Our Foundation

More Than a Ministry.

A Movement.

First Place Ministries launched in 2015 with one conviction rooted in Colossians 1:18 — He must have first place. Not second. Not when it is convenient. First place in everything.

What does that look like in practice? It starts with understanding who we are. Most of us have heard Ekklesia described as the "called out" or "set apart." But the deeper, richer definition is this: a governing or legislative body. That identity changes everything — how we pray, how we move, and how we show up in the world around us.

"That He might come to have first place in all things." — Colossians 1:18b

Through the books Ekklesia Declared! and Ekklesia Infused!, and through the ReGenesis podcast, we are building a virtual Ekklesia community — one conversation, one revelation, and one bold prayer at a time.

Meet the Wrights

Two Lives.

One Calling.

Together, they have authored books, launched ministries, and spent countless nights in the presence of Adonai — often between 2 and 3 a.m. — seeking His counsel, His fire, and His direction for such a time as this.

He is a five-time author and the architect behind the Ekklesia framework that grounds everything First Place Ministries does. She is a prophet, a prayer warrior, and a minister of healing to families walking through cancer, ALS, grief, and loss.

Their story is not polished from a distance. It is forged in the furnace of real life — and that is exactly what makes it worth listening to.

"For the Lord Adonai will do nothing, unless He has revealed His counsel to His servants the prophets." — Amos 3:7

OUR PODCAST • NOW STREAMING

What if you could hit reset? ReGenesis is not just a name — it is a declaration. Adonai has given humanity more than one fresh start: the Great Flood, Israel's return from exile, and the pivot at Pentecost from law to grace, from religion to relationship, from anointing to indwelling. The question is, are we paying attention this time?

Each episode, we bring a scriptural worldview to the world around us — the kind of perspective that cuts through the noise and anchors you in something that does not move. We discuss Ekklesia identity, prophetic insight, healing, spiritual warfare, and what it means to be a doer of the Word, not just a hearer.

Caliatra's prophetic voice is woven throughout. She introduces us to her encounters with the Lord, her walk as a prophet, and the friends she has made in the Spirit. This is not a passive listening experience. Come ready to be challenged, stretched, and activated.

Starting Anew

God has given man several do-overs — from the Great Flood, to Israel's return from exile, to the New Testament pivot at Pentecost from law to grace, religion to relationship.

Learning from Scripture

"Now these things happened as examples for us." God did not spare us the messy details of men and women's lives. The hope is we will read and heed.

The Elijah Moment

We believe the timing for an Elijah event could be near. Our society, much like Elijah's, is caught between two opinions about God. When the fire comes down, there will be no doubt.

Prophet. Survivor.

Minister of Healing.

Meet Caliatra

There is a prayer room in their home. It used to be a bedroom. Now it is a place where heaven and earth meet — where Caliatra spends hours, often through the night, in the presence of the Lord. What comes out of that room has changed lives.

Caliatra is a cancer survivor. She has outlived a son. She has walked the road of widowhood. When she sits with a hospice patient or a family facing ALS, she is not operating from a textbook. She is walking in what she knows, from what she has survived, and from whom she has encountered in that prayer room.

Her ministry to families facing cancer and ALS is an extension of her own testimony — proof that Yeshua, who majored in healing and deliverance, is still in the business of both.

She and her husband believe the timing for an Elijah event may be near. A moment when, like on Mt. Carmel, there is no longer any question — Adonai is God. Until that fire falls, she will keep showing up in the prayer room.
