What is “Shalom” anyway? And what is this blog about?
Shalom Means Peace … And So Much More. Shalom is the Hebrew word for holistic peace — peace that permeates every aspect of our lives and our being. It is a word used throughout scripture to describe the absolute joy, flourishing, fulfillment, and bliss found in the presence of God. It also conveys the beautiful, interdependent relationships that God’s people eternally share with Him, each other, and all of creation.
Nothing Broken… Nothing Missing… The way things are supposed to be. Shalom is what has come into the world through Christ, and is made complete when Christ returns and fully eradicates sin and death forever. God is glorified as Shalom happens. We have a mission as God’s people to discover and display the Shalom of God’s Kingdom to this hurting world by faithfully proclaiming the Gospel in WORD and DEED as we share life with our neighbors. This blog documents one Kingdom Family’s journey to Shalom…
I have been loving school and wanted to share a nice little nugget of truth one of my professors just wrote. It really encouraged me tonight as I face the struggles of life in a broken “not yet” fully redeemed world… God is God and I am not. He is in control and I can […]
“Beware least even as a Christian you fall into Satan’s Trap. You may have come to know and found God and the LORD Jesus Christ, receiving Him sincerely as your redeemer, yet if you do not enter into the mystery of Godliness and allow God to be in you the origin of His own image, […]

It is our 6 year anniversary today and I am sitting here in the hospital looking at my new son Benjamin Zion. I still can not believe we have 4 kids. He is so precious and I am so thankful that God has brought this little guy into our family to join His plan in […]
Kimberly did amazing in labor and looks amazing too I might add! I can not believe how quickly she popped that little guy out. We headed to the Hospital at 10:15 pm September 17th and by 11:18 Benjamin was here, weighing in 7 lbs 9 ounces. Only 11 minutes of pushing! Way to go babe. […]
First I want to say that I am blown away by the way God Provides. These last days before moving to Florida we had no money and no way to rent our truck. The day before we needed it God provided and so we were able to rent a 16 foot budget truck and we […]
Danny and Kimberly Iverson met while in college and fell in love 3 years later while Danny was leading an inner-city ministry in Newark, NJ. Their hearts for the disinvested spaces of society, and the conviction of God’s love and redemptive purposes for such places, drew them together on mission and continues to be a driving force as they follow God’s calling to discover and display an expression of the body of Christ that is focused on reconciliation and renewal. They love being on mission with their family of eight children – Daniel Josiah, Trinity, Katy-Grace, Benjamin Zion, Malachi, Judah, Gwennalyn and Joel. They currently live in Atlanta, GA and are sharing life with their neighbors and leading a house church and community development organization called Restore Life.
