The Wayback Machine: March
Some things just get better with age. “The Wayback Machine” posts occur at the end of every month and reference the best posts of that month in years past. My hope is to provide a good jumping on point for readers who have never been to Pursuing Glory.

Todd Bentley leading a major healing revival in Lakeland, Florida, falling during its height, and then being restored is probably one of the notable events in the charismatic world over the last decade. I had written about the Lakeland Outpouring previously, and this follow up post looked the restoration process Rick Joyner was taking Todd Bentley through.

What I’ve Learned About Blogging While I Was Gone
March of 2008 marked a return to not just blogging but to the internet as a whole for me. Previous to this post, I had made some mistakes with some posts I had written on this blog, had my only computer crash, and hadn’t had internet for three months. It was during this season that the Lord Jesus taught me a few things about blogging that I thought would be helpful to share. If you’re a blogger, I think you’ll enjoy this post.

Why You Come To Pursuing Glory
This post was my 199th post. It was my attempt to sum up the reasons why people come and participate in this crazy blog and also articulate a little bit what the path forward looked like. If you’re wondering why you’re here or you have an interest in revival, apostolic ministry, the global house church movement, interecession, or our personal lives, you should check out this post to find out why you’re in the right spot.

I wrote this blog because I was in a season of trying to plant a house church and was finding out very quickly not everyone was going to be as excited about it as I was. You also will get a good look at me wrestling with whether I wanted to bear the stigma of what was (and still is) part of belonging to a house church. The good news is the Lord is faithful and we’re still here.
Our House Church Came Together
This post came out of the very first gathering of our house church. We’ve grown a little numerically, we’ve grown a lot in community and in each other’s lives. This post ought to give you some great insight in where we started. It’s hard to believe it’s been four years.

Just because a post isn’t on the front page doesn’t mean it’s not important. The “Wayback Machine” posts occur at the end of every month and reference the best posts of that month in years past. My hope is to provide a good jumping on point for readers who have never been to Pursuing Glory.

Joel’s Birthday and the Outpouring of the Spirit
My son’s birth was a prophetic sign to us about the outpouring of the Spirit at the end of the age. On my son’s one-year birthday I reflect on the significance of this promise in Scripture.
Stuff I’m Reading….Err…Listening To
I love to review books that I’ve read in order to point people to good material. This is my review of Francis Chan’s groundbreaking book, Crazy Love.

Appropriately, this is the blog announcement of the birth of Joel. No prophetic significance mentioned here, just some insight into my thinking at the time of his birth.

This post describes an encounter I had at the Midwest Prayer Center shortly before we began our house church. A number of things happened during this month that were signs the Lord was leading us to start a house church. This was foremost among them.
A Random Meeting with a House Church Planter and Another of My 50,000 Coaches
This post describes a sit-down I had with a house church planter in our area shortly before we started our house church. What I love about this post, though, is the fleshing out of the 50,000 Coaches philosophy. If you want to understand 50,000 coaches or you want to hear about some initial encouragement I received about viral house churches, check out this post.
This is probably the most convicting post of my own that I’ve read in some time. It deals with the need to make God’s rest our priority, especially in the lives of leaders.
