Is the Micro Ekklesia God’s New Mega Move? (Ep 345)

Is the future of the Church small and powerful? In this episode, we unpack the rise of the Micro Ekklesia and why it may be Heaven’s disruptive blueprint for cultural transformation.

Iranian Christian women, imprisoned for their faith, were urged by some American churches and publishers: “Please don’t speak about the Holy Spirit.” But for them, the Holy Spirit wasn’t a side note.

God Spots: Making Space for God to Move (Ep 332)

We know God is everywhere—He’s omnipresent. But have you ever noticed that His power doesn’t always seem active in a given situation?
