Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

There is a shifting taking place in the spiritual landscape, and I believe part of that shifting is a work of Holy Spirit within His own Church. This is not a call to reject leadership, despise authority, or tear down those whom God has genuinely called. Scripture leaves no room for such a conclusion. Christ gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for the equipping of the saints and the building up of the Body according to Ephesians 4:11–13. Paul instructed elders to lead faithfully, Timothy was entrusted with significant responsibility, and Titus was commissioned to establish order among the churches. Biblical authority is real, necessary, and worthy of honor.

The issue is something far more subtle. The danger begins when authority ceases to function as service and begins functioning as status; when an apostolic gift becomes an apostolic class; when honor becomes hierarchy; and when attention that belongs to Christ begins gathering around personalities. That distinction is critical because religion seldom enters a movement by openly denying Jesus. More often, it enters by slowly changing what surrounds Him. Christ remains in the vocabulary while human importance grows in the structure. His name remains on the banner while personalities increasingly occupy the center of the room.

Religion has always possessed this stealth-like ability to enter through cracks left in the armor. A genuine move of God can begin in surrender, prayer, revelation, repentance, and dependence upon Holy Spirit, yet the generation that inherits that movement may begin constructing systems around what the previous generation encountered. The system is created to protect the move, but eventually people can begin protecting the system more fiercely than they pursue the Presence that gave birth to it.

Paul asked the Galatians a piercing question: “Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” (Galatians 3:3). That question was written to first-century believers, but it reaches across two thousand years of Church history. Something may genuinely begin in Holy Spirit and yet become increasingly dependent upon human strength, reputation, structure, money, control, or institutional preservation. The history of the Church repeatedly warns us that yesterday’s revelation can become tomorrow’s religion when dependence upon God is replaced by dependence upon the structure built around what God once revealed.

JESUS DID NOT DESTROY AUTHORITY — HE REDEFINED GREATNESS

We cannot understand Kingdom leadership until we return to Jesus. James and John approached Him desiring places of distinction, one at His right hand and another at His left. Their request exposed something deeply human: even people walking closely with Jesus can become fascinated with spiritual rank.

Jesus did not respond by telling them there would be no leadership in His Kingdom. Instead, He confronted the world’s definition of leadership. He told them that the rulers of the Gentiles exercised dominion over others, but then declared, “It shall not be so among you.” He continued by saying that whoever desired greatness among them must become a servant and whoever desired to be first must become a slave, grounding the entire teaching in His own example: “the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister” (Matthew 20:25–28).

Those words should govern every conversation concerning apostolic authority. Jesus possessed more authority than any apostle who would ever live, yet He washed feet. The One before whom every knee will eventually bow wrapped Himself with a towel and knelt before His disciples. The King demonstrated that authority in His Kingdom flows downward in service rather than upward toward celebrity.

This is why Matthew 23 should make every spiritual leader tremble before God. Jesus confronted religious leaders who loved prominent seats, public recognition, titles, and visible honor. His answer was not the destruction of leadership but the purification of it: “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant” (Matthew 23:11).

The question, therefore, is not whether someone carries authority. The question is what that authority produces around them. Does it cause people to become more dependent upon the leader, or more mature in Christ? Does it gather people around a personality, or equip them to hear Holy Spirit? Does it create sons and daughters capable of carrying Kingdom responsibility, or permanent spiritual dependents who cannot move without permission?

Paul gives us the measuring rod: “We preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Corinthians 4:5).

Christ was Lord.

Paul was servant.

That order must never be reversed.

THE FIRST GENERATION WAS ALREADY FIGHTING THIS BATTLE

The temptation toward personality-centered Christianity did not begin in the modern Church. Paul encountered it in Corinth while the apostles were still alive. Some believers declared themselves followers of Paul, others of Apollos, and others of Cephas. Paul did not celebrate having his own spiritual following. He confronted it.

“Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you?” he asked in 1 Corinthians 1:13.

Later he reduced both himself and Apollos to their proper Kingdom position: “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed?” (1 Corinthians 3:5).

Paul possessed authority, but he refused idolatrous elevation.

