In 2012, the Lord put business in Karyne’s and my heart. I was about to complete my Master of Theological Studies and begin a career path as a pastor. But the Lord started putting business on our hearts! I was so confused. How could the Lord call me to ministry and call me to start a business? It didn’t make sense. But as we sought the Lord, as we sought council, and as we wrestled with these ideas, one thing…

This week I have come face to face with the realities of how fragile a family can be and how quickly everything can be taken away. In a circumstance where a family has gone through infidelity (no, you don’t know them), everything that was so good fell apart in an instance. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.” – Genesis 1:28 God’s assignment to man was to be…

The Lord has been wrestling with my understanding of patient endurance. I naturally understood progression to be an increase in patience and an ability to have greater endurance. This seemed to be the most logical progression in growing in patient endurance. But as I was spending time with the Lord, I felt the Lord highlight that though physical outcomes are great – He is really after our hearts. As I continued to press into what He was saying, I felt…

This past Sunday, Andrew led us in creating the Winter Care Packages. He had so many gems, so please take a moment to listen to it here. As I listened to Andrew speak on seeds, watering, and God causing it to grow, I was reminded of a video I watched this week: The monkey ladder experiment. It is quite a silly video, but it hammers in a point. It shows how the actions and teachings of the 1st few (seed planters) can…

It is October 2024. At the beginning of the year, we felt the Lord guide the Lifespring Family towards Patient Endurance. Just over 10 months in, am I more patient? Can I endure more? I don’t know. I still feel weak, I still feel broken at times, and I still ask, “have I/we made any progress?” Yet, in God’s goodness, I felt God say, “that is exactly where I want you to be.” One of the challenges the Lord has been putting…

It was such a joy to have our elder, Joe Chong, speak to the Lifespring family. Joe has been and continues to be one of the greatest leaders I have ever served under. A man who doesn’t just tell you to seek the Lord but shows you how. Thank you, Joe, for loving God and loving this family. We are so blessed to have you as an elder of this church. As Joe was speaking, one of the many gems…

It seems like so long ago, but it was only 2 months since our Family Weekend. The many seeds planted over that weekend continue to germinate and challenge me to this day. As I got to know our speaker and connect with him, I felt a great love and care for him. He was a man that truly loves Jesus and genuinely cares for others. I listened to his teaching and testimonies and watched him interact and connect with the…

What an amazing spirit-filled weekend. We had Gma Donna speak to us through training on Saturday and for our Sunday Celebration. If you were not able to make it, please try to see the recordings: Donna Parachin, Spiritual Realms (part 1) – September 21, 2024 Donna Parachin, Spiritual Realms (part 2) – September 21, 2024 TLCF Sunday – September 22, 2024 – Donna Parachin As Donna was speaking, the Lord was highlighting a word that I felt was important for…

Praise does not put us back into God’s presence, it brings God’s presence to us. Praise is a magnet to the presence of God. Where there is praise, there you will find His presence. There were days in my walk with the Lord where I realized that the presence of God was powerful! I knew that when I was in the presence of the Lord my worries seemed smaller, my addictions seemed to disappear, my anxieties were no more. The…

I had the privilege of listening to Andrew’s message this week and I am convinced that God is doing something in our church family’s heart and assignment. Andrew shared how Proximity Changes Everything. He shared how he could see the changes in Wildfire and he shared how over the years, proximity changed him. Listening to Andrew brought tears to my eyes because I could fully relate to how people have so greatly impacted my own personal life. I have had…

During the Family Weekend, our speaker shared from John 4, where Jesus speaks to a Samaritan woman. She was a woman that Jesus, in all cultural and societal norms, should not have been speaking with or associating with. When Jesus asks the woman to get him water, he was not treating her as a slave. In fact, by putting himself in a position of need of her, Jesus was lowering himself and elevating this woman, giving her a place of…

We had another great privilege to hear from Samantha Tse, one of our Board of Directors and Deacon of Hope. Samantha has been part of the LifeSpring family for as long as I can remember and is truly a daughter and now a mother of the house. Thank you, Samantha, for your vulnerability. The presence of God was there, and I could sense a deep work that God was doing in you. As Samantha was speaking, I felt the Lord…
