Are You Functioning at the Place of Convergence?

Editor’s Note: Crystal recently discussed this topic with David G. Johnson on a webinar as a “sneak peek” of what’s to come at the Nourish The Dream event in Tampa March 30th & 31st. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can catch it here.
There is an internal mechanism within each of us that operates [...]

Power to Be Offensive

Recently, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to why more believers aren’t successful financially and in business. Since I work every day with business owners on growing their businesses, I’m constantly confronted with this subject.

The Government Upon His Shoulders

This time of year, we frequently quote the prophecy concerning the birth of Our Lord which was immortalized in song by George Frideric Handel in The Messiah.  The passage, lifted from the first few verses of Isaiah Chapter 9, reads:

The Importance of Financial Increase

Have you ever noticed that pursuing your dreams takes money?
We’ve talked previously in this setting about the notion that God is ultimately the giver of dreams (Psalm 37:4) and how that I believe that when we’re talking about these dreams that are rooted in the deepest places of our hearts, God gives them to us. [...]