Peter displayed the same instinct. When Cornelius fell at Peter’s feet, Peter raised him up and essentially reminded him, “I myself also am a man” (Acts 10:25–26). In Lystra, when people attempted to worship Paul and Barnabas as gods, the apostles tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd protesting that they were men of the same nature as those attempting to exalt them (Acts 14:11–15).

The apostles did not spend their ministries creating mythology around themselves. Their authority was unmistakable, but their message continually redirected people toward Jesus.

Even John the Baptist, whose ministry drew crowds into the wilderness, possessed this same Kingdom instinct. When attention began shifting toward Jesus, John did not defend his influence. He declared, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

That sentence may contain one of the greatest tests of genuine spiritual authority ever spoken.

Can we rejoice when Jesus increases even if our visibility decreases?

THE EARLY CHURCH REMEMBERED THAT SPIRITUAL LEADERS MUST BE TESTED

Some of the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament reveal that the Church understood both the importance of spiritual leadership and the danger of abusing it.

The Didache, generally dated to the first or early second century, recognizes apostles, prophets, teachers, bishops, and deacons. Yet remarkably, spiritual titles did not grant automatic immunity from discernment. Traveling apostles and prophets were to be received, but their doctrine, conduct, motives, and relationship to money were examined. A teacher who departed from sound teaching was not to be received merely because he claimed spiritual authority.

Think about what that tells us. The generation living near the apostolic age did not reason, “He calls himself an apostle, therefore we cannot question him.” They understood that genuine spiritual authority could withstand examination.

That principle remains desperately important. Honor and discernment are not enemies. Submission to legitimate spiritual authority does not require abandoning spiritual discernment. Paul himself told believers, “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and John instructed the Church to test the spirits because many false prophets had gone into the world (1 John 4:1).

Ignatius of Antioch, writing in the early second century, strongly emphasized bishops, presbyters, and deacons and the importance of unity around recognized leadership. We should not erase that evidence simply because it complicates an argument against hierarchy. Yet even Ignatius referred to deacons as his “fellow-servants,” reminding us that early concepts of order existed alongside the language of service.

This distinction matters. The historical evidence does not support the idea that the early Church had no recognizable leadership. It plainly did. The warning is against taking legitimate order and allowing fallen human ambition to transform it into something Christ never authorized.

Clement of Rome, writing near the close of the first century, warned the Corinthian church about envy and jealousy and pointed to the suffering of righteous leaders and apostles as examples of what those passions could produce. The problems of ambition, rivalry, and jealousy were already present within Christianity’s earliest generations.

The battle has never simply been between organized and unorganized Christianity. The deeper battle has always been inside the human heart.

THE RELIGIOUS SEED DOES NOT NEED MUCH SOIL

Church history demonstrates how easily a spiritual movement can become something its founders never intended. Leaders are honored because God used them, and such honor may initially be entirely appropriate. The next generation begins attaching unusual importance to their names. Their teaching becomes a school. The school becomes a movement. The movement develops recognized voices. Recognized voices become authorities. Authorities develop circles of influence, and before long proximity to important people can begin carrying more weight than hidden faithfulness before God.

None of those stages automatically represents corruption. Organization is not inherently religious. Networks are not inherently religious. Titles are not inherently sinful. Relationships and accountability can be tremendous gifts.

The danger appears when these things begin producing a spiritual caste system.

Jesus warned His disciples repeatedly because He understood what power does to fallen humanity. The answer was never the absence of authority. The answer was crucified authority.

Paul therefore told the Philippians to possess the mind of Christ, who did not exploit His position but “made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7). Kingdom authority becomes safest when the person carrying it has already surrendered the need to be important.

THE WATCHMEN KEPT SOUNDING THE SAME WARNING

As the centuries passed, the language changed, the structures changed, and the names attached to movements changed, but the warning did not disappear. Again and again, voices arose within the Church calling God’s people back from pride, human ambition, spiritual self-importance, and dependence upon religious machinery. They did not all share the same ecclesiology, nor would it be historically responsible to pretend they did. Some believed strongly in formal episcopal structures, others worked within established denominations, and still others became voices of reform outside the dominant systems of their day. Yet running through many of their writings is a common concern: spiritual authority becomes dangerous when the servant forgets that the authority belongs to Christ and begins treating what was entrusted to him as something that establishes his own greatness.

