Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
Eric and I were given the awesome opportunity to teach in the School of Biblical Foundations going on here at YWAM Denver shortly after we got back. We felt honored that though we just arrived on staff we were entrusted with teaching God’s Holy Word. This happens to be one of our favorite things to [...]

Making it our home…
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
We arrived in Arvada, Colorado Saturday morning (Amy) and afternoon (Eric). We were blown away by the amazing people who gave up a chunk of their Saturday afternoon to help us move in all our stuff. Seriously, I think it took less than half an hour. Once all the boxes were moved in the long [...]

Support Raising Frustration
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
If anyone has worked for a non-profit organization, religious or not, you know what its like to raise support. To be honest, it’s not one of my favorite things. I was reminded the other day through a friend the importance of partnering with other people and inviting them along in what God is doing with [...]

Apartment from God
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
We looked hardcore for an apartment in the last two weeks. There was really only one that we could afford and was able to hold it for us until the middle of August. We liked it alright, but also really had no other options. The day before we were going to hand in our application, [...]

Week Ten- Spiritual Authority

This week Dave Gustaveson taught on Spiritual Authority. He began with sharing from the life of Isaiah, he received:
1. Personal revelation from God
2. Personal revelation of his heart

We are uniquely designed in the sense that there are things we can do that no one else in the world can do.
Basically [...]

Week Nine- Strengths Finder
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
This week Chey brought clarity through the book and test Strengths Finder. The concept I got out of this is:
when you disciple someone, do it from their strengths God gave them, not their behavior
This is such a sweet concept because its something Eric and I have specifically felt we were to do before we were [...]

Week Eight- Personal Ministry
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
This week Dean Sherman came to speak to us. I was pretty excited because he’s a standard speaker in many DTS’s and we didn’t have him in Kona.
The truth of what he spoke was amazing this week, short and simple:
Ministry IS a choice to serve from a motivation of love. It is also the Holy [...]

Week Seven- Foundations for Ministry
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
This week the former Phase II leader, Kevin Verrone, spoke to our class on the Foundations for Ministry. He began simply by sharing God’s relationship with his people since the beginning: Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David then went in to the new covenant with Jesus and how we are “grafted in” as God’s [...]

Week Six- David Clark, Worldview
Filed Under Amy, Denver | Leave a Comment
So I’ve already missed my goal of blogging every day and I actually messed up on the week numbers. No one said anything so maybe no one is even reading this. Our first week of the school was “bonding week” where we played get-to-know-you games. Week two was our first week of teaching… so when [...]

Despite the fact that I have no idea what this week’s topic was, it was great! Dave talked a lot about seeking the presence of God, simple because of who God is, not because of what he wants you to do. We serve a God of relationship and he wants us to sit at his [...]
