Apostolic Technologies – Supernatural Algorithms
David Stafford’s Apostolic Technologies: Supernatural Algorithms is a bold, scripture-rich exploration of how divine knowledge becomes spiritual practice. Stafford takes familiar language from technology, including coding, operating systems, DNA, input values, and algorithms, and uses it to explain the orderly ways God works through revelation, obedience, prayer, unity, and apostolic ministry. The concept gives the book a distinctive vocabulary and makes its central message clear: spiritual power isn’t random, and biblical principles are meant to be understood, applied, and lived.
The book begins by building a theological foundation around the first and last Adam, the apostolic seed, spiritual rebirth, and the believer’s new identity in Christ. From there, Stafford develops his vision of the church as a living body carrying divine truth, nurturing relationships, and an apostolic mission. His teaching is energetic and direct, moving between close readings of Scripture, word studies, scientific comparisons, church history, and personal ministry experience. It feels less like a quiet devotional and more like sitting in an intensive training session with a teacher who expects readers to engage, think, and act.
As the book progresses, its focus widens from personal identity to corporate reformation. Stafford calls for an active, Spirit-led church marked by apostolic and prophetic partnership, spiritual unity, courageous leadership, and practical obedience. His chapters on ancient Israel’s technologies, laying on of hands, spiritual confrontation, and the dangers of controlling leadership all serve this larger vision. The language of systems and processes helps connect subjects that might otherwise seem unrelated, showing them as parts of one spiritual framework designed to equip believers for service.
The final chapters on fasting bring the book’s ideas into their most practical form. Stafford presents fasting as consecration, spiritual warfare, disciplined desire, corporate agreement, and persistent prayer, with Daniel’s twenty-one-day fast serving as a powerful closing model. Throughout the book, his conviction is unmistakable: believers have been given more than a place in the pew, they’ve been given an identity, an assignment, and spiritual tools for carrying it out. Apostolic Technologies turns biblical revelation into a working blueprint for believers who are ready to move from spiritual potential to kingdom action.

Tests of Character
A Second Chance follows a faith-filled teen whose prophetic dreams, fractured family, and fierce love for her best friend collide with online grooming, violence at home, and the cost of believing God can still redeem what’s been broken. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?
I was listening to “Running up That Hill” by Kate Bush, and I thought, what would it take a teen to make a deal with God? And I expanded upon that because not everyone has a perfect life, and that makes youth vulnerable. Vulnerable youth are key targets for predators, in person and online. I wanted to show that through it all, faith can get you through it, and so can supportive, responsible friends and family.
Mikaila’s dreams play a major spiritual role. How did you balance portraying divine guidance without removing her agency as a character?
Many times, in life, we’re given tests–tests of character and even tests of faith that require us to use our own strengths and character to get through them. I wanted to focus on the internal and external struggles of passing those tests.
What were some themes that were important for you to explore in this book?
Friendship, because that is foremost important when you’re a teen. Secondly, I wanted to tell the truth about manipulation, loyalty, and faith under pressure.
How did you approach writing faith conversations so directly while still keeping the voice authentic to teens?
I thought about my nephews, who are faith-driven teens now, and what the conversation would look like from their perspective.

For Mikaila, faith is simple. When her best friend Chara is in a horrific car accident, Mikaila makes a promise to God: Chara’s life for her devotion. She is determined to guide her friend back to the light.
But an old friend from her past has other plans. He’s charming, intelligent, and seems to understand Mikaila better than anyone. Until charm becomes pressure. Until flattery becomes control. Mikaila finds herself trapped in a game she doesn’t understand.
Chara tries to warn Mikaila before the game turns deadly. But in a world of doctored emails and masterful lies, they discover that the most dangerous predator is the one everyone trusts. A Second Chance is a faith-lit YA suspense about the dangers we don’t see until they’re too close, and the courage it takes to run toward the light.
Emerge Stronger
The Rise follows a gladiator trapped in a collapsing society ruled by tyrants who has to battle enemies, inner demons, and a regime built on resurrection and control. What was the initial idea behind this story, and how did that transform as you wrote the novel?
The initial idea was I wanted to explore what would happen if man was able to wield a small portion of God’s power and what they would do that. How would they respond? Would they use for good or for selfish reasons? It became obvious to me as I finished book one (The Wall)… That I would need two more books to complete the story to satisfaction.
What are some things that you find interesting about the human condition that you think make for great fiction?
I think that the human condition seems to gravitate towards either love and goodness or power and evil. And that we need to actively hold our thoughts and actions captive.
The Rise begins in a traditional way but then takes a turn that defies traditional sci-fi storytelling, turning into a dark, emotional exploration of trauma, resistance, and sacrifice. What was your approach to writing the story?
The Rise is book 3 in The Wall Trilogy. It is an accumulation of all the trials, sacrifice, heartaches, and battles of good against evil from the first two books. I wanted to put the characters through trial after trial so they could finally emerge stronger at the end and learn what really matters.
Where do you see your characters after the book ends?
I see our main characters Asher and Sarai finally be able to live in peace with their son. For the first time, they don’t have the threat of war or outside forces trying to separate them. And although they still have the struggles from their past, they can finally move forward with love.