John Chrysostom, preaching in the fourth century, repeatedly pointed his hearers toward Paul’s humility. When Chrysostom considered Paul’s description of himself as the least of the apostles and later as less than the least of all saints, he did not see these words as theatrical self-deprecation. He saw in Paul a man whose usefulness had not produced an inflated opinion of himself. The greater the grace Paul experienced, the more deeply he understood that everything he possessed had been received from Christ. Chrysostom could look at one of the most influential apostles in Christian history and still point primarily to his humility rather than to his rank.

That is significant for the apostolic movement of our own day. Paul never needed to diminish his calling in order to remain humble. He knew he was an apostle. He understood the authority attached to his assignment, confronted error when necessary, established churches, appointed elders, and expected those churches to take his instructions seriously. Yet the consciousness of that authority never permitted him to forget that he was a recipient of mercy. The authority was real, but so was the humility. The office never became an excuse for self-exaltation.

Centuries later, the reforming movements of Europe would again expose the tension between spiritual truth and institutional preservation. The Reformers were themselves imperfect men, and some of the movements that grew from their work eventually developed institutions, traditions, and identities of their own. That alone should teach us something. A generation may break free from one religious structure and then unknowingly construct another around the revelation it recovered. The human heart possesses an astonishing ability to turn yesterday’s breakthrough into tomorrow’s monument.

John Wesley recognized that danger within revival itself. In his sermon The Mystery of Iniquity, Wesley looked back toward the primitive Church and identified the love of money as one of the early corrupting forces that entered among believers. He then carried the warning into his own generation and asked whether the same temptation would appear whenever God revived His work again. His concern was not that revival was false. His concern was that genuine revival did not make the people participating in it immune from corruption.

That insight deserves serious consideration today. We often speak as though the evidence that God once moved through a ministry or movement automatically validates everything that later develops around it. Church history does not allow us to make that assumption. God may genuinely begin something, lives may be transformed, truth may be recovered, and spiritual gifts may be awakened, yet the people stewarding that movement must continue walking in humility, repentance, discernment, and dependence upon Holy Spirit. Galatians 3:3 remains painfully relevant: “Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” The question is not simply whether God was present at the beginning. We must continue asking whether we are still following the One who began the work.

The nineteenth century gave the Church another powerful witness in Charles Spurgeon. Few preachers of his era possessed greater public influence, yet Spurgeon repeatedly warned against confusing popularity with spiritual approval. Speaking of Christ, he emphasized that Jesus never shaped His message in order to preserve popularity, even when crowds surrounded Him. In another sermon Spurgeon went so far as to describe ministerial popularity as something lighter than vanity because public admiration could shift with astonishing speed.

Spurgeon’s warning becomes even more striking when we remember that he spoke from the position of enormous public visibility. Thousands gathered to hear him, his sermons circulated internationally, and his name became known far beyond London. Yet the size of the audience did not become his definition of spiritual authority. This gives us an important lens through which to view the present age. Today we can measure ministry visibility almost instantly through followers, views, subscriptions, conference attendance, book sales, invitations, and social-media engagement. Those measurements can tell us how far a message has traveled, but they cannot tell us whether the vessel carrying that message has been approved by Heaven. Reach measures reach. It does not measure holiness, humility, obedience, or apostolic authority.

This is where religion becomes extraordinarily deceptive, because it can take something useful and quietly turn it into a spiritual measuring rod. There is nothing inherently wrong with a large congregation, a large platform, a successful book, an international ministry, or widespread influence. The Kingdom needs voices capable of reaching nations. The problem begins when visibility becomes interpreted as rank, when popularity begins functioning as validation, and when proximity to influential personalities begins carrying more weight than hidden faithfulness before God.

Andrew Murray, writing across the closing decades of the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth, continually brought Christian life back to surrender, humility, and communion with God. His teaching on prayer insisted that true spiritual life grows out of dependence upon the Father rather than confidence in self. That emphasis exposes one of the deepest differences between Kingdom authority and religious status. Kingdom authority becomes stronger as self-dependence dies. Religious status becomes stronger as the image of the leader grows.

