Humility
Steve Wilson
Humility finds little value in our modern culture. It is exceedingly rare in politics and has all but disappeared from our media and from most of our entertainment. And most disturbing is that much of what we see in the media presenting a “Christian message” shows little signs of humility.

Declarations
Steve Backlund
"Nothing happens in the Kingdom unless a declaration is made."Believers everywhere are realizing the power of declarations to empower their lives. You may be wondering, "What are declarations and why are people making them?" or maybe, "Aren't declarations simply a repackaged 'name it and claim' heresy?"

“This online class has opened up opportunities [for me] I would have not been able to attend. It’s the next best thing to being there in person.” – Gwen, DSSM Student
