Just a Bartender was reviewed and approved for global distribution by the largest audio book publisher in the world. The subtitle says it all: Unexpected People Change the World That’s you, and that’s me. Through a series of stories and real-life situations, Just a Bartender illustrates how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary tasks.

This week in the United States we celebrate something so very blessed and unusual in the world—“Thanksgiving.” Pausing for a moment, we collectively bow our heads to thank God for His provision and protection.

It’s a historic gathering. One pastor from Los Angeles wrote me after attending last year’s summit: “I’ve never been as challenged, as affirmed, or as motivated as I was at Lions Roar. This shocked me. I thought it was just a conference. It’s actually a gathering of warriors. I was caught up in the middle of...

At the US election in two weeks, I'm voting for the Kingdom of God. My vote is for Christ.When I ascertain the merits of a candidate, my first standard is the Word of God, not a political party.Then I'm looking at how the candidates treat their family, their spouse, their staff, so I can see what their life might be like when they're out of the lights. My next concern is my community, do they add value or is it all just talk?
