Happy 2012 from |

Grateful for 2011, Ecstatic over 2012... As I look back over the past year, I'm filled with gratitude over what God has done… divinely orchestrating all of the speaking opportunities in multiple U.S. states, Canadian provinces & various parts of New Zealand... the way that the BLAST 2.0 Online Mentorship Program contines to blossom… the testimonies we receive from folks whose lives, marriages, and families have been greatly impacted through our books, seminars, life coaching, etc. If you'd tried to describe to me 10 years ago what this past decade was going to take shape and grow to look like, I'd have thought you were grossly exaggerating! But our God is a BIG GOD, and that's no exaggeration! He has done abundantly more than we could have ever asked for or imagined, and our ministry cup runneth over – both with blessings and responsibilities!
Warmly, | |||||||||

With so many folks receiving e-book readers in their stockings over the holidays, we're often asked if any of our titles are in e-book format. The answer is YES! Here's what's available:

We continue to be ecstatic over the response of many aspiring writers and speakers from all over the world who've chosen to invest in their own success by participating in our B.L.A.S.T. online mentorship program! Books are being birthed, speaking platforms are being enlarged, and believers are developing the courage and confidence to shout their God-given messages from the mountaintops! We're about to launch yet another 12-month class (our SIXTH one so far!) beginning March 15, so we want to remind you of a couple things... First, we deeply desire to "sow seeds" into the ministries of others, so we're offering a 50% scholarship to Christian missionaries. You do not have to be stationed in a third-world country to qualify, but merely work full-time for a non-profit Christian organization and be responsible for raising your own financial support. If you fit that category, click here to download information on how to apply for this scholarship. Second, several people have asked, "Is it possible to just watch the videos at my own pace without being involved in a monthly small group?" YES! While we believe you'll get the MOST out of fully participating in the BLAST class along with an assigned small group, we understand that not everyone is in a position to commit to "the whole shebang." Some want to go at their own pace, watching all of the videos kamikaze style (perhaps over a 12-week period of time instead of over 12 months). There are others who want to take it s-l-o-w, perhaps watching only one video each quarter and really diving into each assigned book in between videos. If you're someone who wants to go at your own pace "Lone Ranger" style, you can "audit" the BLAST class videos rather than being a full class participant. WANT TO LEARN MORE? CLICK HERE TO WATCH OUR PROMOTIONAL VIDEO! Click here for a BLAST Brochure and step-by-step application procedures. Again, we launch our next B.L.A.S.T. Class on March 15th, with a registration deadline of February 15th. Also, don't miss the opportunity to save 10% by submitting your B.L.A.S.T. application prior to the Early-Bird deadline of January 27! |

Is "Getting Financial Peace" on Your List of 2012 Resolutions?
Here's a testimony from one of our readers, "Carrie," about how this lifestyle has impacted her and her husband: I met you last summer when you spoke my church, and I have been reading your pieces on financial security playing a key role in a sexually confident marriage and totally agree! My husband lost his job of 6 years in June. It is now almost Thanksgiving, and he is still out of work (not for lack of effort!). We had done all you've advised, and have been living off our 4-6 months of savings. I am grateful beyond measure we had that money! I am also grateful that we had a sexually strong marriage going into this. My husband needs me more than ever right now, and I can't imagine getting through this if we were weak in the bedroom. Our trials right now are leading us closer together because our intimacy is more frequent, not further apart. I do not know where or when this season will end. I know with God, we will survive it. Thank you for all you do to keep our marriages strong. Keep it up! God bless! Learning to be a wise money manager isn't as overwhelming as it sounds! But the rewards are! As Dave Ramsey says, "If you learn to live like no one else, then later you can LIVE like no one else!" |

And as we enter 2012, we're anticipating that God is about to do even MORE BIG THINGS – in us, through us, and in spite of us whenever necessary! So we simply ask for your prayers for each one of us that are involved in this ministry – me, my CPA Husband Greg, Marketing Manager Skyla, Spanish Translator Sally, Prayer Team Members, and the entire staff of volunteers that support us in so many ways – that God would soverienly guide, supernaturally provide, and protectively hide us in the shadow of His wings!
