Using Curriculum in 1-to-1 and Small Group Discipleship
https://vimeo.com/42798393[/embed’ Godly men and women have learned truths from God’s Word tested by a lifetime of following the Lord that can be of great benefit to others who are just starting the journey. Sometimes “curriculum” can be a content download rather than an interactive training experience. In this video clip I describe the way I’ve helped design curriculum resources that allow learners to experience these godly men and women in a 1-to-1 mentoring environment. Then these prepared learners can get together with a live mentor or small group to process what he or she is learning and seek help or…

Awaken 2012: A 21-day Prayer Guide
Our great need in North America is for a spiritual awakening that transforms lives, families, cities, and ultimately our society and culture by the working of God’s Holy Spirit. Awaken 2012 is a 21-day prayer guide to direct the prayers of God’s people toward revival and awakening.

Week One: Taking Your First Steps as a Follower of Jesus Christ
Provide new Christians with a daily devotional guide for their first week in following Jesus Christ. I’ve designed the booklet so a church could give it to people making a decision for Christ with encouragement to “start today.” I built in a coaching process so new believers can develop and discuss questions with a more mature believer. Ideally they immediately will move into a connection with an ongoing Bible study group and continue growing as a disciple. LifeWay has agreed for me to share this freely.

Courage to Study “Experiencing God”
A missionary working in the slums of Lima, Peru, gave me this copy of Experiencing God (Spanish). The owner had been beaten by her husband as he burned this book and her Bible. He threatened to kill her if she ever went back to church. She brought this book to the missionary and asked for a new copy to continue the study. I yearn for that kind of hunger for God and His Word.
God’s Activity in Bartow County, Georgia
Last December (2010) I had the privilege of interviewing David Franklin about God’s activity in Bartow County, Georgia, that is transforming lives, churches, and the community. God is working in such encouraging ways that I’ve become a "prisoner of hope" (See Zechariah 9:12.). I pray that God will find pastors and churches all over the nation who will surrender to His use and purposes to see a similar work in their communities. To watch other videos about God’s work in the county see my Vimeo Album at: http://www.vimeo.com/23652961
Homage Ceremony and Full Surrender to King Jesus
I came across a statement in an Andrew Murray book that pointed me to the homage ceremony. It has become for me a powerful reminder every time I pray of my need to fully surrender to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The homage ceremony of the Middle Ages gives us some powerful imagery of full surrender. Christians translated that into a posture for prayer that included full surrender to King Jesus as Lord and Master. Added to the definition of "consecration" as "to fill up the open hands," we have a wonderful invitation from our Lord to consecrate our…
Experiencing God in Appalachia, Part 1
God is using the stories of His work in Lynch, Kentucky, to stir many others to respond to His invitations that require a walk of faith. In Part 1 you will hear of Lonnie & Belinda’s call to minister to mountain. You will hear about a "hedge clipping ministry, the Freedom Center clothing ministry, Hair & Nail Day, a back to school ministry, and God’s provision for remodeling a theater for Christian community programs. These testimonies come from the DVDs in "Experiencing God: Knowing and Doing the Will of God" by Henry & Richard Blackaby and Claude King. They are…
Parable of the PVC Pipe
The Christian’s life can be compared to a PVC pipe. God wants us connected to Him and available so His Living Water flows through us to impact the people we are connected to through our relationships.To function effectively: 1. We need the relationship with the Lord to be right. 2. We need our lives cleansed of all the impurities that could clog our "pipe." 3. We need to reconcile and forgive so no broken relationship would hinder the free flow of God’s love and life through us.
