Stop Chasing People. Be A Lighthouse.

In this blog, Pastor Darren Stott reframes evangelism through a powerful metaphor: Christians are not called to chase people like rescuers in boats, but to shine like lighthouses in a storm.

Understanding Soul Spirit Hurts & Demonic Oppression

We are the most trauma-aware generation in history — and somehow the most spiritually tormented.

We have language for everything now. Trauma, triggers, attachment wounds, emotional dysregulation, nervous system dysrhythmia, trauma-bonding, shadow work. We’ve created an emotional dictionary that would impress Freud and bewilder Moses.

The Church is not well.
