His video series are very edifying and greatly humorous.

And virtually all his staff I’ve ever met with or talked to on the phone have been top flight in fruits of The Spirit, too.

“ruined me for . . . “ . . . is that now a well known term? LOL.

“ruined me for ". . .

*************

Back in the day--

I was plodding along with low expectations for the traditional American denominational way of "easy (western) Christianity" --

You know... the four-speed four-door well-marked high-speed expressway to Heaven...
...singing and smiling and picnicking at my leisure along the way...

**********

Our mutual friend sent me home from a conference with a very personal prayer assignment-- and when God answered my heart-cry in that season... It was Christ's calling on my life...

I knew the remainder of my faith journey would require a steep climb--not an easy path; with many risks-- no crowded expressways... no picnic basket...

I also learned that the long distance between "calling" and "commission" was the high road of maturity in Christ's character--and the fruit and power of the Holy Spirit--

Yup... ruined...
...And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hope this explains...

His grace and peace be with you every step of the way!
