One of my favorite things is helping people discover fresh ways to connect with God and their faith so they can show up in the world in health and hope. With some new tools, your prophetic gifting and insight becomes elevated to a practical, creative, and transformative level in your personal life and in the culture around you. And you don’t have to become someone else’s version of weird to do it! Classes currently available: Eyes to See, Ears to Hear: Hearing the Voice of God This fun and practical course meets once a week for four weeks, with an optional two-week bonus course available to those who have completed the original course. It is designed to sharpen and advance both those who are new to hearing God and those who are experienced listeners, and to open up a fresh connection with a God who is very eager to communicate with his kids. If you are within an hour of the Destin, FL area and you can provide a group of learners and a place to meet, I will come to you! This course is currently unavailable for streaming and distance learning. Watch here for more classes coming soon! https://www.dept61.com/speaking-engagements daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6154989385545461c041e4ac/t/61677da3590dae4e35b6f07c/1636901377982/IMG_2098.jpeg Speaking - Speaking It is always a privilege to speak at meetings, services, conferences, and retreats.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but in writing a piece of allegorical fiction, I’d written something into existence that I couldn’t shake. You can still read that post here if you like: Taking Position Dept. 61 left the realm of creative fiction and vague dreaming and began taking actual shape in 2020 with a journal entry where I poured out the desires of my heart to God. Years of thoughts and processing came together, and for the first time, all that God had been stirring in me was gathered and verbalized in one place. I still return to this entry when I need to be reminded of my why: -I want to do what you want me to do. -I want to do what you want to do together with me. -I want a front row view of what you're doing. -I want to operate outside of the boxes and pigeonholes that seek to define and confine me. -I want to facilitate encounters with you that draw others closer to your heart and empower them to step into who you say they are. -I want to live deeply entrenched in wonder and awe of you, and help others experience that also. -I want to reframe relationship with you beyond modern western church culture and language. -I want to establish a culture of love, honor, blessing, creativity, and wonder wherever I go, as I go, and I want that culture to be a consistently unifying thread in the body of Christ. -I want to empower others to go deeper and further with you, without continuing dependence on me. -I don't want to be limited to one place, one people group, one topic, one niche, one mode of operation. -I want to raise up others to step into places and positions of your power and authority for the times, places, and seasons they live in. -I want to release an anointing for the unlimited creativity of heaven to impact the limited realities of earth. -I want to transform culture. -I want to demonstrate and help others take hold of supernatural realities so that earth's "impossible" becomes heaven's "it is finished". -I want to carry and release joy and delight in God. -I want to hear your heartbeat and move in accordance with it, no matter the expectations of those around me. https://www.dept61.com/about daily 0.75 2021-10-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6154989385545461c041e4ac/t/616a640d9dd3063aabe26bbb/1637641397089/3543B879-B37A-427B-97BB-DFC0510B599C_1_201_a.jpeg About - Hi, I’m Lisa A. Tuttle. I was born and raised in Ohio. I met Alan at Ohio State University; we married in 1985 and a year later he began his career with the U.S. Air Force, which meant lots of moving until we finally settled in the Florida panhandle in 1997. We’ve been here since. We currently have four children, five grandchildren, and several weird cats. We don’t expect the number of children to change at this point, but the number of Love Nuggets and cats could certainly experience some shifting. I see the world through a lens of creativity. I also see God and faith through a lens of creativity. I am an artist but my creative endeavors stretch far beyond doing artsy things. The English language is one of my favorite creative mediums. If I can’t find the word I need I will make one up, and you will understand exactly what I mean. Or you’ll laugh. I’m ok with either. I am passionate about equipping and empowering a culture of hope dealers, peace makers, joy rebels, mercy givers, people lovers, and justice champions. I long to see humanity meet the amazing Jesus who came to set them free, and to help them be victorious over the war zone between their ears, since that’s where most battles begin and where they rage most violently. I love to train people with the goal of raising prophetic gifting to a practical, creative, and transformative level for our culture. I’ve known Jesus most of my life. I have experienced and served the church in many different settings: denominational, non-denominational, home church, traditional, charismatic, seeker-oriented, and others. I’ve learned you can find God in all of them because he loves to show up where people are, but not everyone makes as much space for him as he needs. He’s really big. If you want more of God, it’s my joy to help you make room for him. https://www.dept61.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2021-11-17 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6154989385545461c041e4ac/t/6191266f30c4fd70fd53fe22/1637108752603/nicolas-ruiz-5ugrnU5NnSg-unsplash.jpg Subscribe to Lisa's Email Newsletter
