The Bleating of the Sheep
“What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears?”1 Samuel 15:14 Samuel asked this of King Saul after Saul claimed that he had performed what God had required, even though he hadn’t. So Samuel asks, Yeah? So why are the sheep alive? “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears?”—… Continue reading

It’s time, Gen-X
In May of 1961, Kennedy threw a match into the dark and told a nation to do the impossible: land a man on the moon and bring him home alive. We didn’t have the tools yet. That didn’t matter. What mattered was that people moved. Nobody waited to feel ready. Nobody asked if it was… Continue reading

The People’s Revival: Underground
This Isn’t Church. It’s a Signal. There are plenty of voices right now trying to tell you what to believe, who to fear, and which version of God will tolerate you. They sell certainty, demand obedience, and punish questions. This isn’t that. The People’s Revival: Underground exists for people who already sensed something was off… Continue reading

Cockeyed Believers
Jesus said something simple and brutally honest: “With me, you’ll find peace. In the world around you, you’ll feel pressure.” He wasn’t trying to confuse anyone. He was describing the truth everyone already lives in — even if they never touch a Bible. There’s the world inside you, and the world around you. One brings… Continue reading

ANNOUNCING THE PEOPLE’S REVIVAL: UNDERGROUND
Where the misfits, the lepers-at-the-gate, and the Lazarus Generation finally get a voice. There’s a whole lot of noise out there—religious noise, political noise, influencer noise. But almost nobody is speaking to the people who actually feel the weight of this moment. The forgotten. The out-of-church. The exvangelical. The working poor. The ones the system… Continue reading

Broken Vessels
Christ was literate.He stood in the synagogue and read the scroll like a man holding lightning.And yet — He wrote nothing.No book. No manual. No theological empire.Why? Because in the Old Testament, the Word of God came objectively — truth delivered from the outside, untouched by human hands.God spoke.Prophets repeated.Like a puppet.Balaam got judged because… Continue reading

The Integrity of His Intentions
We all know the Lord’s Prayer, right? Jesus begins with, “Our Father…” Not a Father. Not the Father. Our Father — personal, intimate, direct. The whole force of the prayer starts with belonging. That matters, because a lot of us were raised on the idea that Jesus loves everyone in general, which somehow made it… Continue reading

An audience of one
In 2005, I preached a three-day revival at a big church in Houston. The meetings started on a Friday, and afterward I took any interested church folks out on the streets to learn real ministry. That night we headed down to Westheimer to talk to the runaways and gutterpunks who lived out there. I arranged… Continue reading

AMERICAN SKIN & THE SOLIDARITY OF GOD
How Being a Traditional Skinhead Shaped My Christianity Recognition — The Roots Run Deeper Than the Rumors Let me say it plain, without apology: I came up in the traditional skinhead world — the real one, the working-class one, the anti-racist one, the boots-on-the-ground brotherhood that predates the hijacking of the look by fascists and… Continue reading

American Sodom
Luxury and Selfishness Have Defined the American Church Principle Luxury has become our liturgy. Selfishness, our creed. The American church, once the outpost of mercy, has become the mall of self-congratulation. What we call “blessing” would have been called idolatry by any prophet worth his sandals. We have built a nation of sanctuaries lined with… Continue reading
