     | 37 views

    We’ve spent three weeks looking inward. We fixed our minds, reclaimed our identities, and rested our bodies. But today, we turn the lens outward, and honestly? It’s a little uncomfortable. I want to confess something to you: I have been a Secret Agent Christian.

    Three weeks of going inward. Week 1: Fix your mind. Break the algorithm. Week 2: Reclaim your identity. You're not a machine. Week 3: Rest your body. Stop the machine. This week: Speak your truth. Use your voice. We live in a culture that silences the Church through shame. We've learned to ...read more

Paul tells us how to arm ourselves in this battle and we'll take a quick look at these spiritual tools of ...read more

     | 5,960 views

    Jesus rarely calls the famous, the powerful, the influential, or the religious groups to preach the Gospel. He works best with those who feel that that have nothing to offer Him but follow and obey Him anyway.

In His early ministry, He preached in His hometown synagogue and nearly got Himself killed as a result (Luke 4:16-30). Wherever Jesus went, He either ...read more
