Your Opinion Matters We’ve all received an email after visiting a retail or eating establishment titled something along the lines of Your Opinion Matters inviting us to give our feedback. Similar emails and text messages request our all-important answers for special surveys where our opinions are espoused to be desperately needed. I’ve even noticed this phenomenon at the beginning of a simple phone call. They ask right from the beginning if you’d be willing to stick around after the call for a brief survey—again, giving the illusion of an actual dependency on our opinions. In the latter case, I’ve been…

Breakers, Takers, Givers, Makers – What Kind of Saint Are You? (Article + Podcast)
Called to Be Saints Together When the apostle Paul wrote to the church in Corinth, he referred to them as “those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:2, ESV).” I’m taking a slight liberty with the text, but I like the English Standard Version in this particular verse because it emphasizes that we are “called to be saints together.” We are together in our local church and with our brothers and sisters worldwide. And that’s the beauty and the…

The Anatomy of a Failure (A Scriptural Survey of Why Sincere Souls Fail God) – Article + Podcast
The Anatomy of a Failure During several formative years of my life, Bishop Douglas White ministered to my soul at camp meetings, conferences, and seminars. Time and time again, his stirring sermons send me running to an altar to touch God. His dynamic preaching ministry is in constant demand and has been for as long as I can remember. He has a way of preaching hard truths with love and urgency that compels you to respond. I’m grateful for his ministry. So, when I discovered his newest book, The Anatomy of a Failure: A Scriptural Survey of Why Sincere Souls…

Radically Apostolic! with Charles G. Robinette (Article + Podcast)
A Radically Apostolic Review I recently had the opportunity to interview International Evangelist Charles G. Robinette about his new book, Radically Apostolic! The Reality, the Journey, and the Reward of the Call of God on the Apostolic Voice Podcast (which is linked below). Conversations like that always take on a life of their own, and that’s precisely what makes them so cool. However, it’s impossible to capture the essence of a book in a conversation format. So, even if you’ve listened to the episode with Rev. Robinette, this book review explores new territories. In my opinion, every believer should own…

Innkeepers (Article + Podcast)
The Tale of the Cringy Christmas Story Every Christmas season, for as long as I can remember, my dad has told the story of a local church’s nativity play. I don’t know where he read it, but the story made it into his rotation. He cries every year in the same places, and he recites the story as if it’s the first time we’ve ever heard it. I was probably a teenager when he first told it. And to use an expression my kids use about my stories, I thought it was pretty “cringy” back then. But a few years…

Controlling Our Emotional Beast with Ed Snyder (Article + Podcast)
Apostolic Voice, Episode 54 I recently had the opportunity to speak with pastor (Solid Rock Church of Irving, TX), podcaster (True North Podcast), and author Ed Snyder about his recent book publication called Control the Beast (A Guide to Managing Your Emotions) on the Apostolic Voice Podcast. It was a memorable episode, and I hope you’ll have the opportunity to listen to it (the episode is linked below). Control the Beast (A Guide to Managing Your Emotions) is linked below as well. It’s worth a lot more than $10, and I highly recommend adding it to your reading list. Below…

Prayer, Revival & Spiritual Warfare with Joe Campetella (Article + Podcast)
All Credit Belongs to Joe Campetella For the sake of readability, I’m summarizing the conversation with my dear friend, Rev. Joe Campetella, as if they are my own words. But for the record, nearly 100% of these thoughts originated with Joe as he articulated them on Episode 53 of the Apostolic Voice Podcast called Prayer, Revival & Spiritual Warfare. That entire conversation is featured at the end of this article, and you can find it wherever you enjoy podcasts. Undoubtedly, many nuggets in that hour-long exchange will not be included in this article. However, it’s worth encapsulating that discussion in…

In Everything Give Thanks (Article + Podcast)
In everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:18). At first glance, it’s tempting to write this Scripture off as being a little over the top. Sure, we should be thankful. And yes! We should thank God for the good things. But what about the bad stuff? How are we supposed to give thanks for those things? So, full disclaimer, I don’t have the perfect answer to that question. I mean, I know the right theological things to say. And I realize that God’s ways are higher than our ways.…

Completed (A Poem)
God knew that Adam couldn’t do it alone So He created woman, bone of his bone Once depleted, man now completed by Eve Complementing, persuasive, persistent is she Her powers unique, and different than his In man’s weakness, she enhances his strengths Disparate, distinct in every way, yet linked Independent, yet dependent, fulfilling needs Joined as one flesh, the two becoming as one Now they are joined, under God’s holy Son This poem was written for my lovely wife, Taylor, whom I affectionately call JJ.

The Artificial Face (Cosmetics, Make-Up, Body Modification & The Great Cover-Up) – Podcast
Timothy Hadden joins the podcast. He pastors a church he started in the heart of downtown Portland called Antioch Northwest (antiochnorthwest.com). He’s also the curator of an excellent Apostolic media resource called Alpha Tav (www.alphatav.net). Rev. Hadden holds a degree in addictions counseling from the School of Behavior Sciences at Liberty University and is a certified addictions counselor with Oregon and with the NAADAC, which is the National Association of Addiction Professionals. He stays active in the Apostolic thought community. I consider him to be one of the deep apostolic thinkers of our time. Also, be sure to check out his…
