Soul Dreamer Resource – Courage & Calling: Embracing Your God-Given Potential
God has called you – first to Himself, to know and follow Him,
but also to a specific life purpose, a particular reason for being. This second call, often termed a vocation, has implications for our work or occupation, but its ramifications reach far wider. It includes our giftedness, our weakness, our life in community, what we do day to day…
– From the description of the book “Courage & Calling: Embracing Your God-Given Potential” by Gordon T. Smith

Lecrae on Stretching Creatively and Unashamed 2010
In the video below Lecrae did an interview with Rapzilla.com some weeks back before the release of his album Rehab. In it he talks about pushing the creative envelope to produce music that both glorifies God in Biblically-sound content and in artistic excellence and quality…
It is humbling to know that we each could be a few circumstances away from living eachother’s reality…
Above: Two girls from the village of Bahaya, one of the poorest areas that we were in, and where my mother and sister were born.
In July I journeyed to Haiti for the first time and was able to visit and meet family there, as well as do missions in various cities (Port Au Prince, Forte Liberte, Cap Haitien and some others). The trip was bittersweet with joyful moments laughing and talking with aunts, uncles and loads of cousins (many loads), but also being reminded of the shaking of the earth a few months before in the faces of those who survived, and how so many were lost on the ground we walked on…

Lord use me, take me where you want me to go.

Message Pick: Nick Vujicic – “God Will Pull You Through”
“If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!” – Nick Vujicic
Born without arms or legs, Nick Vujicic faced an overwhelming battle as a youth to come to terms with the way he was made and to realize that God had a purpose for him. Through his ministry Life Without Limbs Nick has become a worldwide speaker, author and preacher of the Gospel. Now in his late twenties, Nick continues to reach out to people of all ages and backgrounds to let them know that they too can overcome the barriers and hardships in life through the grace of God. Nick is truly an amazing man of faith and a reflection of a life of victory, even without limbs.

About the Revolve Tour
Since 1996, more than 4 million women have packed themselves and their friends into sold-out arenas across North America for 2-day events that are inspiring, encouraging, and fun. Every year, they come back for another weekend with Women of Faith—and for many of those years, they said (in pretty much these exact words), “This is awesome! But what about something for my daughter?”
In 2005, Women of Faith created The Revolve Tour as a response to those requests. The result is a one-of-a-kind inspirational weekend for 6th– to 12th–grade girls that combines award-winning bands and speakers with real, relevant messages in a high-energy event.

Fabulous Life of a Teenager – From the Rebelution
“…Recognize the myth of adolescence…God has a bigger plan, a bigger calling, He’s given me greater potential than that…” – Alex Harris
Fabulous Life of a Teenager is a great series of videos created by brothers Alex and Brett Harris, founders of The Rebelution: “a teenage rebellion against the low expectations of an ungodly culture.” (Click here to read a previous post about the brothers and The Rebelution).
The videos, made in collaboration with Lifechurch.tv are a continuation of their ministry and movement to challenge young people to use their youth for God, doing things that are challenging and purpose-full. Check out the videos below and their site & blog at TheRebelution.com. For youth leaders, click here to download accompanying materials for the series.
According to popular belief, being a teenager is a fabulous life.
Wild parties, flashy clothes, shiny gear—the whole decade is basically a vacation from responsibility. But God has something more in mind. Our youth is a launch pad into His mission for our life. When we reset our expectations for our time as teenagers, we will accomplish things for God that are far more fabulous than we could imagine…

My Testimony – He Touched Me & Made Me Whole
Despite of the pain God has renewed me and I want to share my journey with others so that they know there is hope beyond the hurt…
It is amazing how God has taken me from being moss under a rock to being planted as a blooming flower in His fertile ground. Our teen years can be really difficult at times when we’re going through changes, pressures and frustrations, and mine were no different. Despite of the pain God has renewed me and I want to share my journey with others so that they know there is hope beyond the hurt…
