My Primary #Reimagine Passion

#ReimaginePRAYER


This Scripture Drives/Directs My #Reimagine Journey

Stop imitating the ideals [and being confined to the traditions of your Church] culture

but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.

This will empower you to discern God’s will as you [pray and] live a beautiful life,

satisfying and perfect in his eyes. Romans 12:2 The Passion Translation and [my paraphrasing]


Your First-Step-Suggestion to Us on How to Begin a Journey to Reimagine Disciple-Making? [ Tweet-Sized (280 characters) ]

A.S.K.

  • ASK the Holy Spirit to lead you onto a journey of discovery
  • SEEK discernment from Scripture, Supplication, Scribing (journaling)
  • KNOW then KNOCK: When you have discernment and direction, pray boldly and lead faithfully.
  • Goal: Spirit-led; Scripture-fed; Worship-bred.

Deconstructing or Reconstructing?

Confessions of a Deconstruction-Minded Christian   Phil Miglioratti   "Deconstructing." Sounds like a painful process. And, it is, whether it applies to demolishing a building or taking apart a system of belief “in order to expose biases, flaws or inconsistencies,” which is precisely what is taking place all across the evangelical spectrum. Sadly, many church members who have become disillusioned with their evangelical church experience or disappointed by an evangelical leader are simply…

We See Through a Glass Darkly Phil Miglioratti    ItSeemsToMe… the Apostle Paul has made it perfectly clear we should not consider our translations-interpretations-applications of Scripture as perfectly clear.

The #Remaking of Theological Education

The Remaking of Theological Education Guest-Post by Ed Stetzer {with thanks to Church Leaders}   April 8, 2025   The news of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School’s plan to leave Chicagoland and to merge with Trinity Western University in Canada marks a watershed moment in theological education. It would be difficult to overstate the significance of this move, for many TEDS has been a symbol of evangelical identity and theology for generations.  At its core, this shift reflects the reality that…

    Thanks for welcoming me to the Forum.  I had thought I was already a member through the Prayer Leaders Network, but the sign in process wouldn’t allow me to sign in using my passwords from that site, so I created another account.  
    I had wanted to commend the article that I received from y’all by email about dealing with 4 realities that make it difficult for Intercessors/prayer ministry leaders and pastors/church leadership to build a praying culture in the church.  I thought it was very insightful and a helpful perspective.  Thank you for the article.

    Hi Phil.

    As a new member, I received 2 emails from you.

    The first, informing me that my membership had been approved, contained 4 links all containing significant errors. None of the links worked, but I was able to deduce what the errors were so correct them for access.  Not a good start!  You should examine the links in the email that was sent two me to ensure this doesn't happen to other new members.

    Links in the second email regarding my profile appear to be OK.

 How God Shaped the Early Ekklēsia

Years ago, I visited a church in South Asia. It quickly became evident that the rectangular building where we met—complete with a cross above the entrance, rows of red plastic chairs facing a handcrafted wooden pulpit, a drum set, loudspeakers, microphones and stands, as well as a soundboard—bore a striking…
