  • BooksThis is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my blog. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.) …or something like this: The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickies to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community. As a new WordPress user, you should go to your dashboard to delete this page and create new pages for your content. Have fun!
  • WorkshopsFebruary 27 – March 30, 2012     Are you searching for something deeper in your prayer life? This course is about the spiritual practice of discussing everything with God, risking honesty to gain intimacy through loving, trusting conversations.  It’s wrestling through anger, faith, pain, hope about every aspect of our lives.  No topic, language, or feeling is unholy.  It will cover how to know you’re hearing from God and explores a variety of ways to pray. This course is an opportunity to discover for yourself the redemptive freedom that comes from being totally honest with yourself and the One who loves you best.  As you practice stepping out of your comfort zone, you will begin to experience confidence in speaking freely with God in ways that are uniquely yours.  Prior to starting the workshop, participants need to order this book from Amazon.com   http://www.amazon.com/Uncensored-Prayer-Spiritual-Practice-Wrestling/dp/0615480810/.  The five-week online class is self-paced so you can participate at any time during the week.  It includes readings in the texbook, prayer practice exercises, and online interactions with other students.  Class size is limited, so if you are interested, I encourage you to sign up today.  The cost is just $69.  To register, click here:  http://beadisciple.com/workshops.html#UncensoredPrayer.

Led Into the Wilderness to…Live, Part 3

Led Into the Wilderness to…Live, Part 3

God showed up and said it was time we had a talk.  Here is our conversation: 

Treasures in the Dark 

The darkness is thin on good days,

I didn’t mean to stray,
but wandered off alone,
