We Exist to Draw Believers Closer to the Heart of God.
Bethany Urban Development was born out of a passion to mobilize Christians into the harvest field and develop strategic partnerships for community transformation.
The ministry has produced books and materials through Ardor Media to cultivate a deeper hunger for God and a greater compassion for the helpless.
Restoring the Beauty
Sexual Sin is Our Achilles’ Heel
Tragically, the Western Church has failed in turning many believers away from sexual sin.
Christian men continue to be controlled by sexual desires. This has led to guilt, shame, and a
truckload of regret. Christian men still want personal revival and sexual purity, but the goal has
become increasingly elusive.
But God is Restoring the Beauty
Recently, my deep concern was transformed into hope as I heard the Lord say, “I am restoring
the beauty.” Suddenly, I realized that God was not satisfied with forgiving our sins. He wanted a
restoration of innocence and a renewed perspective of sex. I saw He wants to heal and
restore—not just forgive.
To Fulfill Our Spiritual Destiny
Restoring the Beauty is biblically based and spiritually practical. It provides a roadmap to gain
and sustain victory over sexual sin. By God’s grace we can experience healing and freedom from
sin and shame. This is the Good News that is desperately needed in today’s broken world. With
God on our side, we will fulfill our spiritual calling and destiny.

Who We Are.
Ardor Media is a division of Bethany Urban Development, a ministry dedicated to promoting transformative revival in urban communities. Beginning with a simple, life changing challenge, “I want you to reconnect with the lost, especially the poor and needy” (see Isaiah 58:6,7), the Lord directed B.U.D. to the urban core of South Minneapolis. Since then, a vision for uniting local churches to influence their troubled community has emerged with positive societal changes.

To Know Him
I found myself in a beautiful garden, one filled with streams of clear waters and the richest of trees. The sun’s light was faint and yet I could see everything within the shadows. Beside me walked the source of this garden’s beauty, my dearest Jesus. We walked for...

Whose Story Is It?
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is found in Matthew 14:22-33. I have heard it told many different ways, but all seem to share the same emphasis; a story of Peter’s faith being tested as he walked on the waters. I found myself reading it again in my quiet time...
