  • How The Trinity Effect™ Helps Christians Live the Abundant Life

    The Trinity Effect™ states that transformation happens best, and is sustained the longest in the place where your identity, design, and assignment converge. Someone can know who they are in Christ, go to church, and be committed to the Lord, in every way but not embrace their unique design and assignment and live a lifetime…

  • Is the Jesus You’re Following the Real Jesus?

    If the Jesus you are following doesn’t require you to leave anything behind – especially things you’ve become really familiar with, comfortable, or reliant on – then that’s not the real Jesus. If the Jesus you follow never calls you to a deeper relationship with Him based on His Word and the leadership of the Holy…

  • The Divine Exchange

    Jesus did not come to condemn the world because of sin nor ignore it in the name of relationship or what the world sees as acceptance, tolerance or love. He did not come as a good (or even great) man in history with a model for living that we should try to aspire to in our…

But when your identity is rooted and grounded in brokenness from the past, your unique design remains covered and your kingdom assignment is hidden.  Many well-meaning Christians live their whole life in this place. Saved, and on…

  • How to Walk in God’s Supernatural Provision for Your Kingdom Assignment

    In Matthew 6, when Jesus taught about provision, He revealed a little-known Kingdom principle: you are designed to receive your provision through your design.  And why would he use the examples of birds and flowers? Because they have completely different ways of receiving from the Father in line with their design, yet both are abundantly…

  • Financial Provision in God’s Kingdom: Position, Not Performance

    Many people resist the fact that God loves to bless His people with material blessings. Denominational church leaders rail against what they call the “prosperity gospel” while refusing to embrace the truth of God’s word regarding practical provision and finances.  One verse I love is Deuteronomy 8:18, where it says “Remember the LORD your God.…
