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 I laid down in bed for some intentional visionary meditation some years ago, I instantly found myself in an apocalyptic-looking greenhouse of sorts. “What is this place?” I asked. “The garden in your head,” I sensed the Holy Spirit respond. “What do I do to fix it up?” “Grow fruit, of course.” “I have…
After months of increased fighting with a friend, I had finally hit my wall. I could see no way to repair the situation. I had done everything I could think of and was out of options. I sat in my front yard in prayer and sighed heavily in the moonlight. Then a Scripture came to…
