Delivered from Suicide
In church one Sunday I had a willing congregant come forward to show everyone what it was like to pursue the Holy Spirit in a visual meditative state. We didn’t know what the Spirit would want us to get into ahead of time, so the entire room was surprised when my participant felt God wanted…

Losing Our Souls to the Wrong Things
I discovered something when I was writing my first book: I can get lost in writing. I can sit down in a chair, write straight through lunch and get up eight hours later with no recognition that time has changed. And then, if I really want, I could grab a bite to eat and then…

Chili Multiplied
In 1995, God called Heidi Baker, a woman with a Ph.D in systematic theology, to go and serve in Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in the world.

Mahesh Chavda had a huge problem. His palm-sized, one pound, three ounce son had been born four months premature and he was supposed to be getting on a plane to do ministry in Africa. The tension was real as the Holy Spirit and his wife told him to go. He eventually reached Kinshasa where 2,300…

Deliverance, Compulsion, and Legion

The Women that Make the World Work
In most of the coalitions I serve, I find myself surrounded primarily by women. They are the ones that make the city of Jackson tick. They’re hard at work, ensuring that everything that needs to be taken care of, is taken care of, and they don’t let anything get in the way. Jesus, too, was…

Keep it Simple
Vineyard pastor Robby Dawkins once had a dream that his church was filled with people committing all kinds of crimes and indecencies. He looked around in shock as they had sex in the pews, sold and did drugs, got drunk, and more. Finally he yelled out, “If you’re not gonna honor God’s house and respect…

Why Do Angels Answer their Own Questions?
There are moments throughout the Bible where angels ask prophets questions about their visions and then go on to answer their own questions. This seems like an odd motif to come across time and time again. Why does this happen? We address that question and more in today’s episode of JXN Cloud. Join the discussion…

Your Love is Extravagant – Live Lofi Worship
We lost a lot of band members at church throughout the last few years and I’ve grown tired of leading acoustic music all the time because of it. That being said, I’ve been experimenting with a Maschine Mikro Mk3 to see how I might be able to lead worship in a livelier and unique way.…
