We all have a kingdom. Within it, our authority isn't limited to internal thoughts, emotions, and desires—but includes our external realm where what we say goes. The problem is, chaos often comes against our attempts to order our external reality. That's because while we live in a love story, it is set in a world at war. John, Blaine, and Allen explain what the Chaos Dragon is, why C. S. Lewis believed there is no neutral ...
In episode three of this five-part series, John, Blaine, and Allen talk about additional ways to reorder our internal world. What do our loves and emotions reveal about us? Why do grace and forgiveness change us from the inside out? And how can what upsets us expose our disordered desires—and provide an opportunity for healing?

As this series progresses, John, Blaine, and Allen discuss ways to govern one’s internal reality through the categories of thoughts, emotions, and loves. This episode focuses on our thoughts. How do we align our thought life with Jesus? What are the Circle of Interest and the Circle of Control—and which should we pursue most? And how can we curate the countless inputs vying for our attention?
Each of us has a personal kingdom, or domain, for which we are responsible. Whether it’s our home, apartment, or dorm room, we have a place where what we say happens. What does it look like, in the midst of a chaotic world, to bring order and shalom to our realm? This new five-part series begins with John, Blaine, and Allen talking about why God made us to rule, how we’re meant to grow in this responsibility, and what role...
Just like the physical realm has the law of gravity, there are laws to the spiritual realm. John and Allen offer several practices to enhance your prayer life and explain why they work—including how to triumph through the power of the blood of Christ, break the enemy’s legal claims, proclaim standing orders, and more.

Over 40 percent of the boys in this country don’t have a dad at home. The result has been a dramatic increase in drug use and school drop-out—with some kids averaging up to 70 hours a week in front of a screen yet only 40 minutes outside. Countering that trend is Kids Outdoor Zone (KOZ), an outdoor ministry for boys that trains and equips men to mentor boys through outdoor adventure. In this episode, John talks with KOZ fo...
It’s incredibly orienting to discover that when we say “yes” to Jesus, we are now part of a great campaign—one that’s already in motion—to help overthrow evil, restore the human heart, and fix God’s universe.

As this series concludes, John, Blaine, and Allen reveal practices for staying grounded in the larg...

In this restless world, satisfaction is fleeting. Rather than chasing after success and validation, what if we began pursuing meaning and refuge?
