This is the last part of Brenda’s story and it is so beautiful. Allowing the Lord to have His way in us, to do any work in us He chooses is a costly path. It requires laying many things, good things, on the altar unto Him – allowing Him to do as He wishes with […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Brenda’s Story Pt 6

It looked like things were going from bad to worse in Brenda’s circumstances, so what was the Lord doing? How could this path of so much suffering and sorrow be accomplishing His work? Yet, His faithfulness was constant and His love was expressed in so many ways. As I listened to this part of Brenda’s […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Brenda’s Story Pt. 5

Have you ever been convinced that if the Lord would just work this one particular thing out everything else would be better, too? Have you ever pleaded and pleaded with him to fix your circumstances the way you want them fixed? Have you experienced the Lord’s delay in responding to your requests? Well, so has […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Brenda’s Story Pt 4

Brenda and her family left Oklahoma to follow the Lord into an organic expression of His life all the way in Florida, and hoped that her struggles and issues would stay behind. Everything is supposed to be wonderful and fixed in “organic church life”, right? Having personally witnessed this part of Brenda’s story, I can […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Brenda’s Story Pt 1

I’m finally sharing with y’all the part of my story that has to do with our three and a half years in an organic expression of the Lord. But, honestly, you might be disappointed. This part of my story has been the hardest for me to tell because how do you describe spiritual things with […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Bridget’s Story Pt. 4

So, we’d left the traditional church system for good. What in the world were we going to do now? Our next season definitely wasn’t what I thought it was going to be, but the lessons I learned during it were absolutely necessary. And now, I would’t trade it for the world. Here’s to the wilderness. […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Bridget’s Story Pt. 3

In last week’s podcast, I ended where we had started asking some questions, but we weren’t really sure we wanted to know the answers, yet. We weren’t sure we wanted to mess up what we had going on, and these questions seemed like the kind of questions whose answers definitely messed things up. But then […]

Tent and Altar Podcast: Bridget’s Story Part 2

In last week’s video, I said I would be posting these on Sundays. Well, that’s still the plan, I just had a very full weekend and wasn’t up for the task last night when we got home. After some prayer and consideration, I decided to use the Tent & Altar podcast as an opportunity to tell […]
