Have you ever:
· Felt like there was a gap between what you are experiencing spiritually and what the New Testament describes?
· Wanted God to speak more directly with you?
· Wondered if your relationship with God is as deep as it should or can be?
· Wondered what Jesus was talking about when he describes “springs of living water” flowing from those who believe in God?
If so, David Takle in his book: “Forming: A Work of Grace” talks about how to take your relationship with God to a deeper and more meaningful level. In this interview he talks about his book and how a person can work with God to build a more interactive and satisfying connection with God.
It’s April 11th, 2023 and I hope you had a fantastic Easter weekend. Here in Tucson, we were praying to have over 200 in attendance. Prior to Covid, we had several Easter services of over 300 and yet we haven’t broken 200 in over three years. God blessed our Sunday service with over 220 in attendance. We also had our first Spanish-speaking service after our English service. Angel Armenta is doing a great job leading our Spanish work.
· We hired a great couple to lead our campus ministry, Coleman and Alexa Gordon. They moved to Tucson at the end of March.
· I read a book called “Backpacking with the Saints” and in the book, the author talks about backpacking Aravaipa Canyon in Arizona. I’ve been wanting to do that since I read about it 6 or seven years ago. So last week I took my two ministry interns, Kevin Lu and Coleman Gordan and we spent three days and two nights backpacking through 23 miles of Aravaipa creek. It’s a combination of trail and hiking in the stream. Our feet were constantly wet and the scenery was staggering. You have to make reservations because only 10 people per day are allowed to be in the canyon. It was super bonding, tiring and we made a great memory, walking, talking and praying together.
· I’m looking forward to the Climb Conference November 3oth in Dallas Texas. I want to ask you to please register to go. This Friday, April 15th is the last day to register for the early bird discount of $125 per person. After that, it will go up to $150 per person.

How to Support The Rob Skinner Podcast
I want to say thank you for supporting the Rob Skinner Podcast. I started this podcast at the beginning of the COVID pandemic in an effort to inspire people to multiply disciples, leaders and churches. I wanted to learn from others and share what I’ve learned over the years. God has enabled me and my wife Pam to plant churches in
1. Portland, Oregon
2. Anchorage, Alaska
3. Ashland, Oregon
4. Tucson, Arizona
5. and Flagstaff, Arizona.
My dream is to plant at least five more churches by the year 2030. Your support will help me to turn that dream into reality. Your tax-deductible gift will be given to get those churches off the ground. Please give today at:
