Michael and Terri Sullivant are respected leaders from Kansas City. They have prophetic giftings - both in the gift of prophecy over others, and in the area of teaching about Biblical handling of prophetic gifts. In 2011 they gave a workshop at Hope Chapel in Austin, Texas. They spoke together on the topic of God's ability to rewrite the narrative of our lives. This seems an appropriate teaching to revisit, since Amy just finished the Runaway Bay manuscript that “rewrites the narrative of her life” (and her Dad's). Teaching given on Austin 28, 2011.

Jeff McCullough took a trip to Utah in 2020, and it changed his life. No, the evangelical pastor didn't convert to the state's predominant religion, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and he didn't launch a virulent campaign to explore what some have seen as Mormonism's heresies. Instead, he felt a divine call to launch a YouTube channel, titled Hello Saints, to, as he put it, “fight criticism with curiosity.” “Most of my Christian friends didn't say very nice things about the people from the LDS Church,” McCullough says in his introduction, “and I don't really like that.” So the 43-year-old Hope Chapel minister from the Bible Belt, who calls himself a “recovering Mormon basher,” set about exploring the beliefs and practices of the Utah-based faith, eager to build bridges between that church and evangelical Christians. McCullough now lives in the Beehive State and has produced more than 90 short videos comparing and contrasting “the lifestyle, culture and beliefs of Mormons and mainstream Christianity,” including questions like these: Are Mormons Christians? What do Christians and Latter-day Saints agree and disagree about? On his journey to familiarize himself and his audience with this unfamiliar faith, he has viewed General Conference, attended Sunday services, read the Book of Mormon and toured a Latter-day Saint temple. His Hello Saints channel, which operates as a nonprofit, has 60,000 subscribers and nearly 7 million views. He is currently hosting a virtual summit with interviews and presentations by Latter-day Saints and evangelicals on topics ranging from Jesus and marriage to politics and heaven. On this week's show, McCullough discusses his online efforts, his approach and what he hopes to accomplish.

Alex and I had a great time reviewing the Jesus Revolution and the part Hope Chapel played in it.It was what historians call a spiritual awakening. I only realized that as it ended. Until then my peer group mostly thought we were smarter than those who had preceded us.It couldn't be called just a revival as it wasn't about reviving a dying church but effected a transformation in the outside culture. One of the early earmarks of the movement was the presence of miracles. Mostly we saw people delivered from the grip of hard drugs without counseling or treatment. But there were healings, events involving protection from fires and extreme weather, and of course healings.The Jesus Revolution movie is worth watching as it catches much of what the Spirit was doing. However, it would need to be a prolonged series to fully depict those exciting times.After others view the film I get asked, "Did those things really happen?" The answer is that those things did happen but in a larger sense than could be depicted on film. The baptisms were bigger. The miracles were everyday events. Chuck Smith was a great Bible teacher going into it and Lonnie Frisbee was no rebel but had a supernatural anointing that caused some leaders discomfort.I hope the talk Alex initiated will strengthen you in your own hunger for more from God.For more from Alex check his website at dandelionresourcing.com.

This is part four of a four-part podcast with deep interest to me. My friend John Honold and I interviewed Kenneth Makuakane, a third-generation Hope Chapel Kaneohe Bay pastor. He's an award-winning Waikiki entertainer concurrently leading the largest Hawaiian congregation in the state. The original missionaries planted the church. As the story unfolds, I discipled John Honold, who multiplied several churches and leads a string of micro churches today. John now coaches Ken, whom he discipled decades ago. And Ken is plowing ground that lay fallow until his arrival. The church is growing, and elderly people often engage with street kids. Most ethnic Hawaiians, whether they go to church or not, call Kawaiaha'o Church their home. This is significant as it links the first spiritual awakening in the Kingdom of Hawaii to the most recent in the State of Hawaii. The congregation is steeped in tradition as it became the church home to the kings and queens of ancient Hawaii. Beginning with the original New England-born missionaries in the early 1700s, Hawaii experienced four church-planting movements. In terms of per capita penetration, it remains the most successful awakening in human history. The second planted churches among Japanese Americans. Thousands of Japanese immigrated to Hawaii to work in sugar plantations, and many came to Christ. Takie Okamura, the innovator God used to drive that awakening planted what we would call microchurches in the sugar cane camps. He ran a Japanese-language newspaper and invented language schools for evangelism. He also planted Makiki Christian Church which prevails today. From the 1940s to the early 1980s or late 1970s, church multiplication centered on Olivet Baptist Church, which launched more than 40 congregations. My friends and I showed up in 1983, thirty of us including children. We planted and multiplied 69 churches in the Hope Chapel arena in about 27 years. Shortly after our arrival Wayne Cordeiro launched the New Hope movement, which is responsible for another 69 congregations during those same years. Theirs are often larger than ours, but we were privileged to send a little more than 100 people to help launch New Hope Oahu, including their long-serving first worship band. The greater excitement of the fourth awakening comes via hundreds of small churches planted after the example of the larger networks. These are mostly independent congregations. At one point, every public school in the state (650+) hosted at least one or more congregations. None started from the more noticeable movements. This podcast is significant because Ken's role links the original spiritual awakening with the most recent. I hope it blesses you as it has me. And I hope you'll join us for all four installments of this podcast. If you need more information, you can learn about the church at https://kawaiahaochurch.com or connect with Ken via email.

This podcast is personal in a very real way. John Honold has been a close friend for just under four decades.I met him as a cocky, even arrogant, 20-year-old who informed me, “I hope you don't mind, but I knock off your sermons each Thursday under a tree at Windward Community College.”He was reteaching my Sunday messages in a microchurch he'd started on campus. I responded, “Keep it up, and you'll become our college pastor.” He did. And he married Brenda Ching, one of the original 30 people to move from California to plant the church.After serving as College Pastor, Youth Pastor and our Exec for over a decade, we launched him to plant a Hope Chapel in Oahu's “Second City,” Kapolei. It was a tossup as to which of us should plant the new church—me with a built-in audience from our daily radio broadcasts or John, who might reach a younger audience. He won the coin toss, and soon 700+ people met in various borrowed spaces. They multiplied new congregations from that base in Hawaii, Okinawa, Thailand and The Philippines.This episode is about church multiplication, an enduring friendship and how to follow the Holy Spirit in a way that parallels building sidewalks where people trample the grass on a college campus.Today John leads a prevailing model church (which both shrunk and grew after COVID) that operates as a hub for twelve microchurches—and he's paid a full-time salary to boot. Journey Church Network Hawaii has cracked the code for mixing what worked in the past with the future many envision.Did I mention that they support ministries in Okinawa, Mainland Japan and across the African Continent? John is also consulting with the oldest, and perhaps most famous, church that started in the “Kingdom of Hawaii.” They're bringing back the fire of the original vision to cover the islands with the gospel.If you're trying to understand the implications of microchurch on the congregation you lead, this will aid your quest. Besides, it gives good insight into the values that drive this podcast and have driven me for a long time.
