There are times when life feels quieter, like a pause before something new begins. In the Hebrew calendar, Cheshvan is that season—a time of hidden growth and quiet trust in God’s timing, revealed through Scripture. Where do you see hidden growth in your life? Reflect on it today.

Have the gifts of prophesy/healing/tongues ceased? (are you a cessationist?) or do they continue? (are you a continuist?). WARNING: This is a rabbit hole and a poke-the-bear kind of topic.... @Angela Linville challenged me to broach this... so here we go 🐻 Like a lot of our spiritual growth, this topic might be a journey in and of itself to land on your stance on this... you may be on a continuum. Why is this important? I believe as we march toward end times and as we are in the Hebrew year of the Door, that the veil between the natural and spiritual is thinning and we are going to see more and more "signs and wonders" both from the dark and from the light (from God and not from God). I encourage you to get with God and our Bible and an open heart/mind on this. Here's one person who has done a deep dive on the topic-- it's a review/rebuttal of the documentary about cessationists (those who believe these gifts have ceased). I confess I have not watched the whole thing... but it seems to be a balanced and Biblical and gospel centered approach and possible a good starting point for you if you do not have an answer to this question or want to reaffirm or decide where you stand. Cessationist: A Critical Evaluation of This Documentary

I believe we need to start having deeper conversations, especially about the more controversial topics in the church. If we as a society can’t put on our big boy/girl pants and engage in these discussions, what does that say about us? We don’t have to *agree* on everything, but we should be open to *understanding* other perspectives. It’s not about who is right, but *what* is right—and seeking the truth together. These conversations don’t have to turn into debates or arguments. We can disagree and still respect one another, keeping it clean and focused on learning. Let’s ask the deeper questions and hear each other out. I’d love to know your thoughts on this—do you think we need to have these conversations, and how do we approach them in a healthy way?

In today’s world, business and ministry often revolve around influence, productivity, and profit. Leaders chase metrics, build brands, and pursue growth. But look at Jesus’ life, and we see a radically different approach. His model was as revolutionary then as it would be now, standing in stark contrast not only to today’s ideals but also to the Roman power structure of His time. Jesus led by serving others, not by chasing status or wealth. Instead of financial security, He trusted in God’s provision, reminding us that purpose-driven influence holds more lasting impact than profit alone. While the Romans built an empire through power and control, Jesus built a legacy of compassion and empowerment. Imagine leading in a way that lifts people up rather than holding power over them. Jesus’ approach shows us that the true path to lasting influence is by investing in others, focusing on people over profit, and building a community of purpose. As we step into a new year, let’s remember His example. The greatest legacy we leave is rooted in service, not status. What say you?

Videos are something I've been playing with the last couple weeks. This is one that is going to be a Level One gift inside my new Community, Kingdom Identity Pathway. This space is going to be for going deep into personal reflection and discerning where you are out of alignment with the truth of Scripture and whether soul wounds or a rebellious spirit are blocking your ability to believe The Truths of Scripture are true for you. It's different than my Kingdom Purpose & Prosperity Alliance and than Kingdom Culture Revolution and it is foundational to reclaiming ALL of you and fully living the life you were created and destined to live. Right now it's like I have the frame of a house that is ready to be filled with carpets and tile, painted and decorated with furniture and all the trappings that make a house a home. It's going to be a home where we are reminded of the stories in Scripture - not for the purpose of memorization or dissecting theological truths on a doctrinal level. But for the purpose of imagining the lives of the people whose stories are told within the pages of this book that has stood the test of time. And we are asking Holy Spirit to inspire our imagination so that we can see ourselves within those stories. So we can spot areas where we may have blind spots and recognize when there has been something stolen, killed or destroyed within us. Jesus is so good. He is just waiting for us to partner with Him to reclaim and renew all of us so that we can remember who He created us to be and all we are called to do. There is peace that passes understanding waiting for us. Are you coming? Let me know in the comments if you'd like an invite when it's ready! https://youtu.be/ZOy9Jtx5rt4
