The Kingdom needs pastors, yes; but it also needs kingdom-minded entrepreneurs, professionals, educators, creatives, leaders, and believers in every sphere of influence.
KSOM is ultimately about becoming a Kingdom ambassador.
It is about spiritual formation, understanding the Kingdom, discovering and fulfilling your God-given assignment, and becoming an effective representative of Christ wherever you are called.
If someone wrongs you, you need to decide whether you want them to suffer, or or be better.
In other words, if you want your response to punish or teach.
Often, they are opposite actions.
One feels good. The other does good.

One of the signs of maturity is becoming comfortable with being misunderstood.
You cannot fulfill your purpose and meet everyone’s expectations at the same time. Choose wisely.
When I was Muslim, man, this verse used to mess me up.
Jesus on the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
As a Muslim, I used to think: how does God feel forsaken by God? That sounds like weakness. That sounds like a prophet in pain.
But then I dug deeper.
And I realized Jesus was not speaking randomly. He was quoting Psalm 22.
That entire Psalm, written by King David centuries before Christ, is a prophecy about the crucifixion:
“They pierce my hands and feet.”
“They divide my garments among them.”
“All who see me mock me.”
In Jewish culture, quoting the first line of a Psalm pointed people to the entire passage.
So Jesus was not crying out in confusion.
He was declaring fulfillment.
He was saying: “This is that.”
And at the same time, He was carrying the full weight of sin, shame, abandonment, and suffering for humanity.
Every moment humanity has cried out, “God, where are you?” Christ stepped into that pain Himself.
That is not weakness.
That is intentional.
That is prophecy unfolding in real time.
That is the King bleeding on purpose so humanity could be brought near to God.
That is the Gospel.
Muslims love to say Jesus never taught the Trinity.
I used to think that too until I noticed something wild in the story of the adulterous woman.
The Pharisees drag this woman before Jesus, ready to stone her, trying to trap Him with the law.
And what does Jesus do?
He bends down and starts writing in the dirt.
I used to skim past that part until I read Exodus 31:18:
God gave Moses the law written by the finger of God.
Suddenly Jesus writing in the dirt was not random anymore.
He was signaling something massive:
“The law you’re trying to use against me? I’m the one who wrote it.”
Then it gets deeper.
Jeremiah 17:13 says those who reject the Lord, the fountain of living water, will have their names written in the dust.
And in John 7, Jesus says He is the source of living water and then points directly to the Holy Spirit.
So in one moment you have:
The Son revealing authority over the Law.
The Father’s identity tied to the Lawgiver.
The Holy Spirit described as living water flowing from Christ.
And then Jesus forgives the woman.
This is not random storytelling.
This is theology happening in real time.
Jesus did reveal the Trinity.
He just did it through law, living water, forgiveness, prophecy, and symbolism that the Jewish audience standing there would have understood immediately.
People miss it because they only listen to what Jesus said instead of watching what He was doing.
Pray for eyes to see it.
