Breaking the Chains of Shame: Discovering Wholeness I wanted to continue to delve into the topic of shame. As I’ve been working on my book about overcoming shame, I’ve become increasingly fascinated by the subject. The power to overcome and ultimately destroy shame is truly remarkable. It’s a beautiful journey that leads to freedom from shame’s devastation, and isolation. Let’s …
A Living Invitation to His Will Alone
A Living Invitation to His Will Alone I was being coached the other day, and my coach asked me a pregnant question about the subject of my new book, His Will Alone. He asked: What is God’s dream for this book? I was floored and flummoxed by the weight of these words. Part of me wanted to tear up at …
Embrace God’s Plan with ‘His Will Alone’
Embrace God’s Plan with ‘His Will Alone’ Today, I want to share the exciting news that “His Will Alone” has spread its wings to soar and is now available on Kindle eBook and print form on Amazon.com. It promises to reshape the way we perceive our paths in life. “His Will Alone,” illuminates our existence in God’s Will. In this …
Increase of Knowledge, Diminished Wisdom
Increase of Knowledge, Diminished Wisdom We have exponentially increased in our knowledge while our wisdom is ever diminished. We are informational-ly rich while being paupers in life-applicable Wisdom. I can Google any fact and have the answer in a moment, but wisdom is gained slowly and received from the Lord. The good news is that the Lord is generous with …
Relationship with God in the Present Moment
Relationship with God in the Present Moment I have been exploring what it means to focus on the present moment in recent posts. Yet today I want to take the whole thing into a definitive direction. I have alluded to this facet before, but I want to hit it straight on and make it the focus. Our relationship with God …
The Sacrament of the Present Moment
The Sacrament of the Present Moment I have been writing in the last few posts about living in the present moment. For me it is vital and crucial. It is the difference between living in joy and victory or depression and defeat. I so strongly believe this, as I have seen it evident in my life as well as in …
Convergence Theory
Convergence Theory I was listening the other day to something Lance Wallnau was saying and it hit me deeply as I believe he discussed something very real and true about where the Lord is taking me. The message was about convergence theory. “Convergence theory says that God designed you with certain gifts, talents and abilities, so that you have an …
The Sovereign Touch
The Sovereign Touch The Sovereign Touch from a Sovereign God Is God sovereign over this world? Is He sovereign over the evil I see daily? Does His sovereignty include being over elections, governments, and leaders? What about disasters and devastation? Does His sovereignty actually include things beyond the church? Does God’s sovereign hand work things together for Him or for …

Beware of Shame
Beware of Shame Today, I’m continuing to delve deep into a topic that often lurks in the shadows of our lives, affecting us more profoundly than we realize – shame. As I continue work on my upcoming book, “Overcoming Shame,” I’ve come to understand just how cunning and destructive this emotion can be. The project I’m working on, “Overcoming Shame,” …

Lord of the Sovereign Touch For the born-again believer, sovereignty should be the normal Christian life reality. But understanding a truth doesn’t necessarily coincide with receiving it.

Love of Most Will Grow Cold
Love of Most Will Grow Cold I have a question out there for the Lord. Is happiness only found when love is present? Do we only experience happiness, more specifically true joy, when there’s the presence of love? I know that the presence of love affects every aspect and element of our lives. For example, my cooking is best when …
Giving All I am to the Great I AM
Giving All I am to the Great I AM Like the widow with the two mites I bring my gift to God, giving all I am to the Great I AM. So many of us feel that we have nothing to offer others, much less God. And even those who know they have legit talents to give, sometimes feel incapable …
Minimalism: Naked and Unashamed
Minimalism: Naked and Unashamed Adam and Eve lived naked and unashamed until they needed something beyond God. The day they needed more than God, shame entered in. This is tragic because we in this culture, and even in much of the church, have amassed so much stuff to our own demise. It now owns us. We are hoarding to our …

