welcome to

Soaring with Him!

Birds flee from storms. It’s in their DNA. They see the storm clouds forming in the horizon and run for coverage.

But not Eagles.

Eagles look at the storm clouds and charge them. The use their mighty wings to fly in high speed towards the heights, and often charge the stormy clouds because they know it:

There is peace above them.

When they reach the heights, they lock their wings and SOAR.

God designed them to do so.

What if i told you that yahweh designed you the same way?

Listen to my welcome video and let’s connect, grow and serve the Lord together!

Testimonials

Patricia’s Writing & Speaking

“Although I’ve been a passionate follower and student of Jesus for over 35 years, I often find myself in the tension between what I say I believe and how I live. In Twelve Inches, Patricia Holbrook takes us on a journey to bridge that gap with deep faith. Step by step she walks us over the bridge toward a destination of abundant life in Jesus. I’ve finished Patricia’s book with my hands full of the tools I need to live a greater faith!”

Amy Carroll, Proverbs 31 Ministries Speaker & Writer, Author of Breaking Up with Perfect

“Twelve Inches felt less like a book and more like a conversation with a faithful friend. Full of transparency, vulnerability, and faithfulness to the truth of God–this powerful book hit home in so many ways. Patricia’s words comfort and challenge, reveal and refocus, humble and help. This work is a beautiful gift to the body of Christ and I cannot recommend it enough.”

Audra Haney, Writer/Producer for the 700 Club

“I greatly enjoyed this extremely thought-provoking book that leads to the answer of a very important question: How can I develop a deep and meaningful relationship with God, beyond a mere intellectual knowledge of Him? How can I keep on believing when troubles strike and my emotions get on the way of great faith? I believe this book contains the Biblical principles that, if applied, have the power to transform hearts and minds and encourage many to serve Him wholeheartedly. I highly recommend it!”

Eleni Leite, Precept Ministries International / Portuguese Speaking Countries – Director

“Patricia Holbrook’s book Twelve Inches has truly awakened me spiritually and reminded me that being God’s child is about more than going to church and being a good person. Her personal testimonies and candor bring reality to the pages, making her teachings very relevant. I will be sure to stay focused on Jesus in all I do, and in difficult times tell my heart what I know about God: He is my Healer, Deliverer, Constant Friend and Savior. Thank you, Patricia for following the leading of God’s Spirit to write this book. It will be a blessing to all who read it!”

George Saffo, Content Acquisition Manager – iDisciple, LLC

“In Twelve Inches, author Patricia Holbrook offers a poignant collection of essays that are a guide to eliminating the barriers that keep us from that intimate communion with our Lord and Savior. Through her own personal trials and observations of our struggling world, she shares how to rid ourselves of distractions to draw closer to Christ. She urges all of us to look closely how to meld the Twelve Inches that separate our hearts and our minds to live a more spiritual life.  A must-read for any Christian aspiring to strengthen their faith.”

Richard L. Jackson, producer, “90 Minutes in Heaven”, chairman, Family Christian Stores

“Twelve Inches is an eye opening reminder of God’s infinite love for His children. With complete honesty, Patricia has allowed her readers to realize the unfiltered truth behind our disconnection with the Father and all that He desires for us. She has remarkably captured in her own life’s experience the essence of building the “Twelve inch bridge” and a compelling challenge for us to do the same! Beautifully written, it is a book that every Believer should read and share with a lost friend or loved one.”

Rodney Brooks, Minister of Music, First Baptist Church of Atlanta

“Loneliness. Loss. Cancer. Patricia Holbrook has been through enough personal trials to know what it feels like to wonder what God is up to, even sometimes doubting his goodness. Twelve Inches is a book about trusting God, even through life’s darkest trials, on the road to experiencing the truth of God’s immeasurable love regardless of your circumstances.”

Carol Smith, Area Coordinator, Operation Christmas Child

“For every woman who feels defeated, stressed, insecure, or just weary of wanting an abundant life but not finding it, read this book! I was blessed by it, learned from it, and plan to keep a copy in my resource library to read and reference in the future–both personally and for ministry.”

Kimberly Rae, Award-winning author of 20 books

“The distance may be short but the journey can take a lifetime. In Twelve Inches, Patricia bridges the gap between your emotions and what you know about God. This book will help you begin to walk in the spiritual reality and maturity you long for. Patricia shares her own journey in a way that will help you live your life as a vibrant Christian. You’ll discover, twelve inches is all it takes to love the Lord with all your heart and with all your mind.”

Lisa Ryan, Christian TV Host, author, speaker

“Patricia has given us a great tool to help us understand the difference between how we feel and what we know to be true. This is an easy read with real life stories and examples of how God has worked in her life and how He can work in yours.”

Yvonne Conte, Day of Joy Ministries, Fort Myers, FL

“In a knowledgeable and loving manner, Twelve Inches helps us better understand our personal faith in God, while compelling us to build our 12-inch brain-to-heart bridge in order to prevent our emotions from guiding our destiny. It’s an insightful and helpful resource to help us learn that God has so much more for us than what we have experienced.

