EpicYear.com has is evolving into ApostlesHeart.org. The Lord has been helping me envision His call on my life. 2008 was an ‘epic’ year; the Lord has since helped me to see that ‘epic’ is referring to the nature of my ministry, and to the atmosphere of our future Epic Meetings ( http://epicmeetings.com ).
I do not claim to be a modern-day ‘Apostle’. I do proclaim to do whatever it takes to see believers embrace their callings and to see them avail themselves to the Spirit’s gifting. My vision is to help activate the ‘functional’ body of Christ through unity, and open and equal participation of believers through their callings and spiritual gifts. As the Body ‘functionally’ gathers, the glorious image of Jesus will be displayed in power, and will be a sign to unbelievers ( spiritual-attractional ).
East Texas, prepare yourselves for a mighty revival!
I am currently on a charismatic-theology journey. I found this great quote by Richard Gregory:
“Biblical balance is the key with respect to the work of the Spirit in the life of the church and in the hearts of individual believers.”
After listening to Focus on the Family this morning, I was moved by the sermon by [...]
100 mph hwy80
Dude! Hwy80 last Thur night rocked! Mike Staton’s testimony led up to 5 first time salvations! The Spirit was heavy! Preceding Mike’s passionate personal appeal, we had a shocking prayer. The prayer wasn’t shocking because of words, but because of reaction. I had stood mid-aisle within the meeting and [...]
What is your ‘haggard’?
After watching Ted Haggard’s interview on Oprah, I became concerned with my own hidden sins. I think a hidden sin should be called a ‘haggard’. Ted was outed by God; God allowed him to be kicked out his his church and state. What is your haggard? You better get [...]
2009 Dreams & Crack-Coal
I am a Dreamer. Thanks to my lop-sided right brain & my ADD, I have a idea/imagination factory that runs like it’s fuel is made of crack-coal. I’ve also learned that I occupy my dreams; I tend to analyze, investigate, brainstorm, and overwork my ideas. The Lord has been [...]
I am Foursquare
Foursquare? No, that has nothing to do with super-nerds. It’s where I was born: born again. Foursquare is the third largest ‘Pentecostal’ denomination in the world. ‘Foursquare’ means ‘firm’, ’steady’, and ’solid’; it also refers to the four foundational beliefs of the Foursquare church’s mission: Jesus the savior, healer, baptizer in the Holy [...]
Peter Rollins
I truly enjoy this writer. Some people see him as heretical or a theological loose cannon. I think his spiritual gift is ‘to challenge’. Whenever I read his blog, I’m always theologically challenged. This guy is not for everyone, but he is a good catalyst. Check out this interesting video, “SUSPENDED SPACE”.

When we give to benevolent causes, are we giving to anonymous poor, or those we may know? I understand that we are to be ‘global’ in our ministries, but what about the poor that we know? Imagine the evangelistic impact of personally helping someone that you know, rather than adding money to a large [...]

Please, just say NO to sexual sin…it will Haggard you.
What is this Epic Year? Well, first:
