Changes. There are adjustment changes in life, like adjusting the picnic due to rain, or adjusting to a new position at work, etc.
There are also disruptive changes, changes that fundamentally alter our lives. Our world is full of disruptive change right now—economic, technology, climate, balance of power.
The spiritual rhythm of life is in [...]

A true revolution changes the way people fundamentally behave.
People say we have had a technology revolution. I disagree. There has not been a technology revolution because the way we fundamentally do what we do has not changed—it has only gotten faster.

As the fall season approaches most of us enter into new routines. The prayer focus of our Tribe for the next couple of weeks is for pastors and educational ministers, book club and small group leaders to choose No Mercy as their Fall study material.
On another note, Preston and Di are reentering their routines [...]

Thank you for praying for the very first book singing. Pictures are posted on the No Mercy page on Facebook. The No Mercy team is very excited that the first promotion of the book occurred in a bar. After all, the fist century bars were the kinds of places where Jesus hung out. We are [...]

The first official book signing of No Mercy is today, in an hour to be precise. This is fantastic news. It gets even better. The location of the signing is in a bar, not just any bar, the Dog Bar and Grill in Cuchara, Colorado, to be exact. Father must have something special for this [...]

In case you are wondering how is Father answering your prayers, check out the official No Mercy page on Facebook.
Your intercession is making a difference in the lives of people. If you are tempted to pause, get distracted, or God forbid, quit praying, hear the words of this reader, “I am so grateful for this [...]

Prayer Tribe warriors all hands on deck! The enemy has devised a new plan to derail the No Mercy team. And not just the team. The readers of No Mercy are getting hit as well.
Consider this: each person on the No Mercy team has faced demanding life circumstance in the last week. Not [...]

The readership of No Mercy is growing daily. The feedback is very positive and exciting. But I am very interested in feedback from you all, the Prayer Tribe.
If you have started reading you probably realized that the book demands that you pause frequently and consider what you have just read. If you are [...]

The first week of the e-book launch is behind us and as expected struggles and victories abounded.
The bad news first.
- Preston’s mom is in much pain and needs round the clock care as well as your prayers
- My mom is back from the hospital with a lot of pain in her leg and no doctors’ [...]

Thank you for praying for me this week. The death of my friend—our friend—Kevin Walker, Walkit.org, is a monstrous loss. I told a friend today after lunch that there is no way to process Kevin’s life or death with our intellects.
If there was a recipe for greatness then we could bottle it and sell [...]

I received an email update today from my editor. Here’s what he wrote:
“I’m still working away here. It’s been a challenge – not because of the manuscript (it’s in great shape), but because of life stuff and illness. I’m guessing some spiritual warfare thing might be at play, too. Would make sense.”
One of the misconceptions [...]

It’s Thursday night—probably Friday morning by the time you read this post. I was just sitting by the fire and thinking backward when it occurred to me that I should let you know what’s on my mind.
I fought a brutal battle against feeling insignificant for years–and have now written a book about it called, [...]

Seth Godin writes in his blog today that he wants to hear my opinion. Based upon my reading of Godin, I imagine if he were my boss, he would want to hear my opinion—or my comment.
But leaders like Godin are not as common as they could be. Dianne and I have been reading through [...]

As you read my posts from the last few days, you can practically hear frustration oozing from the lines. The technical glitch was ridiculous. Getting it resolved bordered on insane. But I persisted. The glitch is gone (I think).
I am persistent. Persistence has carried me up and over Paradise Divide on my bicycle—and back [...]

Dianne (my wife) and I want to introduce you to a dear friend, Reny Madjarska, and ask you to join her in forming a Prayer Tribe to pray for us and my nearly-completed book, “No Mercy.”
Reny and I worked together for eleven years at Lifetime Guarantee Ministries. She is talented, trustworthy, and has a [...]

A lot of folks figure that if you are a follower of Christ and lead people that you are a Christian leader. That’s trite. Too simplistic, and therefore contributes to abetting the enemy’s tactic of rendering Christianity and Christian leadership irrelevant, distant, and out of touch.
One aspect of leadership is leading the way. You [...]
