What does poverty mean to you? Would you say it is a lack of things? Not enough food? No access to school or medical care? That’s how I would have defined it. But when you ask the materially poor what they believe poverty really is, the answer might surprise you. They won’t always tell […]
Branded
If you are in Texas like I am, you may immediately think of cows and horses with a brand that shows to which ranch the animal belongs. That’s super close to what branding means, but not exactly. Everyone needs branding. Everyone. The clothes you choose, your hairstyle, the way you speak, your voice in writing […]
The Wild Obedience Bible study is here!
Ready for an uprising of God’s Spirit? “For years, I thought to obey God I had to follow the rules and keep myself clean.

Learning to Walk in Wild Obedience
So often “obedience” is a four-letter word in our minds, no? The word conjures up images of getting in trouble, or grudgingly following a set of rules. It’s restrictive. Limiting. It gets in the way of doing what we want in life. The very existence of the word carries with it memories of times we […]
