Jesus spoke of the kingdom in parables and as children of God, these kingdom mysteries are ours to walk in, but we must seek Him first. Casual Christianity is commonplace in the American church; a religion easily obtained, easily consumed and easily forgotten. A kingdom seeker is one who goes beyond casual consumption and excavates life in the depths of knowing the Father intimately; experiencing death in the flesh and life...2021-07-0644 minOccupy FreedomOccupy FreedomRevival and Reformation - Interview with Tommie Zito (Pt.2)The problem with the message of the church pulpit is..  "We've been teaching people how to live, what we need to do is teach people how to die" - Tommie Zito Revival is upon our nation yet again, praise God!

We can't avoid it, but we don't have to identify with it.  Whether as a child or adult, from friends, family, leaders or perfect strangers, in big events or small, we will all feel rejection in this fallen world; it’s the challenge of our humanity.

Being vulnerable is God-given and it's what makes us human. When you remove the possibility of weakness and failure, you de-humanize yourself and others. The older we get, the more convinced we become that it is in fact our weaknesses, failures and imperfections that bind us in unity as humans and believers, not our successes or our strengths. Why do you think the enemy has worked so hard to dismantle vulnerability? Because it ultimately dismantles the intimacy and the...2021-06-0137 minOccupy FreedomOccupy FreedomWho Told You That You're Naked?

Understanding your function answers the question, "Why am I here?" and it creates focus amidst the chaos and noise of the world. In order to increase in our function we have to understand the foundation of that function. We've broken the foundation of function down into three key parts: calling, purpose and assignments.

His own rejected Him because they weren’t looking for a servant, they were waiting for an earthly king; a military-minded ruler who would overthrow the Roman government and end their physical oppression.

This is the most important question you will ever ask yourself and have to give answer to. Often times in our culture we subconsciously take cues from magazines, movies, social media and other outside influences to determine who we are and where we're going, when in reality God has hidden our identity in the nature of who He is. Through the fall of the first Adam, our core identity was fractured and our relationship with the Father severed...but wait, there's more!
