FAITH IN ACTION BLOG

I heard something recently that hit me with painful clarity. Especially as we think about the Church, radical faith, and the call to share Jesus Christ with the world. What started as a funny quote became a deep conviction in my own life as I continue to move in ministry and leadership: “I don’t want to babysit Christians in a building. I want to go out and share the Good News with people who are blind to it.” Evangelism matters. It always has. And yet, many Christians strugg

I need to confess something before you read another word: I’m still not sure I truly understand what real forgiveness looks like in my own life. I talk a lot about bold faith. About stepping outside your comfort zone. About the “God said, send it” life. I believe in it. I teach on it. I preach it. But I still wrestle with forgiveness and what it means. A Question I Wasn’t Ready For I was at Dinner Church when a a young girl asked me a question that felt real. She was hurting.

If you’ve been following my website or hearing me speak, you’ve probably heard me talk about the Three E’s of Empowerment : Enlighten people with the truth, encourage them in their calling, and equip them to do what God designed them to do. When all three come together, a person becomes truly empowered. Today starts our journey with the first E . The foundation for everything else: WHAT IS ENLIGHTENMENT? Enlightenment is recognizing the truth of who you are in God’s design. S

A New Season, A New Family If you don’t already know… I’M ENGAGED!! I get to marry the greatest person I’ve ever ever met and step into one of the most life-changing families I’ve ever been woven into. I originally planned to write a Thanksgiving post about gratitude and the things we all tend to overlook. But God shifted something in my heart this week. It started with a simple conversation about our wedding guest list and turned into something that challenged a mindset I’ve

We talk a lot about bold faith. We talk about taking a stand, speaking truth, making disciples, living unashamed. But somewhere along the way, we created a version of bold faith that talks loud… but doesn’t walk far. I’m convinced now more than ever: You have to earn the right to speak truth into someone’s life . When Truth Becomes a Weapon Instead of an Invitation Somewhere in our Christian culture, many of us developed this mindset: “I know what’s best for this person. If t

We live in a generation that glorifies being busy . We wear exhaustion like a badge of honor and convince ourselves that constant motion equals purpose. We feel the need to do, do, do as if we’re going to get a trophy or admiration from our peers. Think about it: have you ever seen a tree running around frantically, trying to prove itself? That sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? But take a moment to think about it. What does a tree actually do? It stands there. Day after day. Ro

I feel as if im constantly putting myself in positions that im not even remotely close to being prepared for. Its almost like I have a habit of jumping first and figuring things out mid-air. I remember one particular season where that spirit of “just go” led me on a road trip. I didn’t have much, just my vehicle, a few hundred bucks, and a backpack of clothes. I wanted to travel. I wanted to see the world. Mostly, I wanted to grow. That road took me straight into the heart

The biggest stressor of being a leader isn’t the workload or the pressure… it’s the awareness that at some point, you’re going to mess up. You’ll make the wrong call. You’ll say the wrong thing. And sometimes, those decisions will impact the very people who trusted you to make the right one. That reality can be paralyzing. I think that’s why so many people shy away from leadership. They’re not unwilling to serve; they’re simply terrified of what might happen if they fail and
