He operates a non-profit organization to facilitate the freedom ministry model called Freedom Prayer (www.freedomprayer.org). He and his coauthor have written a book on being an emotional and spiritual "first responder" - Freedom Tools (Chosen Books).

Blood Moon Tetrads
In 24 as the hype about the Blood Moon Tetrads was growing Andy, perhaps because he is an amateur astronomer and has been doing a project called "Trajectories" tracking some of the signs of the end, was asked several times his opinion on the phenomenon and what "sane but expectant Christians" should be thinking. This video is the outgrowth of those requests.
In it Andy discusses Here are the contents: (1) what is happening 0:00, (2) what some are saying about it 3:47, (3) the conflict between seer and scientist 12:49, (4) our own end times theory 24:24, (5) scientific and historical basis for all this 40:23, (5) real world end times sign tracking "trajectories" 50:49, (6) how Jesus answered this exact question about what to do 59:23, and the snappy close 1:06.

In 2011
Andy began sharing daily, or almost daily (ok sometimes more than one a day)
about what he and God were thinking and talking about. Since they were "too long
for a blog and too short for a tweet" Andy began to post them on Facebook. Word
got around and many people began to read and share them.
They tend to be wry, sometimes edgy, often encouraging observations of life and especially Christian life. Recent comments have included:
"made my whole day - keep writing"
"truth!!"
"ok ya got me... now I gotta repent :)"
"...I wanna follow you around just to see where you get this stuff - so good!"
After some time so many people asked Andy to save them and put them somewhere he went back and retrieved them and began to collect them. The result is the first edition of "Bleats" which is available in both Kindle version and paperback through Amazon.
And now, in late 2015 Andy released Bleats 365 - daily readings for a whole year, fun, inspirational, and some times laugh-out-loud irreverent.

$9.95 + S&H
A
story of immense majesty,
interplanetary intrigue, narrow escapes, strange coincidences,
signs in the night sky, mystical visitors, and a
centuries old chess match between God and His dark opponent... with the fate of
all mankind hanging on a star.
And best of all... it's true!
Andy combines original investigations, thorough analysis, hours of background reading, and quite a few never found truths and "coincidences" to bring you the most accurate and up to date explanation of the Star of Bethlehem, and more, the amazing ways of God through the centuries making it possible.
This is an on on-site multimedia presentation (Andy will come to you), streaming video or at-home DVD digipac that compellingly portrays the majesty, science, geography and history behind the story of the Star of Bethlehem and the Magi.
NOTE; The streaming video presentations do not work on Google chrome due to the fact it no longer supports Adobe Flash. They do work on Fire fox and Internet Explorer.
He has spoken at universities, public schools, private schools, for Dave Ramsey staff, churches and business groups both secular and Christian.
Freedom
Tools is a definitive guide to Freedom Prayer Ministry but is also so much more. Many
churches have used it as a long-term bible study or Sunday school class because
of the key foundations it builds into someone's life.
Now in its second edition and adding Jennifer Barnett to the team, it is used by every domination and sold on every continent except Antarctica. It has been sold and used in Charismatic Churches, Churches of Christ, Baptist, Presbyterian, and even blogged about by an Orthodox Priest!
Here is what a few people you may know are saying:

Your Destiny
The Non-Random Strategy Against You
Freedom Prayer Ministry is a lay-based "spiritual first aid" approach to prayer ministry designed to
help others in simple, informal, daily and church-based settings be more free
from
sin, pain, strongholds, and limiting beliefs. It is trans-denominational and has
been
found useful in thousands of church, daily-life, and therapeutic settings. It
has spread to many churches and has helped be a transformative agent in discipleship, decision making, marriage and children's ministries and the daily life of the church.The Freedom Resource is a 501(c)(3) non- profit that works to support and facilitate a freedom model and set of tools and understandings we call Freedom Prayer. Based on the best of several prayer ministry models and tools, Freedom Prayer is a flexible approach that is spreading among hundreds of churches and individuals. It borrows the best from many sources, adds new understandings, and fits them into a framework that is balanced and effective. We offer downloadable materials, links, training, and more.
We are all volunteers, normal people, friends, and family – just like you. That is
the beauty of Freedom Prayer, it is simple, and it is for us – all of.
Freedom Prayer Characteristics
Papa's Love Letter
Ministry to the Broken
 Two
Things is mostly just an idea. Two Things connects the hearts,
wisdom and experience of proven "fathers and mothers" to the next
generations by giving them the opportunity to share two things they
would like to pass on - live and unrehearsed.
Long gone are the days where multiple generations live together, take meals together, and sit and talk together. While there may still be respect for "elders" there is little or no natural way to interact with them. Many twenty and thirty-somethings have moved far from their families of origin. It is very rare, even in church settings, for exemplary individuals but who are not part of the pastoral team, to have a chance speak meaningfully to the next generation. What is a Thing?
Who shares a Thing?
When and where were Things shared?
Here is the lineup: |
“The Essential Israel Project” attempts, on the bases of biblical study and roundtable facilitated discussions with people experienced and knowledgeable in a wide range of related fields, to answer the question; “What are the essentials for every individual and church to believe and do concerning Israel?”
Our goal was to be able to honestly and confidently honor God, Israel, and all peoples in accordance with God’s spoken word. We worked through and eliminated things that were nice but not essential, things that provoked theological argument in non-essentials (e.g. eschatology issues), or things that were obviously only cultural or historical). The paper provides background, philosophy and a comprehensive table of those scriptures that seem true for all people in all times.
