Teaching Kids to Respond to Hatred

We live in an angry world. The voices of hate seem to be louder than the voices of kindness. As followers of Christ, we cannot participate in hate. We cannot respond with hatred. Our kids can be affected by the anger and hatred, but what can we do about it? Here’s the deal. People are […]

Tongues & Intercession

One of the most powerful things about the gift of tongues is that you can supernaturally pray for things you don’t know about. “Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with [a]groanings too deep for words.” Romans […]

What Is God Doing In Minneapolis?

I’m not going to lie. Yesterday was a scary day for anyone who lives in the Twin Cities. A spirit of fear tried to get to me as events unfolded in Minneapolis. When I heard the rhetoric that followed the shooting and watched videos of lawlessness on the streets, I thought, “Here we go again.“ […]

Why Christmas?

“Look, the Virgin will conceive a child!She will give birth to a son,And they will call him ImmanuelWhich means ‘God with us” This time of year, we hear many people say, “Christmas is all about Jesus,” but thetruth is, Christmas is about “God with us.” “God with us” is the message of the entire Bible.

Taking Revival to the Next Generation

Debbie and I have an assignment to take revival to the next generations – Gen Z and Generation Alpha. We do this by creating Spirit-Filled resources for the church and the home, and empowering Kids Pastors and Kidmin Leaders for Spirit-led ministry to kids. One year ago, I asked the Lord, “How come there aren’t […]

The Supernatural Gift of Tongues

Kids often get filled with the Holy Spirit at a special meeting or Kids Camp and never pray in tongues again. That’s not good. Why ask God for a gift and then only use it one time? The Lord gave us the gift of tongues for a reason. Praying in tongues is a powerful supernatural […]

This Changes Everything

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a history-changing event for our nation and for the church. “Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one’s life for his friends” I have seen many conflicting opinions on social media. Some say Charlie wasn’t a martyr, others that it was a political assassination. Our opinions […]

My Heart is Full of Gratitude

It was exactly one year ago that the Holy Spirit spoke to me.  I was on an airplane, flying to Nashville to attend a Kidmin Conference with 3,000 people. It was an excellent conference, but it wasn’t a spirit-filled conference.  I asked the Lord, “How come there aren’t any Spirit-Filled Kidmin conferences?” He spoke to […]

Revival is Here

After a prolonged period of declining attendance, young people are returning to the church in greater numbers than ever before. The harvest is ripe. Kids, teens, and young adults are hungry for God. Are you ready for the harvest? Are you ready to make some disciples? One of the primary ways that we need to […]

The Countdown is on. It’s Only Two Weeks Away.

It’s hard to believe that the Supernatural Children’s Ministry Conference is only two weeks away. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that we are hosting this conference at this time. The Holy Spirit is moving among Generation Z. This past weekend, many churches experienced Easter like numbers with many first-time visitors in attendance. Young people […]
