In the Gospel of Luke, Peter receives the prophetic word no one ever wants to get “Satan has demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And, when you have turned again strengthen your brothers.” Peter is shocked and perhaps a bit offended that his level of commitment is being called into question so he immediately begins to defend himself restating his absolute devotion and allegiance to Jesus. After Peter

This past week, I was speaking with another pastor about the kind of “volcanic suffering” that is life-altering. She said the Lord had recently spoken to her about this being a season of “Holy Disruptions”. I found it interesting that the words we were using to try and describe profound loss and grieving had some shared connotations.

In my previous attempts to bring clarity, I don’t want to give the impression that this season is not pivotal or spiritually historic, because I do believe that it is! I saw a meme the other day that said, “2020 went into a store and bought a wig and came back out as 2021!” All joking aside, 2021 seems to have the same shaking qualities that came wit

This week, I have been speaking with people all over the country who have been sharing experiences they’ve had with Believers who have been impacted by the various narratives circulating during the recent election season. Many are discouraged and confused while a few remain resolute that the predictions, in which they have placed their trust, will come to pass! Others are asking: How could this happen? How could seasoned, quality, people of faith become so engrossed and caugh
