Have you taken advantage of what’s in the archives of Come Aside?
There are dozens of articles that present some excellent teaching (if I do say so myself) which has the potential to lead you into greater maturity in Christ, as well as genuine growth in the prophetic and in prayer.
I started off writing Come Aside because I felt the Lord was telling me that I had something to share. Something that wasn’t just a repackaged version of the same teaching that had been circulating for years, but rather teaching that had come from my questioning some of the commonly accepted assumptions about prayer and prophecy. Not, I hope, questioning in a critical way, but in an honest “are we sure that (for example) ’all prophecy is conditional’? How do we know that other than it’s what some prophetic leaders have said? Can we see that in scripture?” Questioning with a good heart leads us to truth, the central truth of all is the gospel, and the gospel is the BEST NEWS THERE IS! It’s worth seeking.
With that in mind, I’d like to point you toward some of what I feel are the most helpful teachings in the Come Aside archives so that if you are newer to this resource, you can make these articles a part of your summer reading. If you’ve been here right from the beginning, you might want to re-read some of these too, it’s likely there’s more to be gleaned. Some of these articles are free, public posts that anyone can access, read and share, others are “subscriber only” posts that you need a paid subscription to access.

SUMMER READING PICKS
LEARNING TO DISCERN SERIES
This is a three part series giving a clear biblical framework for how to confidently sift between a prophetic word that is from the Lord and that which sounds wonderful, but is actually soulish, meaning— it’s someone speaking what they think God might say.
Part One - The Vertical Plumbline
Part Two - The Horizontal Plumbline
Part Three - Growing out of Soulish Prophecy
AFTER FIVE YEARS… IT’S STILL NOT OLD
There are incredible benefits that come from praying the Lord’s Prayer daily. Learn why we need this and how it can radically reshape and renew your prayer life. As Dr. Tim Mackie says, “There’s a universe inside of the Lord’s Prayer!” … have you discovered it?
OUR LITURGICAL MOMENT
This article explores the idea that we move through cultural moments and God has unique ways to equip the Church to respond to each of these. Could liturgy be one of the most important ways that the Church can be strengthened and revived in this hour?
PRAYING FOR GOD’S GLORIOUS CHURCH
This is a longer series that does a deep dive into how to pray for the Church.
What does the Church need to be healthy? If you run out of prayers to pray after you get through, “please bless, provide for, and protect my church” or if you don’t feel your prayers have been answered and you’re not sure why— this series is for you. You’ll find it inspiring you to see the Church like Jesus does and to love her more than ever.
Part 1- Getting Jesus’ Vision of the Church
Part 2- It’s God’s Church
Part 3- The Church Needs the Gospel
Part 4- The Church Needs Healing
Part 5- Until We Reach Unity
Part 6- If You Don’t Go With Us…
Part 7- Joining Jesus in His Mission
Part 8- Final Thoughts
PRAYING AS A PRIEST
If you are a Christian you are a priest to God! But do you know how to function in a priestly anointing as you pray? Find out and watch God move through you in miraculous ways.
BUILDING THE ALTAR, TEMPLE, AND WALL
Another timely series speaking to the post-Covid reality of rebuilding that we are all facing. How do we rebuild our churches in a way that’s moving forward, not just going back to what we did before? How does God want to redeem the deconstruction that Covid brought and reestablish His priorities for the new season we are in?
Part One- Building an Altar
Part Two- Building the Temple
Part Three- Building the Wall
I have to admit it was really hard to pick only a few articles to recommend. There are loads of other treasures in the archives. “Time to Dig Canals” is still a relevant prophetic word, then “Answered Prayers… is This Our Reality?” and “Stubbornness or Faithfulness?” are really helpful if you want to be more effective in prayer… there’s lots to check out, scroll through the archives and see what strikes your fancy.
Oh, and don’t forget to read through the latest Revival series, prompted by a prophetic experience the Lord gave me last December!
