How to Walk in Freedom!
Recently, I had the honour of leading another person to freedom from addiction and depression. (I am a Life Coach and Spiritual Director which often entails an inner healing session.) Then, we talked about what abundant life really is. Full life in Christ doesn’t start when you die and go to heaven. It starts now…

Disciple Making Movements (DMMs) are Critical in Canada
I believe Disciple Making Movements (DMMs) are critical to the growth of Christ’s kingdom in Canada. Typically, ‘church’ growth in Canada happens when people move from one ‘church’ to the next. And, if there are new people coming to Christ, rarely is anyone discipling them. The goal is to make disciples, who make disciples, who…

The summer of 70 healings.
The summer I returned to camp speaking after taking a couple years off to rest, I remember telling God that I was ready for whatever He had planned. I was ready for Him to blow out any boxes I had put Him in. I had no idea what would happen next… I would speak at…

What Changed for Me? (Ashes to Beauty)
Friends recently asked me what changed in my life this past year that brought on so much blessing, healing, and crazy adventures of delight and joy in Jesus. I’ve been pondering this… “God, why have you shown such grace and mercy?” I have seen God do some INCREDIBLE things. (This summer, I watched God bring…

How do you enter God’s presence?
This question… “How do you enter God’s presence?”, is so beautiful and has been asked of me many times lately. The answer from God’s Word is so refreshing… 1. Be still. Get quiet to allow Him to lead you. Ps 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I…

Do leaders need to repent …or can they sweep things under the carpet? When leaders fail to repent for idolatry and do not make heart change, not only do they cut off blessing in their own lives, but also in the lives of the people that they lead. When a leader walks in idolatry (bowing…

Life After ‘Church’?
Since stepping away from traditional institutional church and pastoral ministry, my journey has taken me on a sweet adventure. God has led my family away, not to find membership at another institutional church, though we had visited many and were warmly invited by many, but rather to take note of what God is up to……

Unlearn in Order to Learn how to Disciple?
13 million people in 12 years through a disciple making movement?!!! (A few people in the Word started it all.) This morning, I got to group Skype with a missionary on the other side of the world and hear how fast the Gospel is spreading. He had to unlearn things in order to learn how…

The Contagious Bible-focused, Spirit-led Study Tool
(***This was originally posted in Feb 2018. Notice the title of the post? Since the Corona Virus, this has become even more valuable to use in BEING the Church! Simply adjust to doing this through an interactive video conferencing software or phone and you’re off to multiply.) There is a mind-blowing, powerful yet simple Bible Discovery…

Disciple making Movements?
If what you’re doing isn’t working, why keep doing it? (…Or at least add an additional track like one mega church in Texas did after doing the math. For that full story, see link at bottom of this post.) This past weekend, I enjoyed sitting in on a session with a gentleman serving overseas (cannot…
