Hearing God’s Voice in Colombia

This summer I was privileged once again to travel to Colombia with a mission team. We were attending a Supernatural School of Missions Intensive and one of the sessions was teaching how to hear the voice of God, especially in a ministry setting while you are praying for someone. During the activation part of the exercise, we were placed back-to-back…

Good — Really?

Over the past several months I have spent time contemplating and studying the goodness of God. It began with a simple look at Jesus as the Good Shepherd and grew into a deep well of pondering what "good" really means. This is certainly not a new concept for me, but what has struck me along the way is how much…

Miracles Today?

Yes, we read the stories of fantastic miracles in the Gospels, and it might bolster our faith for something we are praying for, but do we really believe that He can and will do those same things today? For us? I went on a mission trip to Costa Rica last month and something happened right before my eyes that is…

Emotions are The Pits!

Did I get your attention? I really do not believe that emotions are the pits, but I do want to discuss their benefits and challenges. Emotions are a volatile subject for many different reasons. You have the difference between men and women, the differences between personalities and a variety of emotional health issues, just to name a few. Today I…

Circumstances and Heaven’s Point of View

Have you felt like you are drinking the bitter waters of dire circumstances? Do you hear grumbling and complaining about the state in which you find the world coming into your mind, and sometimes maybe even out of your mouth? It can be so challenging to keep our focus on “things above” when things here and now are feeling out…

Seasons: Part 2

Last month Kenzie wrote her thoughts about seasonal living. If you did not read it, it's worth going back to see (or reread it)! I want to share with you how her words encouraged me. I have been keenly aware recently how much our lives are lived in 'seasons.' As a child it took forever for that next birthday or…

Seasons: Part I

Around the IMM office farm talk is not uncommon. This is largely because the majority of people who are or who have been involved at IMM grew up farming, around farming, or hearing about farming! Agriculture is a part of our heritage around here. So, as is the case in any farming community, it leeks into our language, our perspectives…

Why Church?

Many of you know we (Seth and I) are starting a church. Officially its name will be Open Fields Church. The question we find people asking, and sometimes not asking when they should, is: Why Church? Why have one, why start one, why attend one. We are so strongly led into the mindset that our lives are about a personal…

On Earth as It Is in Heaven

Matthew 6:9-10 This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,  your kingdom come, your will be done,     on earth as it is in heaven." When Jesus prayed this in His prayer, I believe He meant it literally. And then He blessed us with the gift of the Holy Spirit, allowing us to stand in…
