Sunday morning is beautiful—worship, fellowship, and preaching God’s Word. But we've missed the point entirely if our faith stops at the...

“What have you done with what we’ve learned so far?”

There is a quiet poem that asks a dangerous question—dangerous because it exposes the motives of a disciple’s heart: “Father, Where shall I work today?” And my love flowed warm and free. Then he pointed me out a tiny spot and said, “Tend that for me.” I answered quickly, “Oh, no, not that. Why, no one would ever see No matter how well my work was done. Not that little place for me.” And the word he spoke, it was not stern. He answered me tenderly, “Ah, little one, search that

It’s one thing to admire the postures of a disciple. It’s another thing to live them on a random Tuesday. Many believers agree with ideas like surrender, obedience, love, mission, and multiplication. They highlight them in books. They nod during sermons. They even share them online. But agreement does not equal transformation. Postures only become real when they are reinforced by habits. A posture without practice is just intention. Jesus never called people to admire truth.

Most believers would agree that prayer, Scripture, worship, humility, surrender, service, fasting, and waiting on the Lord are essential parts of the Christian life. We know these spiritual disciplines matter. We talk about them. We may even practice them—at least occasionally. But an honest question remains: are these disciple-making postures shaping our daily routines, or do they show up only when life slows down or a crisis hits? In Disciples Making Disciples , posture is

“ Devotion grows where attention goes. You don’t drift into devotion—you drift into distraction. ” That quote is a mirror. It shows us why so many believers feel busy but not fruitful. Distraction doesn’t usually come wearing obvious sin. More often, it comes dressed up as normal life—notifications, schedules, sports, worries, entertainment, and even church activity. None of those things is automatically bad. But they can quietly steal the one thing Jesus asks for first: devo

In the last post, we talked about how obedience often moves first —before clarity, before comfort, before results. The priests stepped into the Jordan while it was still flowing. Only after their feet touched the water did God stop the river. But here’s the part we don’t talk about as much. Sometimes obedience feels costly . There’s a subtle difference between obedience that feels bold and obedience that feels risky. Bold obedience still carries excitement. Risky obedience o

Faith is a journey, not a destination. Every day, we face moments that challenge us, moments that uplift us, and moments that call us to move forward with courage and hope. Sometimes, all it takes is a gentle nudge, a spark of encouragement, to inspire us to keep going. That’s where the giddy-up devotional comes in—a unique way to fuel your spirit and deepen your walk with God. Imagine your faith as a horse ready to gallop across open fields. What if you had a trusted guide

The beginning of a new year invites reflection, resolve, and fresh vision. We talk about goals, plans, rhythms, and change. But Scripture reminds us that spiritual breakthrough rarely begins with clarity—it begins with obedience. In Joshua 3, Israel stands at the edge of the Jordan River. The promise of God is clear: “You shall know that the living God is among you.” The method, however, is not. God gives no timeline, no water-level forecast, and no guarantee of how the cros

There are seasons in ministry when everything feels quiet. You show up faithfully. You open the Word. You pray with people. You invest time, truth, and tears into others. And yet… nothing seems to happen. No visible fruit. No dramatic breakthroughs. No clear sense that God is moving. If you’ve ever felt that tension, you’re not alone. Scripture reminds us that silence has always been part of God’s redemptive story —and often, it’s part of the disciple-making process. The p

Do you have kingdom “stuff” going on in your life? You know—disciples you’ve poured into upstream. And are you also actively looking for people to gospel and disciple downstream—if not… why not? Who have you discipled in 2025? How much have you invested in that person—or those people—since they “graduated” from you? Who will you gospel or disciple in 2026? These are important questions because they invite us to pause and realign our focus with what matters most. What Does “Up

Paul’s ministry never flowed in just one direction. He moved upstream and downstream—strengthening disciples he already trained while continually reaching those who had not yet believed. Multiplying movements today need both. Upstream simply means going back the way you came. It’s the work of returning to the disciples you’ve already invested in—checking on them, praying with them, strengthening their confidence, and giving them what they need for the next stretch of the jou

Waiting With Purpose: Trusting God in the In-Between The Weightiness of Waiting What are you waiting for God to do? Maybe you’re praying for the salvation of a family member, the healing of someone you love, or direction for your next step. Maybe you’re waiting for clarity about a job, a relationship, or a dream that hasn’t yet come to life. Waiting can feel heavy—like your heart is stuck between hope and frustration. But here’s the truth: you’re always waiting for God in so

Liking Jesus To like Jesus is to admire Him—His teachings, His compassion, His miracles, and His moral character. Many people “like” Jesus because He represents kindness, forgiveness, and peace. They respect His words as good advice or appreciate His example as a moral teacher. However, liking Jesus remains intellectual mainly and emotional; it doesn’t necessarily lead to surrender. Jesus encountered crowds who liked what He did but turned away when His message demanded repe
