Jesus called His followers to more than knowing His teachings. He commanded them to abide in Him, bear fruit, and remain faithful.
That's a distinction too important to leave to assumption.
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR · JESUS CENTER OF LIFE
Was he seeing the whole biblical journey Jesus and His apostles taught - or only parts of it?
For more than three decades, Lance Edward helped individuals, churches, artists, and ministry leaders overcome challenges, develop their potential, and turn meaningful ideas into practical results.
But his greatest examination would eventually become a personal one.
Following two life-threatening experiences, he began questioning some of the beliefs he had spent decades practicing and teaching.
What followed was seven years of intensive biblical investigation, personal examination, and spiritual direction. Questions about salvation, discipleship, obedience, abiding in Christ, perseverance, and eternal life became central to his investigation.
That search helped give rise to Jesus Center of Life.

THE EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE WORK
Throughout his career, Lance has worked across denominational lines as a ministry leader, speaker, recording artist, consultant, coach, and entrepreneur.

Don't just treat the symptoms. Discover what's producing them - and address the cause.
Understanding Scripture is essential. But understanding alone is not the destination.
Through Jesus Center of Life, Lance is bringing together compassionate whole-person restoration, rigorous biblical examination, practical discipleship, and continuing support.
The purpose is to help people overcome what hinders them, examine the complete biblical path to eternal life, and learn to faithfully live what Jesus and His apostles taught.
Abide in Christ. Bear lasting fruit.
Strengthen others. Remain faithful to the end.
Lance doesn't ask people to accept a teaching simply because he presents it. Examine what God has revealed, test what you've received, and put into practice what Scripture establishes.
The authority belongs to Christ. The evidence must withstand examination. Each person is responsible for their response.