As Patricia helps us understand how to ‘bridge the gap between how we feel and what we know about God’, we are reminded that God has the power to redo and remake us in a unique way. The society in
which we live needs to hear this. A very important read.”

Mary Gellerstedt, Director, Global Missions – First Baptist Church of Atlanta

“I have known Patricia and Steve for many years. They are the real deal and I am blessed to count them as friends. You owe it to yourself to read the book and to learn from Patricia’s experience with trials, temptation, testing and trusting the Lord. The counsel she provides in this book is biblical and born out of personal experience. Read the book, have her speak for your event, get to know her and get to know Him better!”

Pastor Jim Haines, Minister to Boomers and Seniors, First Baptist Dallas

jugando-con-la-tentacionManfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen era un militar y aviador alemán famoso enlistado con el Servicio Armado Aéreo Alemán durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Conocido como el Barón Rojo por su avión rojo el triplano Fokker Dr.I, Richthofen derribó más aviones de combate que cualquier otra persona en cualquiera de los dos bandos en la primera guerra mundial.

En Abril 21 de 1918, mientras peleaba en la batalla cerca del río Somme en Francia, comenzó a perseguir a un avión Canadiense que trataba de escapar de los ataques alemanes. Mientras el Barón Rojo perseguía a su presa, el se apartó de las líneas aliadas.

Empezó a pilotear bajo, dentro de las líneas del enemigo, y no vió al piloto canadiense Arthur “Roy” Brown, quien rapidamente se acercó para salvar a su camarada.

Nunca sabremos si fue un disparo desde la tierra o un disparo de Brown el que mató a Richthofen. Pero lo que si sabemos es que el Barón Rojo llegó a su fin porque cometió el error de perseguir a ese avión aliado por mucho tiempo, muy lejos y a muy baja altura dentro del territorio enemigo.

Todos hemos escuchado las historias, o hasta hemos sufrido nefastas consecuencias de decisiones poco sabias o sanas. Bien sea malas decisiones hechas por nosotros o por personas cercanas a nosotros, hemos visto vidas marcadas por el adulterio, adicciones o deuda incontrolable.

Hemos visto matrimonios que pensamos eran sólidos, arruinados y destruidos por la lujuria descontrolada de una persona. Hemos escuchado de jóvenes atados por el abuso de drogas o alcohol. Y sabemos de personas quienes no logran controlar su deseo de gastar dinero o de apostar.

Cuando las noticias  sobre las consecuencias desastrosas de sus decisiones llegan a nuestros oidos, somos con frecuencia tomados por sorpresa.

La historia verídica del Barón Rojo, sin embargo, ilustra magistralmente un hecho que no se puede negar: Aunque la derrota total pueda ocurrir de repente, posicionarse para la derrota es un proceso gradual. Esposos y esposas no se levantan un día y proclaman, “Hoy, le voy a hacer infiel a mi esposa(o).” De la misma manera, nadie se toma una bebida o experimenta con drogas por primera vez con la intención de convertirse en un adicto. Usualmente comienza con una decisión pequeña y con una concesión a la vez.

“Un poco de levadura fermenta toda la masa.” Cuando el escribió estas famosas palabras, el apóstol Pablo se estaba dirigiendo a la iglesia en Gálatas sobre los peligros de falsas enseñanzas. Sin embargo, la verdad detrás de este versículo va más allá de su contexto original.

AJC 08.03.16 Temptations 001

Sabemos cuáles son nuestras debilidades personales, al igual que las tentaciones que acechan alrededor de nuestros pensamientos más profundos. Sin embargo, muchos de nosotros nos engañamos a nosotros mismos al pensar que podemos controlar y dominar situaciones llamativas. Gente con problemas maritales abren sus puertas a posiciones comprometedoras, las cuales pueden llevar fácilmente al adulterio. Gente atraída por adicciones saben que no deben tomar o hacer drogas nuevamente, y sin embargo, sus brazos voluntariamente alcanzan lo que más les ata.

Una pequeña decisión a la vez, lentamente, pero con paso seguro y cualquiera es culpable de descender al territorio enemigo mientras pelea con las mismas cosas que no puede controlar. Y antes de darnos cuenta, el pecado ha enredado nuestras vidas y pensamientos, de manera que no podemos escapar de su control.

Yo personalmente me rehuso a ser tan ingenua como para pensar que no puedo caer en tentación. Sé que hay un enemigo allá afuera, quien no desearía más que hacerme inefectiva y derrotada. Por lo tanto, elijo distanciarme de los territorios que ofrecen cualquier cosa que me pueda engañar o hacer caer. No quiero ser contada como una persona más que ha sido derribada porque eligió vivir demasiado tiempo, muy lejos y a muy baja altura dentro del territorio enemigo, causándole así sufrimiento a mi testimonio, familia o salud por las consecuencias de mi negligencia.
