The 42nd Generation (part 2)

In my last post, I talked about the 42nd Generation: a generation who acknowledges their identity and accepts their inheritance as children of God. But then what? Our goal at G42 is to inspire and challenge members of the 42nd Generation–no matter where they are in life, status, age, class, or the world–to live like […]

The 42nd Generation (part 1)

In the past, I’ve mentioned our non-profit, “G42” and you may have noticed “The 42nd Generation” as one of my blog categories… but I’m not sure if I’ve described what I mean by this phrase. The concept of the 42nd Generation is initially taken from Matthew chapter 1, the genealogy of Jesus Christ. If you’re […]






Interns at play

So What Happens Here at G42?

Here’s another blog I’d like to highlight from one of our interns.  It gives a great synopsis of what is going on here at the Leadership Academy.  I have to say, we break the mold and any expectations that most people have of this place!  Shanda Dodd is one of our “second termers” here in […]






In Mijas, Spain, Dreaming of a Better World

Seth Barnes, director of Adventures in Missions, is a gifted writer as well as a strategic thinker. He’s spent the last four days here in Spain, working with me on the 2010 plan for the G42 Leadership Academy, sharing with the interns some of his experience with building ministries, and been an all-around encouragement to […]






“The Reality” – G42 Leadership Academy Intern blog

I know, I haven’t blogged in about a million years.  But I was spurred to at least re-post this blog by Nicholas Hindes, an intern at the Leadership Academy that is due to graduate this month.  Nicholas is just one of the interns who have had their life dramatically changed–wrecked–by the amazing and inspirational teaching […]






Here’s What You’re Missing…

This is a quick blog that I posted on the G42 Leadership Academy blogsite. We have an amazing series of courses linedup, with some world-renown teachers, prophets, and leaders.  And keep checking out the blogsite, the interns are now posting there, and it will give you a real insight into some of the things we […]






Spain. the next step in my life.

The following blog was written by Tara Stephenson, who will start at the G42 Leadership Academy in the June term. She is just one of the many who are coming to begin a life of community, discipleship, and become a part of what we call the 42nd Generation — of people realizing their inheritance in […]






Bringing Order to Chaos … but still itchy…?

This would have been an excellent blog for photos.  Unfortunately, I have none.  Good start, eh? Anyway, the interns and staff did some work around the yard of our villa last Saturday.  We pruned trees and hedges, cut the grass and weeds, chopped down some dead trees, moved piles of dead palm trees that were […]






A Multi-Generational Generation, and a Multi-National Nation!

I’ve spent the last week installing the kitchen, putting together IKEA cabinets, and feverishly putting together the last minute details for the students staying at Villa Los Grillos.  (with the help of Rebecca and some of our friends here, of course.)  A nice thing about Spain are the coffee breaks:  the ladies set out an […]
