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

Honey in the Carcass
I became a believer in 1990.The day after I converted, I walked into the streets and never really left them. From 1990 to 2017 I stood on the margins, calling the church to repent.I yelled for reformation and revival in tin shacks with a single bulb swinging overhead.I screamed the same message in mega-churches that Continue reading

Why is the Gospel good news to the poor?
Because it was addressed to them first. Not spiritually ever-after. Not metaphorically broke. Not “poor in spirit” as a poetic euphemism for everyone. The actual poor. The overlooked. The overworked. The underpaid. The stepped on. The always last. The first exploited. The first blamed. The last resourced. Jesus didn’t open His ministry in Rome, the Continue reading
