Sept22StoryRobert

I'm 27, and I spent all of my twenties in prison, but Wild at Heart set me free. To be honest, no book other than the Scriptures has affected me more than Wild at Heart has. I hid behind a false self of a charming personality and overachiever to...

Karate Sept 15 story

Thank you for your heart and your ministry.  My story mirrors that of so many others who have read the fruits of your ministry and have been reclaimed by a loving Savior.  My story is one of an absent father, two failed marriages and the belief that I "just gotta be nicer!"

God let me sink to my own version of hell and then pulled...

Sept 8 Sword

Swords.  That’s what started my journey at age 30.  Well, let me back up.  When my brother and I were kids, we found a box in the garage which contained four or five obviously home-made knives.  We asked our father about it and he told us that he’d made them when he was our age.  We were hooked!  Dad helped us make some Japanese styled katanas out of some...

Bristlecone

I almost didn't come to Boot Camp.  Even after I made plane reservations.  I was afraid to be with other men (intimidation).  But I came anyway because I was chosen the first time I put my name in the lottery.  I guess God did want me to go.

Before I came I knew that I had a very severe wound of shame.  However, during my Friday session quiet...

I am showing the Captivating DVD Series to a group of 65 Year 9 girls. I have been able to find 'teenager friendly' DVD clips to support each lesson which has worked very well. Because of their age I have found that adapting some of the questions in the study and facilitator's guide has also been necessary and because of time constraints I only use a few questions from each guide for both written and discussion prompts which take place in smaller groups later in the week. My heart for the girls is that they address these issues , and are aware of the issues brought out in the series early in life. Last week after our small group discussion we went to our Middle School chapel where the speaker reinforced what we...

I loved John's message in the March newsletter. I've been a Christian all my life and had Jesus horribly confused. I'm listening to the Gospels right now and finding him to be a completely different (and completely perplexing) figure. And I love him! So much goodness and freedom!

We have recently finished reading your book, Love and War.  In the past eight months, our 25 year marriage had been to the brink of disaster,and divorce was brought up on more than a few occasions during horrible fights we would rather not remember.  Unfortunately, our pastor and a Christian psychologist the pastor referred us to could not accept that the ROOT of our marital problems was spiritual, though we felt we had adequate proof.  We truly know that we were being tormented and oppressed by demons, and without going into all the gruesome details, we ended up dropping all counseling and simply prayed with great intensity while reading every Christian marriage book we could get our hands on, as well as...

I wrote to you guys a few weeks back about my sister Sarah and her husband Mohammed. They attended your 'Love and War' event in Austin. Just wanted to give you an update.....but first let me say THANK YOU for praying for them! The enemy tried hard to deter Mohammed from going, but the Lord won out! My sister told me it was awesome (of course!) and that although Mohammed didn't say much about it, she knows he was touched by the things you said. At one point she looked over at him and could see a tear rolling down his cheek. Praise God that His Spirit melts us, and praise God for your ministry! If you recall, Mohammed had asked Sarah for a divorce just a few days before your event. Since then, he has not mentioned...

For 4 days, a company of leaders and friends from Guadalajara and Mexico City escaped from the urban chaos, work, and responsibilities to encounter God together on the skirts of central Mexico's legendary volcanos.  We hiked, fished, laughed, ate, ran, and sat around the fire together.  As you know, we gathered together around Christ through the 9 Boot Camp conversations.   We talked about the continued discoveries of our place in the the giant story, God's epic and it's course in central Mexico. One dear friend and leader said, “I carry with me the vision of building strong bands of brothers throughout the kingdom who know what it is to search for God and life together.  I feel full of hope, and will give my...
