Good Word


Take a step back and view your life through the perspective of eternity. Each decision that you make etches a lasting inscription in the walls of history. Choices that are made will become fruit of the following generations. This is a beautiful part of being alive. The blood that was shed on the battlefield of decision has now become the inheritance of the authority in your family lineage. There will come a day of justice when history will be revealed to each person, in that moment the fruit of your life will be unveiled right before your eyes. On that day there will be a great celebration in the heavens, for the man who has weathered the many storms of life while planting a harvest for a generation that he is now able to see. His reward will be everlasting. He will hear the Father's words, "Well done, good and faithful servant. The little that has been given to you has been multiplied through your hands." There is a conviction that is meant to way heavy on each person who calls himself a believer. We live with an awareness that life is meant to be sown into the destiny of people that I will never seeThis conviction drives the mighty to pursue the impossible, the strong to brave the many storms. There is no escaping the thunderous storms of opposition, for we are the ones who have been commissioned to calm each of themEach believer is called to take the test of life and turn them into a testimony. We have been launched into the darkest places of the earth, transforming them into the light of the world. We are the ones who see an army in the dry bones. It is us who can win a battle with a jar and a torch. Who you are should not be decided by our economy, persuaded by popular opinion, or formed through the media's bend. We are counter-culture by nature. We are predestined from the womb, set apart from the beginning. This life that we have chosen can only be navigated by a renewed mind. The old man screams 'too much' when faced with the impossible, and the flesh is a poor decision maker. Have you decided who you'll be? Do you know what you'll leave behind? With your words you create worlds, with your prayers you release inheritance. The balance between life and death has been designed to rest in your hands. Like many who have gone before you, we now have the opportunity to create change in the world around us. How you choose to live today is a choice for eternity.

The Awakening



     It's weird to say that I'll be home next week but, I'll be home next week! First I must make a quick stop in Ireland! The last few days I have with my squad will be amazing, we have our final debrief and then a World Race Conference called The Awakening! There will be everything from teaching to a dance-off, and Jonathan David Helser will be leading worship! You can watch a live stream (keep an eye out for me) so come check it out and get yourself some Awakening!

"We've all heard the rumor and the whisper of another world. A world where nothing is impossible, and the barrenness of the earth begins to look like the fruitfulness of the garden.

The Awakening is a time to gather with like-minded people who are desperate to pursue this as normal Christian living. Join us for a time of worship and impartation. A mighty shout will be heard as past, present, and future racers converge."
