Hi friends! I’m so excited to share something that has completely transformed my life in ways I never imagined—and I believe it can do the same for you. That’s why I wrote my new book, SPIRIT PRAYER: The Transformative Power of Praying in Tongues. Growing up in a non-charismatic church, I didn’t know about spiritual gifts like praying in tongues.

Receiving my prayer language was like unlocking...

To be a true Christian, we must set our sights on being more like Christ. Christ was at respectful in all situations. Christ saw people - good and bad - through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. Christ was in submission to God the Father. And Christ is the example for us. ...

None of us start off life saying, “I want to be a failure,” or “I want to grow up and get divorced someday,” or “Someday I hope I’ll become a drug addict, or a widow, or sleep around with lots of people, or fail at business, or go bankrupt.” Our childlike faith convinces us we’ll do better, that we’ll defy the odds somehow. But life has a way of showing up and kicking the tar out of that simple, childlike faith, doesn’t it? Whether it’s from our own choices and decisions, or from the choices and decisions of others, ultimately...
