leviathan
The battle of culture is the battle of the kingdom conquest. Kingdom come. Kingdom culture. Kingdom conquest. We advance kingdom through leadership. Leadership is influence we can measure by impact. Kingdom leadership is kingdom influence. Kingdom is spiritual, so we know kingdom leadership is spiritual leadership and kingdom influence is spiritual influence. Nothing can be […]
