Texas Pastor Josh Howerton Shares What Megachurch Pastors Actually Do With Their Money
“What a lot of people don’t know is what he did with all the money. First, he repaid the church every dollar that they’d ever salaried him. Then he and his wife sat down and figured out how to reverse tithe on the money.”
“They gave away 90% and only lived on ten. He used that money to start a series of nonprofits that helped the poor. People ask, ‘Why don’t I ever hear those stories?’ Because planes that land safely don’t make the news.”

When “here” feels hopeless, remember: Heaven is real, and Jesus is the King of both.
This new song is on my upcoming record Jesus is King. Who wants to hear more? 🙏👑
Discipline > Motivation
Everyone wants to win… until it’s time to do what winners do.
Discipline is showing up when it’s inconvenient.
It’s doing the hard thing—especially when no one’s watching.
It’s choosing the rep, the film, the early morning, the tough conversation—even when you don’t feel like it.
Here’s the truth:
You will never rise to your level of motivation.
You will rise or fall to the level of your discipline.
The scoreboard doesn’t lie.
Your habits will always reveal your priorities.
So the question becomes:
Will you let feelings lead you?
Or will you lead yourself with discipline?
Because that’s the separator.
That’s where greatness is built.
That’s where winners win.
Let’s be the kind of people who show up—no matter what.
Lord my Life is in your Hands! Lead me, Direct me & Protect me from the fool's & foolishness that ain't good for me. Be the light in Darkness and guide me to the people, places & things that u want for me Lord. In Jesus name AMEN! #COACHPRIME
Dear God,

Give me courage and wisdom to spread the Good News about you. Today, may I decrease, so that You may increase. I surrender all to You, Jesus. Use me today in any way You see fit to help advance your kingdom on this earth. I pray against the plans of the enemy and any distractions he may use to get me off your plans for my life. I pray you would allow the powers of the Holy Spirit to guide and lead my heart today. Hallelujah…Jesus wins is the headline of my story!
In Jesus Name,
Amen 🙏
“The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.”
- Psalms 29:11
Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep showing up. Take the next step and trust God with the rest. You might get tired of fighting. But you never fight alone. 🙏
Dear God,
Today, as I jump into this new month, I’m so grateful. Thank You for this past month and all Your incredible work in and through my life. Please continue to bless me so that I can be a blessing to others. Please restore me so I can help encourage others. Please energize me and fill me with your spirit so I can help serve others in a beautiful way. I pray this month overflows with abundant joy, peace, happiness, and blessings. Let blessings fall not just on me, but all of my family and friends. Guide all of our steps, amplify our dreams, and let your favor rain down from heaven. Keep me anchored in faith and dependence on you, making much of your name in all that I am and all that I do.
In Jesus name,
Amen🙏
“Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain.”

Dear God,
As I reflect this day and this weekend, I want to say Thank you for caring so deeply for me. I surrender all my worries and fears into Your hands. Teach me to trust in Your perfect timing and to faithfully trust your promises to be delivered into my story! May this weekend be a time of rejuvenation for my mind, body, and soul. Lead me to find joy in the little things and to appreciate the beauty of Your creation around me. Let this day be filled with moments of reflection, gratitude, and connection with those I love. God, I want more and more of you…Holy Spirit come, in the name of Jesus!
In Jesus Name,
Amen 🙏
“And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.”
- 2 Corinthians 9:8
Anxiety grows when we carry burdens God never intended us to carry alone. Prayer is the invitation to place every concern into His hands and trust Him with what we cannot control. When we bring our worries to God with a thankful heart, His peace guards ours.
There's not a Christian alive who hasn't felt this at some point.
There is profound wisdom in Proverbs 24: 16. Being made righteous in Christ does not mean that you stop falling down... it's about what you do right after 🙌
“I was running out of miracles, but then I met You.”
We picture miracles as dramatic and out-of-nowhere. But most of the time, a miracle is just a person-someone who shows up and loves right when you need it most.
A coach who believed in you.
A friend who checked in.
A leader who noticed.
Today, there are people all around you that are running out of miracles. They’ve lost hope. They’ve lost belief. They’ve lost faith.
You are the one they’re waiting to meet-not through some grand gesture, but through the faithful way you choose to love and serve them.
Be someone’s miracle today.
