These are some of our best posts and ones we think you will absolutely love!

We really hope you can read all these at your own pace and find yourself more released into the apostolic, prophetic and evangelistic.

Are Apostles For Today?

The term apostle can provoke all kinds of reactions. What exactly does this word mean? Are there really present day apostles? If so, what do they do? And why does it matter? These are all really important questions. This series is written by Tim Catchim, who co-authored “The Permanent Revolution” a seminal work on the apostolic vocation with Alan Hirsch.

This is a great series featuring most of our writers and their back stories. Each posts details how the writer first came to find out he/she was an A.P.E. gifted person and how God has been shaping that in them. This is a great personal zoom in on each person to get a feel for their style.

Multi-Ethnicity And The Missional Church

If we are going to reach every person with the gospel then we need to care about every culture and ethnicity. That means we have to cross into every culture and we need to deploy people of every culture. Unfortunately even some of the most missional churches are not very multi-ethnic. This series helps us think about engaging this issue much deeper.

Spiritual Formation For APE’s

Without being rooted in God’s love, those with apostolic, prophetic, or evangelistic gifts run the risk of being just another hyperactive, over-confident, extrovert. And those of us with pastoral gifts run a similar risk of being just another hypersensitive, over-cautious, introvert. This series will seek to address what happens within our souls as we seek to follow Jesus in mission.
