Matt Edwards is one of the pastors who participated in my Insurgence Experience (IXP) Mastermind. Since I last saw Matt, he’s written a new book called Mustard Seeds and Viral Videos. I caught up with Matt recently to discuss his new book. Enjoy! There are countless books available today. And they all compete for people’s attention. The average reader wants to know, “what in it for me”? when they consider buying a book and taking the time to read it.... Read more

Studies in the Sermon on the Mount by David Martyn Lloyd-Jones is regarded as a spiritual classic on Jesus’ remarkable kingdom charter in Matthew 5 – 7. Jones is detailed in his exposition, showing that the Sermon on the Mount is not a code of ethics or a list of moral rules. According to Jones, “When we consider the Sermon on the Mount, we are never to stop even with the moral, ethical, spiritual teaching; we are to go beyond... Read more

A large emphasis of my ministry is on the subject of creation and new creation, particularly with reference to God’s Eternal Purpose. (Many of the conference messages explore this topic.) Recently, Edward W. Klink III has released a new book entitled The Beginning and End of All Things: A Biblical Theology of Creation and New Creation. While the book is written in an academic manner, the content is solid. I see it as a good introduction to the subject of... Read more

Those who have been through the Insurgence Experience (IXP) Mastermind last year (when it began) and this year have been the most impressive pastors and teachers I’ve ever met.

Over the last month, we used social media to share a need from a man in India who has a ministry to the homeless and who also has a personal need (his daughter is currently sick). This man, Charles, has created the memes for my book 48 Laws of Spiritual Power. Here are a few below. I hired Charles to create the memes (over 50 of them), and he did a great job. What baffles me is that I’ve promoted... Read more

Just returned from Orlando where I spent 4 days with a group of top-shelf Christian leaders for the 2023 IXP (Insurgence Experience) MASTERMIND. Heaven broke through to earth. The interactions, fellowship of the Spirit, encounters with the Lord, problem-solving, and sharing was amazing. I spoke 9 times, and then when the IXP ended, a friend flew down from New England and we recorded 6 new episodes for the Insurgence Podcast. Exhausted? No. I was drawing from a different life source... Read more

Over on the Beyond Evangelical blog – which has just been completely revamped and upgraded – I publicly unveiled (for the first time in 5 years) the remix of I CAN ONLY IMAGINE. The new version is called YOU DON’T HAVE TO IMAGINE. Check it out HERE. Read more

If you are new to my work, you can read my latest article Revival, Reformation, Restoration, and Revolution. The feedback has been tremendous. And I appreciate it. On Tuesday’s episode of the Christ is All podcast, I unveiled my complete rewrite of the classic song “Stairway to Heaven.” The new lyrics present the unfolding drama of the romance of the ages that we find in Genesis through Revelation. Two conference messages follow the revised song. We added them after the... Read more
