I’m really excited to share this podcast with you today because it reflects my heart to become a radical, sweet follower of Jesus Christ. I pray it blesses you.
The Gist:
I had the privilege of attending a world evangelization congress in 2010. (CapeTown 2010). Afterward, I gave this message. Here are the 12 traits:
- Take radical risks of sacrifice
- Understand God’s rule over politics
- Dare to reconcile with enemies
- Bring worry about money to the foot of the cross
- See persecution as normative
- Have a passion to see the gospel advanced (home and abroad)
- Be willing to die or suffer for beliefs
- Welcome all kinds of people to the table of God
- Seek to love the world, not live in fear of it
- Lay down reputation
- Live a victorious life
- Love Christ above everything else. Believe in His all-sufficiency
Scripture: Isaiah 30: 1-2
What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,”
says the Lord.
“You make plans that are contrary to mine.
You make alliances not directed by my Spirit,
thus piling up your sins.
For without consulting me,
you have gone down to Egypt for help.
You have put your trust in Pharaoh’s protection.
You have tried to hide in his shade.
Acts 14:22b: Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”

As you may or may not know, I’m taking a much-needed sabbatical this summer. Read about that here. So I’ll be sharing some of my talks, interviews and teachings that have been a benefit to others from years past. I pray that these messages deeply, profoundly bless you.
