In studying revival history, one of the many common threads I’ve discovered is that the individuals who were catalytic in igniting revivals around the world had a personal re-awakening, renewal or personal revival. It was from their full-to-overflowing spiritual tank that they were able to bring something of God into their world.

When You Are Winning Stop and Celebrate Celebrate the person Celebrate the specifics Celebrate the cultural alignment Stop and Strategise Ask the question: Why are we winning?

Women in Leadership Is it biblical? Why is it still such a hot topic in the Christian world but not so much in the marketplace? Theology In our conversations, and in your preaching, you clearly have a passion for biblical literacy and rigorous theological study. Where does this passion come from?

International Women’s Day 2022 FULL NOTES I love seeing International Women’s Day as an opportunity to reflect on the past and where we’ve come from, while also looking ahead to what we can still do to make sure women and men have equal opportunity to bring their unique contribution to the world, without privilege or persecution. I am proud to be a woman, but like most women I know, have experienced challenges based on people’s perceptions of gender and how they thought I should look or act, or ...

This thought is laying heavy on my heart today.

The Spiritual Discipline Of Living an Above and Beyond Life Above and Beyond - Kingdom First Leadership Time Principle: Deuteronomy 12;15 MSG No working on the Sabbath; keep it holy just as God, your God, commanded you. Work six days, doing everything you have to do, but the seventh day is a Sabbath, a Rest Day—no work: not you, your son, your daughter, your servant, your maid, your ox, your donkey (or any of your animals), and not even the foreigner visiting your town. That way your servants an...
