I am personally inviting you to join hundreds of global influencers, thought leaders, creators, and provocateurs in Dallas, Texas this November 8-10. Against the tide of unholy arrogance, abuse, fatherlessness, and the persecution of righteousness, strong men are converging from the US, Brazil, Bulgaria, Ulaanbataar and beyond. 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?

There’s a great story about brotherhood in the life of Jesus. One of his best friends, Lazarus, was at home in Bethany, sick and about to die. Lazarus’s sisters sent word to a nearby town for Jesus to come heal him, “and hurry!” John, who wrote the story, never says that Lazarus was worried. It seems he trusted his friend. But those around Lazarus didn’t share his faith—they were freaking. Jesus and Lazarus had been friends for some time, but now it seemed their friendship was being tested.
