JD Vance: "If you believe that Jesus is the son of God, rose from the dead on the third day, there are a lot of progressives who will say you're a crazy person."
Walking with Jesus doesn’t guarantee an easier life, it doesn’t guarantee that things would always go our way. Sometimes God may send us into a storm, sometimes He may lead us into a valley. But it’s in those moment where we learn to trust Him and we learn to surrender, which isn’t easy. It’s in those moments where we can see how weak we are without Jesus and how much we need Him. God doesn’t abandon us in the storm or valley and He’s not working against us. He’s with us in every moment and He’s for us. In those moments, sometimes it’s hard to see what He’s doing, but we have to walk by faith and we have to hold on to His promises. The storms and the valleys that He takes us through at times are not meant to destroy us, but it’s to draw us closer to Him and to build us up into the man and the woman He’s calling us to be. Don’t let go, keep holding on!
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
You Will Leave Everything
The most important day of your life will the day of your death. Think about that. On that day, nothing else will matter except what you have done for God and where you are going. Your house, your car, your money, your sports will mean nothing on that day. You will be leaving time and entering into eternity. Meditate on that breathtaking moment. In the exhale of one breath, you will leave everything you love. Your wedding ring. Your spouse. Your loved ones. Your vehicle. Your money. Everything. Tonight, God could say to you, "This night your soul is required of you." Let such sobering thoughts consume you. Let them drive you to use your life for what matters, to reach out to the unsaved and make a big dent in this sinful world.
There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
Palm Sunday. The only time Jesus had a triumphant recognition as the King He is when He was here on Earth.
Fulfilled prophecies. Gave way to sacrifice, and ultimately redemption.
Focus on Him to start your week. He paid it all, for you and for me. All to Him we owe.
“I wish at [my player’s] age, I would’ve gone much deeper into a relationship with Jesus Christ… To me, the most important thing is to God with all my heart, soul, & mind.”

Whoever needs to be reminded of this today...
We are commanded by God to expose evil - do NOT stay silent in the face of darkness.
We fight, we advance, we shine His light into every shadow.
God is on our side, He equips the called.
What He's preparing demands our patience, laser focus, and unbreakable faith.
I believe the tide is turning. The darkness is panicking.
Hold the line - don't you dare give up now.
Keep exposing. Keep shining. Victory is coming. 🇺🇸
“Real men do live for Christ. It is important to make your peace with Christ while the opportunity exists. Life is so fragile that you never know when it’s going to be over.”
- Chuck Norris
Some days feel heavy.
Some days feel small.
Every day matters.
Even in the quiet, messy, or heavy moments, God is at work. Every day matters when we trust Him.
What small moment today reminds you of His faithfulness?
"First, God’s been good… I have to glorify His name… We believe in God. We pray every day. We give glory to the one and only, Jesus."
