Today is Dustan’s birthday. Here are some of his thoughts concerning another year of life completed.

Do you know that God wants to completely restore you on the inside? He wants to restore every broken part of your soul. The past may have wounded your heart, but the Good Shepherd can and wants to make you completely whole. He can make you stronger than you’ve ever been before.

To find your abundant and Revolutionary Life you must fully surrender to Christ Jesus.

How does a person go from struggling to overcome a sin to become its spokesperson? It’s easier than you think…

So, the other day as I got up and prepared to go to the bus station, I was suddenly rocked by a pain in my back that dropped me to my knees. It felt a bit like a knife being wiggled around inside of me. A few hours and vomits later I went to the [...]

Just like every other mission journey, it seems the first two weeks are a whirlwind. Since we arrived in the UK we have been busy (we even shot what may become two different episodes), but our main focus is getting ready for the road ahead. We learned this early on: the most important thing when traveling for the [...]

We are here researching and praying about a future mission training base/church.   Since we arrived we have fallen in love with this city and it’s people. We often try to strike up conversation with strangers, as this is a great way to make friends. Around [...]

No one can honestly argue that throughout the Bible, Old Testament and New, the generous person is praised. Words like wealth and riches and honor are often associated with the godly righteous soul, and a part of almost every blessing is wealth of some sort. To have enough for you, your family, and enough to take care of [...]

As we’ve traveled we’ve seen so many of the wonderful spots in the world. Man has indeed the spark of God in their heart, the ability to imagine and create things that take the breath away. Yet, it’s the sites beyond our reach that carry me into the deepest awe. There’s something wonderful about standing [...]

In my life I’ve come to realize that there are four simple things I need every single day. It doesn’t matter if we are on the road preaching in some Jungle, at home behind a computer, or preaching at a conference, I still find myself hitting my knees and almost begging for these four things [...]