This Present Moment
This Present Moment While looking at this blog with the Lord, and reviewing our purpose and direction, I considered our topics. Every day we get to select a single topic to categorize our individual posts. Sometimes this has not been such an easy task. As a reminder, here is the list: Live the Moment – Releasing the past and future, …
Defeating Toxic Shame
Defeating Toxic Shame Toxic shame makes a negative “I am” statement against our self. Statements like, “I am worthless! I am disgusting! I am stupid! I am flawed! I am not enough! I am of no value!” All these shame statements assign, as well as labels us, as unworthy and contemptible. These types of I am statements go counter to …
Love of Self Prevents Cold Love
Love of Self Prevents Cold Love I would like to circle back around to the topic of the loving of self. I feel like I have explored intently the issue of love grown cold and how destructive it is to ourselves and our world. But all this cold love stems from the absence of loving God and loving self. Love …
Love One Another for Revival to Come
Love One Another for Revival to Come Last Wednesday I wrote about Love as it relates to revival. I searched so many documents from the great revivalists, but something was missing. Most of them stated that we must have love for God to see revival happen, but what they all failed to mention was love for my neighbor. I’m not …
Love Brings in Revival or It’s Nothing
Love Brings in Revival or It’s Nothing –Love is the most vulnerable, frightening, and powerful force in the universe. All of Life emanates from Love first and foremost, or it is nothing. And Love is the only force that can bring in change and revival. Unless I am willing to embrace Love, I will have absolutely nothing of Life and …
Cold Love Prevents Revival
Cold Love Prevents Revival Cold Love: When the Love Of Most Grows Cold In my last few posts I have been discussing revival as it relates to Love. I’ve sought the Lord about this and feel like He’s revealed a huge assault on our experience of revival. Most Christians know that unless we experience a revival in this world, we …
The Love Of Most Growing Cold!
The Love Of Most Growing Cold! Self-love and God-love can’t coexist. Now you might say, “Wait a minute John you recently were calling us to love ourselves?!” There’s a big difference in a loving of ourselves in respect, honor and grace and the exclusive self-focus that isn’t love at all. That false self-love is selfish, entitled and exclusive. In actuality, …
Just How Important is it to Love Yourself?
Just How Important is it to Love Yourself? Here is a rather shocking statement: You are required to love God and love yourself whether or not another single soul on this earth loves you. I can do this by showing myself respect, honor, love and acceptance. Outside of God I am the only other guaranteed constant companion in my life. …
Being a Vessel of LOVE, Love’s Procession
Being a Vessel of LOVE, Love’s Procession Love exposes all that isn’t Love. Love is unregulated and dangerous. When you enter into the untamed waters of the heart and love with God’s Love, all that’s in you which isn’t Love, erupts and comes to the surface. Straight up, you can’t manage Love. I always think that Love should be clean, but it …
For LOVE is Our Current Reality
For LOVE is Our Current Reality We were built for love and to love. Love is our primary source. Our Creator God made us to and for love. If you are born again, LOVE is your current reality. We actually have to go counter to our design to be unloving as regenerate creations. This is both shocking and liberating to …
God is Playing Me Like an Instrument
God is Playing Me Like an Instrument I find that those who love God are pliable and malleable in His hands. He is able to move and mold them in accordance to His will and pleasure. I used to be afraid that He couldn’t keep me in His will. Now I know He can move me anywhere He chooses quite …

Why Love Grows Cold
Why Love Grows Cold In one of my last few posts I looked at the loving of self. This is a vital, crucial requirement of our God. We love others as we love ourself not the other way around. If we fail to love ourselves we won’t be able to love others. And in this time and season of the …

Living Beyond Shame: Naked and Unashamed
Living Beyond Shame: Naked and Unashamed Shame is a relentless presence that often haunts the human experience, casting a long shadow over our lives. But what if we could break free from the suffocating grip of shame and step into a realm where vulnerability is not a source of deep discomfort but a path to divine liberation? I want to …
Overcoming Shame and Embracing Divine Purpose
Overcoming Shame and Embracing Divine Purpose I want to share something that has been on my mind – a challenge I’ve been wrestling with.

