Over the 31yrs I’ve been professing Christ, I’ve been blessed to see many people receive His call. Prisoners, orphans, any and all who humbled themselves and sought Him found Him. Sadly, I have also seen some that just couldn’t believe that Jesus was better than whatever vice held them. There were also others who intentionally […]
We already know that God prepared good works for us to walk in (Ephesians 2:10). So how can we be ready to walk in them? It’s quite simple: spend as much time in the word as possible every day. Don’t be content with looking at the verse of the day for a few seconds while […]
I used to love seeing myself as strong. Perhaps it’s all those Chuck Norris, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Sylvester Stallone movies I watched as a kids. Or, it could be born out of insecurities and not correctly understanding my value. We typically boast in ourselves to hide those weaknesses and insecurities. What if insecurities played […]
It’s easy to remember and cry out to God when things are hard and we are walking through the wilderness. In fact, God at times allows these hard times to happen so that we return to Him. But what about during the times of prosperity? How quick we are to claim the glory of “our […]
What greater love is there that someone would lay down their life for yours? We know that Jesus did that exact thing for us and demonstrated His love because we were sinners.

When I look back at my life, there are periods of time that remind me of the movie The Matrix. I was lost in a world that seemed so real. I was focused on my career, ‘feeding myself’, and carrying out my dreams. Meanwhile there were sheep to be shepherded and disciples to be made […]
I’m convinced that a good portion of the body of Christ lives as I once did: semi-disconnected from my purpose. I was well aware of the commission God had given me and actively shared my faith, but still felt something was missing. My mission looked a lot like a roller coaster of mountain top experiences […]
My life gets a little busy. Having 22 children, 11 grandchildren, an international Young Living business, prayer group of close to 900, and my MP Warrior brand is a lot to manage. There are times when I can get sucked into a mode of busyness and begin to travel at Mach V. When this happens […]
Who would have thought one instruction could be so tough to live out? We might do okay living out this passage normally until it’s time for church on Sunday morning and you have a few kids that need to be ready to go. Mysteriously, one of the shoes and half of the clothing you set […]
