DiscipleMaking from a relational Trinitarian Perspective

Engage People Like Jesus

August 18, 2018 by Jim Fredericks

Engage people like a diamond expert approaches mining diamonds, like Jesus. When the expert encounters a mud-caked diamond-in-the-rough, his response is not, “what a clod of dirt!” No, he focuses on the potential hidden by the clod. This future possibility is the true value of a diamond, not its present condition. The diamond expert looks … Read more

Busting God-Boxes

August 13, 2018August 14, 2018 by Jim Fredericks

God-boxes busted by David in Psalm 139. Over the years, we tend to limit who God is, stuffing Him into our comfortable boxes limited by our experience. David does us a BIG favor, blowing the hinges off our God-boxes! Any small thoughts we may have of God are magnificently transcended by Psalm 139. Yet it’s … Read more

When I See Injustice

August 12, 2018 by Jim Fredericks

Psalm 139 is David’s box-buster, including how I see injustice. He blows the hinges off any box we try to stuff God in…or any box we try to stuff ourselves into. Any small thoughts we may have of God are magnificently transcended by Psalm 139. Yet it’s intensely personal. By ourselves, we could never come … Read more

Beliefs & Purpose

I’m simply joining a stream of others in this God-fueled restoration of a more relational view of the Triune God. I desire to impact every aspect of our lives with this relational Trinitarian view of God’s design for humanity as His centerpiece. The incarnation of Jesus then provides a way back into the life God planned as His new creation, a living model of how to walk this out and also reveals who His Father is. How indescribable is the beauty of Jesus!

This worldview or mental map releases God’s stunning vision of a high view of redeemed and restored humanity, while also recognizing that we are all still very much in-process.

I’m writing to those who long to be radical followers of Jesus, who couple the necessary hard work with God’s grace to partner toward LifeChange and ministry. This website is dedicated to seeing God like He really is in order to see ourselves and our world the way God sees. God is always active and involved in His creation since this world is the theater of His glory. He simply invites us to join with Him in His epic adventure through faith in Christ to make disciples who multiply, a mutual indwelling, He in us and we in Him (John 14:20).

Then we begin to see ourselves the way God sees us, which changes how we view and interact in this world. Regularly ask ourselves these three, essential questions.
1. “What is God like?”
2. “How does this God see me/us?”
3. “What are my God-assignments today to make God famous ?”
