I was also blessed today by the illustrious Pentecostal Full Gospel theologian (and my Bloomsbury book series editor!) Dr Wolfgang Vondey!

Pleasantly delighted to see my fellow Elites at the AG M33 church planting workshop today at Emmanuel AG!I was really inspired by this opening Word from one of the facilitators:“My vision for you today:I pray you have interrupted sleep. . . .

Holy discontent desperation Is fundamentally requisite For receiving life-changing God-encounters   In the night that wounds us Before God, blessing us With prevailing faith.   For a present-day challenge to life-changing “burning bush” God-encounters is—satiation; the life of comfort that diminishes discontent, and hence desperation before God for anything beyond the fullness we already…

Beyond beautiful symbols Our generation’s “faith formation” requires— Over-whelming God-encounters. With growing evocativeness, I’m reading Gary Tyra’s new book, Sacramental Sermons: Prophetic, Incarnational, and Truly Transformative Preaching (Cascade Books, 2026).

“Slow Burn Revival” “Sometimes, God’s fire is the charcoal that stays lit over the long haul.” The one thing I value most from reading Joseph Lear’s new 2025 book, Resurrecting Worship: A Pentecostal Liturgy for Slow Burn Revival, is his closing reflections on the revival that burns even in just a few—smouldering charcoal embers. The second thing I got is his reference to the Greek word for…
