Understanding the Seven Mountains of Cultural Influence – Part One

2020-05-30T19:32:06+00:00

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Matthew 28:18 – 19 When Jesus spoke these words, he was leaving an assignment that would be passed on to each successive generation. It was a calling to impact and transform entire nations to reflect the values and culture of His Kingdom. Over the last several decades, God has been revealing tools to help us with this [...]

Building Better Bridges Between The Generations

2020-05-30T19:24:13+00:00

We’re at a pivotal place in history. God has given us the tools we need for kingdom building, He’s stepped in to create a reset in our nation after decades of the enemy rewriting our moral, social and cultural constructs. All of this is exciting, but it has also exposed a lack of unity between races, genders and generations, both in society and within the church. If we are going to create lasting change, this is something that must be addressed, because building His kingdom is going to take a multi-generational effort.  Abraham was given a promise, but it took four [...]

Waiting For Them To Say Yes

2020-05-30T19:20:09+00:00

This weekend I had the privilege of speaking about social entrepreneurship at the Kingdom Business Summit in Dallas. The Summit is a unique event where business leaders come together to blend Kingdom-minded vision with essential business practices. I had so much fun meeting with people who are hungry to do business in a different way! Over lunch, one of the speakers at the event made the point that it seems like God is ready to do some new and exciting things, but the people seem to be waiting for permission. I’ve been thinking a lot about what he said: God has [...]

Stop Swimming In The Kiddie Pool

2020-05-30T19:13:38+00:00

This weekend God hit me with a challenge/rebuke that I think will resonate with you as well. I was in a conference session and heard Him say, ”It’s time to get out of the kiddie pool. It’s time to start swimming in the depth that I have called you to.” When He said it, I knew exactly what He was talking about. I have some revelation that I think is important and I’ve been sitting on it. I’ve shared it with a few people, but I’ve been hesitant to unpack what I'm hearing to a larger audience and He called me [...]

The Reasonable Man

2020-05-30T19:07:03+00:00

The reasonable man takes the sure road in life. He understands the way the world works and clicks off the boxes he needs to in order to succeed in life. The reasonable woman defends the status quo knowing that someday, someone will defend her when it’s her turn. The reasonable man acknowledges that things need to change in the world. And he feels good about the fact that he sees it. He may even be so bold as to share a controversial meme on Facebook, just so people know he is serious. The reasonable woman looks at her childhood dreams of [...]
