Together we are equipping the Church to responded effectively and lovingly to some of the toughest challenges in life.

Consider what leaders have shared with us at recent events:

“The 2019 [Sexual Integrity Leadership] conference in Atlanta was my first. It will not be my last. As a senior pastor, my eyes were opened to a vast landscape of teaching, brokenness and ministry that I now realize my church, and the “big-C” Church, have not been attentive to. I am praying for the Lord to guide me in next steps to begin new pathways of teaching, discipleship and ministry at my church.”

“[Sexual Integrity Leadership Summit] is a catalyst for redefining how the church and the family should be responding and engaging with God’s design for sexuality and our broken world.”

Made for something more

We often use the phrase “God’s design for healthy sexuality,” but this isn’t much more than a soundbite if we don’t take time to unpack and examine it. The Christian vision understands healthy sexuality as a means by which people make themselves a gift for another.

Why “Brushfires?”

People sometimes wonder why we named this ministry The Brushfires Foundation. We most often cite a Sam Adams quote: “It does not take a majority to prevail, but a …tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in men’s minds.” There is another influence on our choice of names, however, that is little known outside...

Sex and global evangelism?

Recently, I was talking to a friend who asked, “Do you think your work on sexual brokenness is a doorway to evangelism?” This is a great question and my answer is a resounding “YES.”

What is your gift to the world?

I once attended a conference that began by asking everyone to pray about what God was calling us to share over the weekend. Only one phrase came to mind: "All you have to offer is your brokenness."
