Welcome to LifeStream

Hi, I'm Wayne Jacobsen and I want to welcome you to our little corner of the web. Here you'll find a lot of my writings, in article and book form, and a lot of what I share with others on this journey in blogs, podcasts and audio recordings. We provide all of these things in hopes of encouraging you to discover how Jesus wants to help you to live more deeply in him and in the affection his Father has for you.

If you're new here and want to get a quick feel for what this site is all about, you can read about our passion, and view the new video on Sharing the Father's Affection. Then you might want to review such articles such as, Why I Don't Go to Church Anymore and The Deepest Freedom. If you have a bit more time reading He Loves Me and listening to Transition will give you a more complete look at what we hope to encourage in people like you. Like most of our best stuff here you'll find them freely available to download and pass along to others as you might desire.

So, ultimately I hope this website is about you and your journey. I hope you find confirmation here for things God has already put in your heart, even if they don't fit into many of the religious voices and forms of our day. The life of Jesus was never meant to be a religion of rituals and rules to practice. Rather, Jesus has invited you into a transforming friendship with him that will allow you to share in his unfolding purpose in the earth even as his character and grace take shape in you.

Our prayer is that we all might come to discover God the Father, Son and Spirit as they really are, and thus come to experience the church of Jesus Christ as she truly is taking shape all over the planet today. I know many of you have been disillusioned by what men and women call the 'church' in our day, but isn't that a good thing? If your illusions about church have been dissed, then you may just be ready to see her as she really is-an amazing family of people from across the whole earth who are learning to live under Father's care, surrendered to Jesus' leading, and connected relationally as his Spirit desires.

It's a life well worth living, even through the most trying circumstances of this age, and one I pray you find with increasing reality, freedom and joy.
