God, our Almighty Nurturer and Protector (Mother’s Day)
Today, going over this message I once gave on Mother’s Day in 2015 blew me away… I needed to read this once again… to see the way God has THE BEST MOTHER HEART (He created mothers after all!!) Maybe you need this today too…? (I changed some of the language to reflect that it’s no…

What does it take for you to grow?
As I meet with my Life Coaching clients, I notice that some lives transform faster than others. Lately, the Lord has been waking me up at 4:33am, 4:11am… The theme God keeps growing in me is this… (and I’ve noticed others seeing this same picture too!) Planting His seeds (His wisdom, revelation, healing…) …requires first…

Women, have you been silenced?
My heart loves to walk with women who have been silenced. Why? Because their voice holds a key to healing – their own healing and the healing of MANY others. I have been coaching people since 2003 online in over 120 countries. I especially love walking women through this journey of being silenced. If…

Your church is shut down – due to virus. Now what?

A Pastor’s Confession
This is my confession. I’m sorry… To all the people who I once pastored in an institutional church… I am sorry that I didn’t know then what I know now. My church and Bible school experience did not adequately prepare me to walk you to complete freedom in Jesus’ name. Nor did I disciple you how…

Persuasive Words of Men?
If your faith is based on the persuasive words of men, your faith will not go deep. When life difficulty comes, your faith will fall. But, if your faith is based on the power of Holy Spirit, the kingdom of God in your life will be unshakable. Jesus didn’t merely share information, nor motivational speaking. Jesus always…

Pastor, How Do You Define Yourself?
Many years ago I connected with Ed Underwood (and I have referenced his resources before on this blog). He recently wrote this post… (which is addressed to pastors but is for ALL OF US in ministry….) Pastor, the Shocking Contrast Between Legalism and Grace. We can choose to define ourselves as pastors by what we’re…

How to End Things :(
I always thought you had to be FOREVER faithful to people, programs, and institutions to the very end. (One of my key values is loyalty and integrity.) Sadly, I learned the hard way some things and relationships must come to an end. Ouch. Sigh. After years of investing in some thing and someone, if there…

The Fastest Growing Church
This will challenge your every thought on: “WHAT and WHO is a church..?” Interestingly, I learned about this film on September 11 (2019)… “The fastest growing church in the world has taken root in one of the most unexpected and radicalized nations on earth,” according to “Sheep Among Wolves,” the outstanding two-hour documentary about the…

We are Tired of Listening to Men
“Mr Moody, there must be more prayer. The speaking here is excellent but there is too much of it in proportion to prayer. We do not have time to pray. We get tired when going to meetings, listening to men. We must have more time to speak to God and to listen to Him.” – Andrew…
