Do you want access to our training material we are using on campus and in churches? Have you wondered how you are going to personally release the APE in your context?
We have created a library with different training material (seminars, handouts, videos, etc) to help you do just that very thing!

Of all the gifts in the body of Christ, prophets above all appear to function just fine on their own. The Bible is full of examples of independent prophets who were sent alone with a message or a task from God. They challenged leaders. They rebuked nations and societies. They stood alone in the gap between God and his people. Maybe this is why so many of the prophets of scripture responded to their initial prophetic calling by basically screaming, “NOOOOOOOO!”
We want to make our blog better and more relevant to your needs and interests. To do that, I need to know more about YOU. As a result, we have created a 2014 Reader Survey.
By filling out this survey you will ultimately be helping you as a reader of this blog! Why? Because your answers are going to help shape the content that we post going forward.

Something interesting is happening in my neighborhood – a new wall is going up.
A high school teacher that was arrested three months ago owns the house on the right. He was pulled from his house in hand cuffs – I watched it all happen. Bad stuff went down that day. Furthermore, he throws loud parties into the night and to say the least some really fishy stuff is happening over there. It’s also not the first run in with the law he has had.
As you can see our site has been redesigned! Eric Holmer did it for us and I’m really happy about it!

When I was speaking at an Intervarsity event this week, one of the student leaders expressed some doubt that prophets after the coming of Christ are called to include a social justice element in their message. That is not an uncommon stance in many of our churches.
Book Launch in 65 Days!I am really close to wrapping up my long-awaited book “Beyond Awkward”. I will be releasing it September 19th! But before I do, I have to ask you a couple of questions. Can you help me out?
I would love to know what you as APE’s are thinking about evangelism and would love to have some of your collaboration in this!
You can answer the questions here (and get a little more detail on the book) at this link:

Since we’re in the final four of World Cup I thought I’d share a story.
Did you know that on penalty kicks the shooter has a 7% greater chance of making a goal if they shoot right up the middle than anywhere else?
The goalie will jump left 51% of the time and right 41%.
But only 17% of shooters kick it up the middle. Why?
“People are going to judge you by your weakest areas, not your strongest.”
I was having a great conversation with my father in law and brother in law yesterday and this is one golden nugget was shared with me by my father in law. He just retired as the President of AT& T in the South East and he has led thousands of people.
He went on to inform me that once you start to rise in leadership, people are going to judge you by what you are weak in.
NIcole Voelkel wrote us a great post on Monday detailing a wonderful healing story and how she goes about partnering with Jesus in evangelism and miraculous breakthrough. Read the post here. Now she is going to lay out for us 7 tips in praying for healing. Enjoy!
