Luke 2:52And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man This is a prayer I speak over my children every night. That they would grow in wisdom, stature, and in favour with God and man. Jesus had to grow in these things – and so do we. Wisdom Imparting wisdom to our children is one of the main assignments as Kingdom parents. What is wisdom? Wisdom is the application of God’s Word to daily life.…

Something Donna Parachin taught me early in ministry was to do everything I can to prepare for what lies ahead, but in the moment if the Lord leads you elsewhere, then simply flow with Him. To do otherwise, would be to try to swim against the current, or push back the waves. Yesterday, I saw this in action in the entire Sunday Celebration and in the testimonies that were shared throughout: Noah & Florence shared that they felt the Lord…

Here at Lifespring we are so blessed to be able to hear and listen from so many. People and families putting their ears to the Lord and leaning into Him. This Sunday we had a word from a new elder, Rodney Lau. Rodney alongside his wife Ada and children Zoey, Rylie, and Evynne have served faithfully at Lifespring for many years. We thank God for them. As Rodney was speaking on Sunday, there were so many gems that could be…

It was such a wonderful privilege to hear from the Chair of the Board of Directors, Leona Lee. Leona has faithfully served for many years. Her family is a blessing to this house – with all of their gifts, talents, and skills… yet the greatest blessing they bring is their humility. They carry a God-given transparency and willingness to grow in the Lord – thank you Lee family – Lifespring is better for having your family amongst us. As Leona…

As God continues to reveal who we are as Lifespring – the reminder and underlying current is always a Kingdom Family: Genuine Love for God, Genuine Care for Others. We may not know what that looks like exactly, but I do find that God reveals a little bit at a time – teaching us to truly be a Kingdom Family that represents Him. As I was doing my devotions in Genesis, I found a part of Scripture that really jumped…

What an amazing Family Weekend we had with guest speaker and now friend, Brett Ullman. A gifted teacher, he brought about thought provoking, practical, and wise ideas and techniques. I love that we as a church family get to have his teaching. We have had much training in spiritual inner healing, but rarely have we had speakers challenge us in our day to day lives on how to experience freedom in the physical as well. Spiritual inner healing is necessary…

I am a firm believer that in life and in work and in all that we do, it demands excellence. I preach it to my staff on the pastoral team, I teach this to my staff at BeaverTails. I tell the pastoral team that if we do not do devotions, pray for our people, do our memory verses – what chance do the people we are meant to Shephard have? I tell my BeaverTails staff that before you serve our…

We were so blessed to have Carl & Rosy with us this past Sunday. Faithful and amazing warriors for the King – they have served, continue to serve, and plan to keep on serving Him. An example to us and a blessing to this world. As Carl was speaking yesterday, I felt the Lord highlight the following: Hebrews 12:6, 10-11 the Lord disciplines the one he loves…God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.…

When we talk about Kingdom Parenting we are trying to raise the huios (mature sons). Fully complete, lacking nothing. When we look at the ultimate mature son, Jesus Christ – we see a man who was raised and became a huios. He was one who did not just hear and ignore – He listened and obeyed. Kingdom Parenting is not just about one’s biological children, it is the people you influence and care for. I shared a testimony a couple…

There are so many people to be thankful for at Lifespring. As a Kingdom Family, pretty much everyone serves in one way or another. Some will be part of a particular ministry, some will simply serve doing things in the background, with no recognition and no assignment. No matter which way you serve in this family – thank you so very much. As we serve the Lord as a Kingdom Family, I am reminded that we must always remember that…

Another great privilege to hear from one of our own. Mae-Tuin Seto, who has served and been a blessing to the Lifespring family since the dawn of time, continues to serve as the Secretary on the Board of Directors, a Kidz Harbour Shepherd, and overall mom in the house. I titled this devotion, “#BlameDave”, not because it has anything to do with what I learned, but rather because it was funny. As Mae-Tuin was sharing and teaching us of strong…

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”1 John 3:16-18 I shared how God…