E. M. Bounds pressed the issue even further. Writing about prayer and ministry, Bounds argued that the preacher’s true power could never be separated from the hidden life with God. He warned specifically that the pride of learning and self-sufficiency stood against the dependent humility required in prayer. For Bounds, the answer to a powerless pulpit was not greater machinery, greater polish, or greater recognition. It was the restoration of men who knew God in the secret place.

That may be one of the most necessary words for the Ecclesia in this hour. We have developed remarkable systems for creating leaders. We have conferences, schools, networks, mentoring structures, credentialing processes, leadership pipelines, publishing platforms, podcasts, social media, and endless teaching about influence. Many of these things can be genuinely useful, but none of them can manufacture what is formed when a man or woman shuts the door and remains before God until ambition loses its voice.

The secret place does something to a servant that a platform never can. It confronts the need to be seen. It exposes motives that applause can hide. It reminds the leader that before there was a microphone, a title, an invitation, a network, or a following, there was simply a son or daughter standing before the Father. When that reality remains central, public authority can be carried without becoming personal property. When it is lost, even legitimate authority can slowly become attached to identity, prestige, and position.

WHEN REVIVAL BECOMES A STRUCTURE

This pattern becomes especially important when we look at the renewal movements of the twentieth century. We must handle this history carefully because these movements were not identical and should not be collapsed into one continuous organization. The Latter Rain movement emerged in the late 1940s, the Charismatic Renewal spread widely through established denominations beginning in the 1960s, the Shepherding Movement rose primarily during the 1970s, and what later became widely described as the Third Wave gained prominence in the 1980s. Each movement had its own leaders, emphases, controversies, and theological distinctions.

Yet across these decades we can see a continuing hunger to recover dimensions of New Testament life that institutional Christianity had often neglected. Believers desired a living encounter with Holy Spirit, the operation of spiritual gifts, healing, prophecy, discipleship, spiritual authority, and a Church that was more than a weekly religious service. I believe much of that hunger reflected a genuine movement of God. The fact that human weakness later entered portions of these movements does not erase what God may have originally released through them.

This is where mature discernment is necessary. We do not honor Heaven by pretending that everything associated with a genuine movement of God must therefore have come from God. Scripture itself refuses that logic. The Corinthian church possessed spiritual gifts and serious disorder at the same time. Galatia experienced the Spirit yet became vulnerable to legalism. Churches planted through apostolic ministry still required correction. The presence of genuine spiritual activity never eliminated the need for discernment.

The Shepherding Movement provides one sobering example of how a biblical concern can become distorted when human control enters the equation. Discipleship, accountability, covenant relationships, and mature spiritual oversight are biblical ideas. Yet when submission to Christ becomes functionally replaced by excessive dependence upon a human leader, something has shifted. The problem is not accountability. The problem is when accountability begins possessing authority Scripture never granted it.

The same principle must be applied to every apostolic or prophetic movement, including our own. We may begin with a genuine revelation that Christ gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers for the equipping of His people according to Ephesians 4:11–13. That truth deserves recovery. Yet if we are not careful, the recovery of the apostolic gift can gradually become the construction of an apostolic class.

Those are not the same thing.

An apostolic gift exists to equip the Body. An apostolic class exists to distinguish certain people above the Body. One releases sons and daughters into maturity; the other can create dependence upon spiritual elites. One carries authority as stewardship; the other is tempted to treat authority as status. One points toward the Head; the other can unintentionally cause people to continually look toward the hierarchy beneath Him.

WHEN HONOR BECOMES HIERARCHY

Scripture commands us to honor those who labor among us. First Timothy 5:17 speaks of elders who rule well being worthy of double honor, particularly those laboring in the Word and doctrine. Hebrews 13 calls believers to remember and respond appropriately to spiritual leaders. Romans 12:10 tells the whole Body to prefer one another in honor. Honor, therefore, is thoroughly biblical.

But biblical honor and religious hierarchy are not identical.

Honor recognizes grace without creating an untouchable class. Honor appreciates the gift while remembering that the gift came from God. Honor can receive correction from a leader while still testing everything by Scripture and Holy Spirit. Honor does not require pretending a leader is incapable of error, nor does it transfer the believer’s responsibility to hear and obey God onto another human being.

