Kidnapped, enslaved, and forgotten—until God spoke in a dream. The story of Patrick isn’t just history; it’s an invitation. What happens when we say yes to God, even when it leads us back to the places we’d rather avoid?
As Agrippa walked out to give his political speech, the rays of the sun hit his sliver robe like a disco ball, creating such a glorious, glittery appearance that his listeners were completely awestruck. The politician in front of them no longer seemed human, but divine. “The words of a god and not a man!”…
As Brother Yun woke up in his maximum security cell with crushed legs, the Holy Spirit made it clear to him that it was time to escape. But what was his plan exactly? To escape, he would have to walk through 3 iron gates on 3 floors and pass by 6 armed guards, all around…
I’m embarrassed to say it, but I once fell prey to a 20 minute weight loss ad before my 30 second YouTube video started. I could have clicked the “skip ad” button, but the speaker had formed his infomercial so carefully that I hung onto his every word. He pulled every psychological trick in the…
Here’s a video I made for my side job that features a few churches across the Southern Michigan Conference of the Free Methodist Church. It takes a look at a bunch of unique and creative churches that we have, including our own. It just aired at Tri-Con a few minutes ago 🙂

You’d think the disciples would have gotten the point after how many times Jesus got in trouble for eating with the wrong people, yet Peter was still a bit stunned when God gave him a vision to go eat with a non-Jewish man, which was considered rather taboo in his time. Indeed, Peter called such…
There are two major streams of the prophetic in the church today. One form is of a more supernatural perspective, where God speaks to people and they speak out his word. The other form is of a more natural perspective, where the poor are preached about and actions are taken to provide for them. But…
In this episode we cover the first four angelic trumpets of Revelation 8, which seem to hearken back to the plagues of Egypt.
