Life Pacific University had the great honor of hosting a Book Signing, Panel, and Night of Worship with Board of Trustee Jessie Cruickshank, legendary pastor Christine Caine, and LPU alum and worship leader Marc Wymore. This special night was one of community and empowerment. Jessie’s book Ordinary Discipleship was the focus of the night, with timely and encouraging words from President Angie Richey, Christine Caine, and Jessie as they were interviewed panel-style by the LPU’s Chair of Ministry and Theology, Dr. Tim Lee.
Jessie’s incredible book preaches the value of ordinary people being called into extraordinary leadership by God, and how to empower the Church to make disciples who make disciples as the Great Commission directs. Pastor Christine Caine helped create a ministry moment for the women who were called into ministry, praying over them and their future vocational contexts. Marc Wymore beautifully led the community into a time of worship and response, alongside current LPU Worship Arts and Media students.
This night together was one that will continue to inspire LPU students, the community, and more.

Esther knows she has much to give, because to her much has been given. “Jesus met me at my lowest point,” she remembers. “During a season when I felt lost and without purpose, He met me, freed me from depression and suffering, and restored a clear sense of calling and direction in my life.” Esther is now a sophomore majoring in Ministry at Life Pacific University, where she also serves with Student Ambassadors, a group of students who share the heart and mission of LPU at camps, churches, and other similar events. Here on campus, Esther sees how God is moving and working. “I always felt like our school is like a pan full of corn that is ready to pop,” she shares. “Holy Spirit is stirring [us] to be active in faith.”