The danger appears when honor becomes a system in which importance flows upward while service flows downward. In that atmosphere, the most recognized personalities receive the greatest access, the best seats, the strongest introductions, and increasingly exalted language, while the quiet servants carrying hidden assignments can become practically invisible. Yet Jesus repeatedly reversed precisely this kind of value system. He noticed the widow with two mites. He welcomed children others considered interruptions. He chose fishermen, tax collectors, and ordinary people. He washed the feet of men who called Him Lord.

That does not mean there should never be a front row, a reserved seat, a conference speaker, or public recognition. The issue is not furniture. The issue is the heart.

When the seat begins defining greatness, we have forgotten Jesus.

When association begins defining importance, we have forgotten Jesus.

When the title begins demanding treatment the servant would never have requested before receiving it, something has changed.

This is why the distinction must remain clear: the problem is not recognized leadership or spiritual authority. Scripture clearly gives both. The issue is when authority ceases to function as service and begins functioning as status; when an apostolic gift becomes an apostolic class; when honor becomes hierarchy; and when the attention that belongs to Christ begins gathering around personalities.

HEAVEN IS SHIFTING THE LANDSCAPE AGAIN

I believe we are entering another season of correction and restoration. This is not Heaven dismantling leadership. I believe Heaven is purifying our understanding of it. Christ is restoring the foundation of His Ecclesia so that spiritual fathers and mothers can carry genuine authority without needing to become spiritual celebrities, and so that emerging sons and daughters can be equipped without being trained to worship the systems that equipped them.

There is also something happening among younger believers that should capture our attention. Many of them are unimpressed by religious machinery for its own sake. They have seen enough polished Christianity to know that production does not necessarily equal Presence. They have watched spiritual personalities rise and fall in real time. They have witnessed scandals exposed across social media, institutions protecting reputations, and ministries built around personalities struggling when those personalities failed. Consequently, many are asking a much deeper question: Where is Jesus in all of this?

That hunger should not be dismissed as rebellion simply because it does not always honor the forms previous generations built. Some of it undoubtedly needs maturity and biblical grounding, but beneath much of it lies a desire for authenticity. They are searching for an encounter with God that cannot be manufactured by lighting, branding, titles, organizational charts, or carefully managed experiences. They want to know Christ, hear Holy Spirit, understand Scripture, walk in genuine spiritual authority, and see a Kingdom that continues working when the conference is over.

At the same time, I believe Holy Spirit has been working in another generation largely outside public view. Seasoned men and women who have walked through warfare, failure, correction, disappointment, victory, pruning, and restoration are being brought into a deeper surrender. God has not wasted their scars. He has been removing from them the need to be celebrated for what they carry.

These seasoned warriors may become some of the most important voices in the coming shift precisely because they have lost the appetite for becoming important voices. Their question is no longer, “Where is my seat?” Their question is, “Father, what is my assignment?” Their concern is not whether their name appears on the program but whether the King’s purpose is accomplished in the room.

This is the kind of spiritual fatherhood and motherhood the next generation desperately needs. Not leaders who gather sons and daughters around themselves as evidence of their own importance, but fathers and mothers who equip those sons and daughters until they can stand mature before Christ, hear God for themselves, fulfill their assignments, and eventually go farther than those who trained them.

That is Ephesians 4 leadership at its best. The apostle does not equip the saints so that everyone will continually need the apostle. The apostle equips the saints “for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,” until maturity is produced and the Body grows into Christ, who is the Head (Ephesians 4:12–15).

The destination of apostolic ministry is therefore not the apostle.

The destination is Christlike maturity throughout the Ecclesia.

THE TEST OF THE NEXT MOVE OF GOD

Perhaps one of the greatest tests facing the next movement of God will not be whether we can carry power. Church history has demonstrated repeatedly that God is willing to pour His Spirit upon imperfect people. The greater test may be whether we can carry what He releases without building our identity around being the ones through whom He released it.

Can God move through us without us naming the movement after ourselves?

Can we father people without possessing them?

Can we carry authority without demanding recognition?

Can we build something that survives us because it was never fundamentally built around us?

Can we rejoice when someone we trained exceeds our influence?

