This story happened a few months ago while we were on an YWAM Awaken DTS outreach in Barcelona. The reason I am telling it is to document the reality of God and His faithfulness.
This week, I had a major mind shift on what was accomplished on the death and resurrection of Christ. This week I read and studied Romans, which is a huge systematic laying out of going from a sinner to believer. It was mostly written
Of any of life’s journeys, I think this journey from the mind to the heart is the most important. So far in our School
As I finish up staffing this DTS, I can’t help but reflect on these past crazy fast-paced 6 months. If I tried to unpack my experiences and things I learned, this blog would be a book! I figured I’d let you in on my top 7 revelations/things learned.
“Be holy as I am holy.” – God (in Leviticus 19:1, 1 Peter 1:15-16)
Holiness is an interesting trait. I figured if God tells me to be this way, I should make sure I know what it means on a deep level. Any word should be examined if they are saying it day an night (x3) in Heaven:

We started our Mystery Fun Night with a movie that I watched in my DTS, Finger of God. Its meant to build faith in a God that heals, does miraculous signs and wonders and is moving around the world. The whole time during the
The AWAKEN DTS has begun! After all the preparation, prayer, thought, discussion, and meetings, the students and first speaker (Philip York) are here. Now begins a new phase, a transition from preparation to application. 59 students from over 12 countries have come to learn more about God. Its quite a task and quite a privilege that God has put us in this position. I can get quickly overwhelmed thinking about it beyond a day!
We are made to create. Think about it. The first sentence of the Bible has God creating and He has never stopped! It’s amazing that God chooses us to partner with him and create and in fact blesses us saying “Be fruitful and increase in number” (Gen 1:28). Also, God created all the earth and everything in it and he gave Adam the fun task of naming the animals. He loves when we partner
