A Church without discernment is a dangerous thing. As followers of Christ, we must come to the point of maturity where discernment and righteous judgement are continually in operation. We’ve been conditioned to listen for these things coming from the mouths of church leaders, but have largely forsaken the responsibility to allow these areas to […]
Read MoreWhat if your church had no music or song service? Could you worship without song? What if there were no programs? Could children, abused women, divorcees, and recovering alcoholics gather in the same place and be equally ministered to? What if there were no weekly agenda, no growth track or building plans? Take away the […]

Read MoreIn “The Revelation of Truth: Part 1” I touched on the revealed identity of Jesus contrasted by the known identity of Jesus. To quickly summarize, the natural truths of His identity were made irrelevant and obsolete when divinely revealed truth was made known. For instance, the disciples had seen and heard Jesus operating as the […]
Read MoreIn Jesus’ life on Earth, He was 100% human. He was also, and is the Son of God. His natural identity was completely perfect and His heavenly identity was completely perfect. Each of these personas were different and they were also both right. Only one, though, is understood solely by divine revelation from the Father. […]

Hello, my name is Nathan Vierra. I’d like to take a minute to welcome you to my website and let you know a little bit about myself. I was born in Oakland, California in 1975. I enlisted in the United States Navy in 1995 and met my wife, Melissa, in the summer of ‘97 while stationed in Ingleside, Texas. We have now been married for 22 years. Our son Zion came 12 months after we were married. Five months later we moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where our daughter Natali was born a couple years down the road. Zion recently married Brooke, so we now have a wonderful daughter-in-law as well. I am currently studying at Christian Leaders Institute and I am ordained through Christian Leaders Alliance. I live with my wife and daughter in Kansas City, Missouri, where we are active members of World Revival Church.
