This is so good. I’m an adult PK, so I’m very familiar with the world of Christian ministry. I’ve also experienced a form of church abuse, which was never dealt with. What you talk about here really hit home for me. I’ve thought a lot lately about how transactional all relationships seem to be within the church. I live with chronic health issues, which prevents me from being able to live a normal life, have a normal career/job, etc. I’m also single, and singles tend to experience a lot of discrimination in the church. So I don’t have the status of being married, having children, having a career, etc., and since I don’t have these “platforms,” if I can call them that, most people in Christian circles have come to ignore me and act like I don’t exist. Once in a while, if I seem important in some way, it’s amazing how people’s interest in me will suddenly change. It’s so unbiblical.
As Christians, it’s so good to be reminded that the gospel is simple. Let God be God in our lives instead of grasping onto another man or woman’s vision. Thanks for processing through these painful things. Keep going🫶🏼
I was happy to hear that you served in Hungary. I am a Hungarian, living in Hungary. Thank you for your podcast, I love to watch them, and they help me a lot.
Michael seems like a really legit dude. My experience was the same, got saved with a small red new testament (Giddens) and my life was changed. Praise the Lord. Great interview guys! (edit). - well said Jennifer he is 'running his race well'!
On the point of having felt that the last X years were wasted, I was thinking the only thing worse than wasting those years, is living the next X years stuck in regret over the loss. So totally agree and thankful for the point of making space to grieve and asking God to make it good somehow
Thank yuuu so much for this episode. It’s so refreshing to hear from someone who has so much wisdom and just the simplicity of the gospel of loving others. Truly healing!!!! I am grateful for his pastoral heart!!! Thank you for sharing the truth Dwayne & Jennifer.
Thé movement you were involved in stems/flows/continues directly from the William Brandan debacle. Same spirit. Glad you have the discernment to ré-embrace the Holy Spirit. Thankyou for being publicly vulnerable and truly repentant. His fruit will endure.
I graduated from a IHOPU 3 years ago, and I got here to your channel from your other content as part of the Advocate Group, and I was pleasantly surprised to hear that you were missionaries in Budapest. I have grandparents from Hungary, and know some things about the culture (definitely not an expert though), and I would like to ask if you talked about your time there on this podcast. Thanks!
Dwayne and Jennifer, Thank you for your podcast. When I saw Dwayne at the GPR in early 2023, I told him it was so good to see him and that I hoped you all would be around more. Knowing now what you were actually there for, I realize that must have been an awkward thing to hear. We appreciate what you are doing to shepherd the Body of Christ and help people heal. My husband came to KCF in the late 80s. I came to IHOPKC in 2003. How can we get in touch with you to share our stories?

Dwayne, o fazer de Deus em nossas vidas e realizado quando entregamos a ele nossa vida, tempo e tudo que somos. Ele nos guarda, nos retira e nos recoloca em lugares inimagináveis. O tempo e a obra em nos e dele. Muitas veces não compreendemos o porque das coisas, ele sabe aonde vai te colocar e cuando e somos usados porque aceitamos o agir de Deus em nossas vidas. Vivemos estações diferentes escolhidas de acordo com a nossa capacidade. Muitas veces não temos respostas e devemos esperar nele deixando que ele direcione nossa vida. Ele usará seu talento se voce aceitar o que ele quer de você agora. Ele vai mostrando o caminho para quem quer . Para que eja feita a sua vontade e não a nossa. Deus abençoe sua missão e planos. Amém
Joy Dawson's catch cry was that we are ruined for the ordinary. MB learned off her in the 70s where he was starting out. I guess he got his mandate to be exceptional from her. Christ doesn't ruin us at all, He blesses us for the extraordinary. Religion and legalism from MB and JD robs believers from the Holy Spirit. Yes by all means live an ordinary life in the moment but let the Holy Spirit make ordinary things become spectacular. No one needs YWAM or IHOPKC to to live an exciting life.
Este tema es muito importante, pensou que o valor de nossas praticas são guiadas pelo estudo do evangelio de cristo. A mensagem que ele nos deixo nos revela como fazer.Na leitura e reflexão de cada palavra conseguimos superar adversidades e vencer em santidade. O Salvador do mundo e o caminho a verdade e a vida. Esta e a nossa escolha dia apos dia. Quem busca de todo coração encontrará a forma de estar em santidade em todo tempo. Aleluia
I think in the last 15 years at least the churches love has grown cold. As a widow it seems that the love, the storge, has left the church. The whole "church" these days seems to be a deal church, as you said. I definitely am completely without relationships.

For every pastor that has gone bad you have thousands that are straight this is not a pandemic in the body you think too much of yourself if people don't want to repent that's up to them worry about your own walk
I appreciate the message, but honestly dont quite see it. Other than ihop, 99% of American churches are not super intense. They are actually really watered down. So I dont get what you guys are trying to address other than Ihop and a few groups

Religious Gnosticism dehumanizes.
Thank you Michael, Dwayne, and Jennifer, again. These podcasts are so helpful in moving forward in healing.
Really helpful and refreshing! Thank you so much!
This is so rich. I’m going to dig deeper into Michael’s teaching.

Always blessed by Michael's wisdom - thank you!
So freeing and refreshing. Thank you all.

Clarity!! Wow thank you so much. Keep up the awesome work.
This was so redemptive! Thank you!!
This is SO good! Thank-you!!
Wow. This hits deep. Thank you. Really refreshing
my only regret is that I don't have a beard like Michael or a smooth head like Dwayne :) . On a serious note this is so good guys
Thx for wisdom

We need to know what happened at the Christmas . A bit frustrating. Please share

When are we going to hear from Francis Chan?
Mike separated himself from the leadership team at MCF to found a ministry (IHOP) that would feed his grandiosity and need to ensnare young women.
For every pastor that has gone bad you have thousands that are straight this is not a pandemic in the body you think too much of yourself if people don't want to repent that's up to them worry about your own walk

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling and stop vomiting out someone else's sin
Thank you Michael but can Dwayne and JEN. be that to others....I don't see it
