I’m absolutely convinced that the key to bring life to cities is not larger churches but different churches. Churches who intentionally and sacrificially change their focus from growing the church to loving the city.

“It is possible to have a spiritual experience and to be deceived, but not having an experience is already a deception.”

Substitute altars are prostitute altars. They cannot and will not last. A long prophesied reformation is coming and must come. In a world of noise...this book matters.

I love the work of RIP Medical Debt. Today our church was privileged to play our part by cancelling $3,758,657 of medical debt in Orange County.

Satan uses exhaustion as much as he uses sin. Rest is warfare in a season like this.

There’s no place in society for companies or communities that permit or promote the sexualisation and exploitation of children. #cancelnetflix

650 kids enticed by fame audition for a movie where they are encouraged to Twerk & engage in touching themselves sexually while it’s filmed for adults viewing pleasure. I’m disgusted w/ @netflix promoting sexualising of children thru #cuties movie Time to #cancelnetflix

That what we are in fact doing is embracing a kingdom, not organizing a church. And this gives every spiritual leader, a clarion call to engage the future with a new mental map, a new model and a different story.

And so in times of economic uncertainty, in times of cultural uncertainty, in times of social uncertainty, there's never been a greater need for ‘kingdom awareness’ among spiritual leaders...

The kingdom of God is the DYNAMIC rule and reign of God. It is the presence of the future invading, upsetting and re-creating the present. It is ever the new normal impressing itself upon us.

What if church leaders focussed more on the AUTHORITY resting on the church to bring life to the cities than on ATTENDANCE at church services? What if instead of focussing on trying to get people to show up AT church we invested our energy on helping people show up AS church?

What would happen if churches stopped complaining and protesting the decline of our cities and started releasing the design for our cities? What if we were known for our creative imaginative and redemptive presence in our cities?

Learning to love the city with Jesus...releasing peace.