Can another man’s ministry increase while ours becomes less visible without jealousy entering the heart?

These questions bring us back to John the Baptist. When people told John that the crowds were beginning to move toward Jesus, John did not fight to preserve his market share. He understood his assignment and responded, “He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30). John understood that success in the Kingdom meant accomplishing the assignment Heaven had given him, even when accomplishing that assignment eventually moved attention away from himself.

That is the heart I believe Holy Spirit is restoring.

The coming generation does not need apostles with less authority. It needs apostles with so much security in Christ that they can carry tremendous authority without needing the authority to make them feel significant. It does not need prophets who stop speaking boldly. It needs prophets whose boldness comes from the secret place rather than from a platform. It does not need pastors who surrender leadership. It needs shepherds who remember that the sheep belong to Jesus. It does not need teachers without conviction. It needs teachers who would rather make Christ understood than make themselves admired.

THE KING MUST TAKE CENTER STAGE AGAIN

If there is a reformation taking place in the apostolic movement, I do not believe its final purpose is to destroy what God has restored. It is to remove what religion has attached to it. Holy Spirit is perfectly capable of separating the precious from the profane without abandoning the gift itself.

We need apostles.

We need prophets.

We need evangelists.

We need pastors.

We need teachers.

We need elders.

We need spiritual fathers and mothers.

We need genuine governmental authority in the Ecclesia.

But above every apostle stands the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus Christ according to Hebrews 3:1. Above every shepherd stands the Chief Shepherd of 1 Peter 5:4. Behind every teacher stands the One the disciples called Teacher and Lord. Every genuine ministry gift therefore derives its authority from Someone greater and remains accountable to Him.

The safest apostolic leader is not the one whose followers are most impressed by his authority. It is the one who has remained deeply aware that he is himself under authority.

The safest spiritual father is the one who never forgets that the sons and daughters entrusted to him ultimately belong to the Father.

The safest prophetic voice is the one willing to disappear rather than manipulate people to preserve his platform.

The safest Kingdom warrior is the one who has already settled before God that obedience matters more than recognition.

I believe that is part of the spiritual landscape now shifting before us. Holy Spirit is exposing the cracks through which religion has entered while simultaneously calling genuine leaders into deeper purity. This does not have to become another rebellion against authority. In fact, if we respond correctly, it can become the restoration of authority to its biblical purpose.

The goal is not leaderless Christianity.

The goal is Christ-centered Ecclesia.

The goal is not to dishonor those who have gone before us.

The goal is to honor what God genuinely released through them while refusing to perpetuate anything human ambition attached to it.

The goal is not to tear down apostles.

The goal is to restore apostolic ministry to the pattern of the One who washed feet, carried the Cross, gave Himself for His people, and taught His disciples that greatness in His Kingdom would forever be measured through servanthood.

I believe a generation is emerging that will carry that revelation differently. Younger sons and daughters are becoming hungry for the King Himself, while seasoned warriors are being refined in hidden places where recognition has little value and obedience becomes everything. When those generations meet, something powerful can happen. Wisdom can join hunger. Experience can join fire. Fathers and mothers can release sons and daughters without possessing them, and sons and daughters can honor fathers and mothers without idolizing them.

Then perhaps the Ecclesia will rediscover something we should never have forgotten: the greatest servants in the Kingdom are not necessarily those whose names become known throughout the earth. They are those who faithfully fulfill the assignment of Heaven while spending their lives making the name of the King known.

May Holy Spirit remove every scale from our eyes that causes us to confuse gifting with greatness, visibility with authority, honor with hierarchy, or influence with divine approval. May He cleanse from us every religious seed that has quietly taken root. May He restore the fear of the Lord to leadership, humility to authority, prayer to the secret place, and Jesus Christ to the unquestioned center of His Ecclesia.

And when this generation has finished its assignment, may we leave behind something greater than ministries bearing our names. May we leave behind mature sons and daughters who know their King, recognize His voice, carry His authority, love His presence, serve His people, and possess no greater ambition than to see His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

And may the American Church once again become what Christ intended her to be: not an audience gathered around a brand, but a living, equipped, discerning Ecclesia standing under the absolute lordship of Jesus Christ.

Stay tuned, the journey continues…..
