Were you watching my life when you wrote the New Testament Prophet?
I can’t express to you how much you have helped free me.
The Church Refugee sanity video you posted last week gave us some sanity. Thank you so so much.
I have been working through your book on worship. It is truth that I have been coming into in my own understanding over the past few years. Your book brings it altogether in depths I had not yet seen.
I can’t express to you how much you have helped free me. Thank you
How I wish I would’ve come across a read like this/been exhorted as much when I was a few years more youthful…..my soul may have been spared a great deal of malarkey.
My wife has been freed. She now understands her emotional upheavals and helped her to see herself as ‘normal.’
I feel like I’ve been spinning my wheels for years and now like a babe relearning everything fresh n new.
The CRSG series helped me fit the pieces of my own experience in order and answered so many questions as to why so few people make the move to freedom in Christ.

I think each church leader needs to read these books, I may buy one for our leaders
I wish I would have seen all of that when I was younger. It would have saved me years of heartache.

I read Silent Killers Of Faith and it has changed my pastoral life from legalism to New Covenant preaching.
I can’t seem to put your books down.
I gotta tell you that you are the most straight shooting guy I have ever met.
This little book about Matthew 18 is a great little treasure. I think that that 5 dollar book could save people a ton of hurt

Thanks to your prophetic mind seminar, I now understand why people respond to me the way they do.
Anyone who thinks he or she might be prophetic, or works or lives with someone who is, should attend this seminar.
As a result of being at your seminar on the prophetic mind, I feel like I have been put in touch with my creator for the first time.
Thanks to your prophetic seminar I am now free to be an authentic blessing to others, instead of always feeling like there is something wrong with me, because I can never seem to ”fit in.”
The residents in our recovery facility love your articles, so thank you – your writings become part of their discipleship and recovery
Great insights Steve!! 4 years ago our 16 year old daughter Grace started up an Adaptive Ski Program and it has really helped us to reach out to the community who have physical/mental and emotional challenges along with their family members. It has been a very rewarding thing but just as you talked about in order to get “out” youve got to reach out beyond your comfort zone. The Holy Spirit will lead each one uniquely in reaching out in unique ways. It helps to break that church mindset.
We have met some amazing people and some “different” people but the Lord has done the greatest work in Grace and I as we see that Jesus and the Father love these people so much and yes it is a challenge not to talk “christianeze” all day long. It has been hard but wonderful at the same time! Get out there, it really works! Start an adventure with the Holy Spirit.
Hi Janice, that is a GREAT testimony and exactly what we are talking about!
My problem at 25 (just returning home from college) was knowing I had to disembed, but not quite knowing how. I wish you had made this video then! 🙂 In addition to the depression of leaving my college friends behind (most of whom showed me what true Kingdom living looked like) I was very ill for about 3 months with intense abdominal pain that turned out to be a cyst. This left a lot of time to read, and what I read in the Bible freaked me out! First there was that verse about if you’re building a house you count the cost, so you should count the cost of following Jesus. (Nobody told me that when I accepted Christ at age 7! This led to a “Yikes! What did I do back then?” feeling, and having to forgive my younger self.) Second, there was this: 2nd Peter 2:20, “For if AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS OF THE WORLD THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 2:21, “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER THEY HAVE KNOWN IT, TO TURN from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2:22, “But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”I then said to myself, “There’s no way out of the church (institution)? Really?” I was so scared and angry by that point that I told God I was never reading the Bible again except for the stories I had liked as a child… then turned to the story of Rachel protecting her family’s idols, and then questioned why she would do that… then decided I wasn’t going to read the Bible anymore. I guess this is my equivalent of the “You ruined my life, thank you very much, Jesus!” because nothing could make God angrier than us not reading His holy book, or so I thought at the time….
Now I realize 2 Peter 20-22 is relating to those who came to Christ and continued to live in sin, thereby implying they didn’t really want Christ, but I didn’t know that then. I have realized through you and others how full the Bible as we know it today is of human error and political correctness as well. I guess I just added this to say that the way I understood certain Bible verses at the time nearly kept me from disembedding!
I certainly understand, Sarah. Your journey is uniquely yours, but change the details, and tens of thousands have had the same experience as you, so even in your history, you are not alone, you are not alone now, there are those around you who understand, and Jesus remains faithful.
I can’t edit, so I’ll say the way I understood the Bible could possibly have kept me from disembedding if I hadn’t wanted to.
That is always a possibility, Sarah, our own understanding, or at least “what we have been taught” keeps us from disembedding. We just don;t have confidence in the Holy spirit in us to lead us, and we are certainly not encouraged by the entrenched authority structures to trust Him.
