G. Bible Centered Organizations, Which Have Impacted this Ministry
The resources below were instrumental in the spiritual growth and maturation of life coaches, Brian and Deborah Johnson, over the course of the last 30 years. They directed students to the Scripture itself (King James Bible) as the sole authority for the Christian life and study, rather than man’s wisdom. Further, these ministries assisted in understanding that Paul has a unique ministry, as the Apostle of the Gentiles, teaching that is directed to the Body of Christ in this age of grace.

Note: It seems prudent to acknowledge that no one organization or individual has the corner on the Truth. This ministry would not state total agreement with any one group or individual, nor would any of these resources necessarily agree with everything taught in this ministry. We are called to think independently, keeping the Scriptures as the final authority.