Weakness Can Trigger Shame
Weakness Can Trigger Shame In a culture, where weakness is a four letter word, the reality of boasting in our weakness seems profane. Additionally, seeing weakness as beautiful is off putting at best, but more often grotesque to the heart of man. Weakness requires dependence and faith in the character and person of God. The Apostle Paul boasted in his …
Loudest Struggles Not Majority
Loudest Struggles Not Majority In my journey of addressing shame and writing a book on overcoming it, I’ve made some profound discoveries. One of them is that our loudest struggles often appear larger than they actually are. Just because our shame has a LOUD voice, it doesn’t always mean it’s the largest part of who we are. Loud Parts Say …
Connection Journey from Shame
Connection Journey from Shame I wanted to take a moment to share something truly transformative with all of you. I recently had the honor of taking part in an absolutely outstanding training session. It was among the best I’ve ever had, and it brought me to a pivotal understanding. It is impossible to overestimate the significance and power of connection …

Sovereign Everlasting Boundary
Sovereign Everlasting Boundary I, the Lord, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross.

Coaching: Why You Need a Thought Partner
Coaching: Why You Need a Thought Partner I wanted to write about the power of coaching and the profound perspective shift that it brings.

A Living Invitation to His Will Alone I was being coached the other day, and my coach asked me a pregnant question about the subject of my new book, His Will Alone. He asked: What is God’s dream for this book? I was floored and flummoxed by the weight of these words. Part of me wanted to tear up at …

Storyline of Life: The Sovereign Touch
Storyline of Life: The Sovereign Touch Every storyline worth telling is fraught with crisis, challenge, and victory. We watch these scenarios in movies, read them in books, and are captivated by them through the verbal telling. We just love a good story. It’s like it’s ingrained in us to crave them. We celebrate them, and sometimes we even ask for …
Defeating Toxic Shame
Defeating Toxic Shame Toxic shame makes a negative “I am” statement against our self. Statements like, “I am worthless! I am disgusting! I am stupid! I am flawed! I am not enough! I am of no value!” All these shame statements assign, as well as labels us, as unworthy and contemptible. These types of I am statements go counter to …
Convergence Theory
Convergence Theory I was listening the other day to something Lance Wallnau was saying and it hit me deeply as I believe he discussed something very real and true about where the Lord is taking me. The message was about convergence theory. “Convergence theory says that God designed you with certain gifts, talents and abilities, so that you have an …
Giving All I am to the Great I AM
Giving All I am to the Great I AM Like the widow with the two mites I bring my gift to God, giving all I am to the Great I AM. So many of us feel that we have nothing to offer others, much less God. And even those who know they have legit talents to give, sometimes feel incapable …
Connecting with Your Spiritual DNA
Connecting with Your Spiritual DNA I have been discussing our Spiritual DNA on the podcast. So what is our spiritual DNA? We each have been formed and fashioned to uniquely reflect and represent how our Creator created us. Ultimately it is how He wants to express His Life through us, and it is as distinctive as our physical DNA. None …
God is Playing Me Like an Instrument
God is Playing Me Like an Instrument I find that those who love God are pliable and malleable in His hands. He is able to move and mold them in accordance to His will and pleasure. I used to be afraid that He couldn’t keep me in His will. Now I know He can move me anywhere He chooses quite …
Sovereign Everlasting Boundary
Sovereign Everlasting Boundary I, the Lord, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries I set. Jeremiah 5:22 Does this scripture only refer to the coast? Is it isolated to beaches and sandy shores? I think not. I believe this scripture …
This Present Moment
This Present Moment While looking at this blog with the Lord, and reviewing our purpose and direction, I considered our topics. Every day we get to select a single topic to categorize our individual posts. Sometimes this has not been such an easy task. As a reminder, here is the list: Live the Moment – Releasing the past and future, …
Embracing Weakness as Strength
Embracing Weakness as Strength In a world that often tells us to hide our weaknesses and put on a facade of strength, the journey of overcoming shame shines a light on the power of vulnerability. In Episode #855 of the Divine Designed Life Podcast, I explore the profound connection between weakness, shame, and the strength of faith. Through raw, honest …
Weakness Can Trigger Shame
Weakness Can Trigger Shame In a culture, where weakness is a four letter word, the reality of boasting in our weakness seems profane. Additionally, seeing weakness as beautiful is off putting at best, but more often grotesque to the heart of man. Weakness requires dependence and faith in the character and person of God. The Apostle Paul boasted in his …

Minimalism: Naked and Unashamed
Minimalism: Naked and Unashamed Adam and Eve lived naked and unashamed until they needed something beyond God. The day they needed more than God, shame entered in. This is tragic because we in this culture, and even in much of the church, have amassed so much stuff to our own demise. It now owns us. We are hoarding to our …
