Discernment is needed in these times when so much deception abounds. The Luciferian spirit is one that tempts gifted leaders and potential leaders in the Body of Christ. It targets those in close proximity to the senior leader, especially those with musical and spiritual gifts such as healing and miracles. Here is a teaching on how it operates and how to stay free.

Judge Not, But Execute Judgment
Posted On: January 6th, 2010 By:When seeing a person take that wrong turn and begin to speak and behave in a contrary manner, the challenge before the leader is to discern between his own soul and spirit, so as to have the proper response.
Biblical Dream Interpretation Workshop Jan 29-30
Posted On: December 29th, 2009 By:Was that weird dream from last night’s pizza? …Or not?
All around us people are receiving messages through dreams– messages which they may not understand. Both Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar had dreams from God that they could not understand without the help of godly men.
The Bible has a very positive view of dreams. In this FUN workshop, you will learn the principles of dream interpretation, starting with an examination of dreams from the Bible. Using those principles, the class will begin to unravel some modern dreams including some from the workshop students.
As you learn to interpret, you will also gain insights into some of your own puzzling dreams!
Registration Deadline: Jan 22.
When Your Call Changes
Posted On: December 16th, 2009 By:Change is not always easily welcomed or understood, especially when it comes to church. Christians may struggle with the idea that a change in function may appear to be abandonment of the call, when actually it is the call itself that has changed… See complete article here.
Ever Hopeful
Posted On: December 9th, 2009 By:Joshua waited 40 years to enter the Promised Land due to other people’s behavior. When it was finally time to enter, he was insistent that their hope was guarded from negativity and fear, by not allowing the people to talk as they marched around Jericho.
A leader is a dealer in hope, and a leader will persevere when others quit.
These stories were written for our instruction that we might have hope.

The Pushmi-Pullyu
Posted On: December 2nd, 2009 By:In the children’s story of Doctor Doolittle, he finds an animal like a llama or antelope with two heads at opposite ends of the body, called a Pushmi-Pullyu (”push-me-pull-you”). When it wanted to move, both heads tried to go in opposite directions. Each mind had its own idea of what to do! Read on
What is a Life Coach?
Posted On: November 24th, 2009 By:In the Church, the roles of the mentor and counselor are accepted and understood, looked to for instruction, direction, and advice. Coaching is a less understood function, a fact complicated by the numbers of people calling themselves coaches, whether or not they have received specialized training.
A life coach or leadership coach has been trained (and coached) in a different skill set than a mentor or counselor. The mentor imparts knowledge; the counselor seeks to heal and restore. The underlying premise of coaching is that God has made you the steward of your life, not the coach. Therefore, a coach does not tell you what to do, but works with you to help you discover what course of action to take and why. A Christian coach is interested in helping you understand what work God is accomplishing within you at this season of your life.
“Mentoring is imparting to you what God has given me; coaching is drawing out of you what God has put in you.” ~ Dale Stoll
Is Something Missing?
