• Shake the Dust Off Your Feet

    Imagine that Jesus did a supernatural act and revealed himself to a small group of church people and taught them truth straight from his mouth. He then told this small group to go into the Bible Belt of America and proclaim his teaching there. He also empowered them by his Holy Spirit to do all…

  • Jesus Didn’t Always Get His Way

    Curiously, two blind man trailed behind Jesus asking for a miracle, but he didn’t respond. They refused to give up, going into the house Jesus crashed in, where he finally touched and healed them. It’s in the very stern warning of his next words that we see why he hadn’t healed them before: “Don’t tell…

  • A Lot of Medical Bills and a Little Bit of Jesus

    It had been 12 long years and the doctor bills had been piling up. She had seen several different physicians over that time and she was broke now. No medicine had taken care of the issue and there was nowhere left to go. It wasn’t that she didn’t want a healthier life, it was that…

  • The Authority to Forgive?

    Jesus ticked some people off in his hometown when he forgave the sins of a paralyzed man. “Such forgiveness was reserved for God alone,” they said. “What business do you think you have forgiving this man?” Jesus then healed the man right in front of them to establish his point with some theo-logic. “What’s harder…

  • Jesus and Impurity Transference

    The Ancient Israelites had two kinds of goats: one was a sacrifice that was used to purify sacred space and the other was a sin goat that was to be sent to some demonic entity known as “Azazel.” The Azazel goat wasn’t a sacrifice to a demon, it was an animal that all of Israel’s…

  • Jesus Was Exhausted

    I watched as Coldplay grabbed a few acoustic instruments and walked off the stage of The Palace in Detroit to a small platform in the back of the room. There we watched as they played a song while a young man behind them did everything he could to touch Chris Martin. It was so noticeable…

  • Jesus Healed a Fever Once

    Jesus healed a fever once. I point this out because we usually think Jesus only cares about doing crazy miracles, but that’s not the case. You are not only seen in your most intense moments—you are seen always. God doesn’t just care about the major parts of your life, he cares about the small parts…

  • New Album – Spare Oom: Vol 1

    The idea of our Spare Oom Worship Nights is pretty simple: show up with no script and see where the Spirit leads. During that time, we create a lot of spontaneous songs. We’ve isolated some of those moments to create an 80 minute album of music. Check it out wherever you stream music. Many thanks…

  • Lord, Lord

    They sound super spiritual in their double acknowledgment of calling Jesus, “Lord, Lord.” They’ve operated in the power of the Holy Spirit. They’ve legitimately prophesied, casted out demons, and performed signs and wonders. And yet, shockingly, Jesus says he doesn’t know who they are. This may forever be one of the most intense passages in…

  • The Holy Spirit and a Watering Can

    As we continued to meet, I asked my client to daydream up a space where they could meet with Holy Spirit. We would return to this space in future sessions to see what the Spirit might want to communicate about their inner healing process as we moved forward. As time went on, a theme would…
