7 things that are of massive importance to me:
-Sturdy relationship with Jesus that takes precedence above everything else
-Marrying a beautiful God fearing wife that makes me laugh harder than anyone else
-Optimal health
-Strong friendships with people I can trust with my life
-Having children that pray for each other and play outside until the sun goes down
-Strong relationship with my parents
-Building something amazing that genuinely helps people
Nothing else really matters to me.
Focus on your why, work hard, and it will come in God’s timing.🕊️
I was right. We’re getting married in less than 6 months and she told me a few days ago that she trusted and will follow me in the biggest risk I’ve ever taken to follow Christ and she feels peace knowing that I’m submitting to God. This is the biggest win I’ve ever had.
If I follow Christ and think I can lead myself by my own doing, then I am missing the point of the Gospel. Spiritual leadership is not to act in my own power and authority, it is to submit to the authority of Christ that God’s glory may be shown and I may be changed by His grace.
Having Christian brotherhood is one of the most important things you can have in your life. Not people pleasers, yes men, not men who say go off king when your life is leading to destruction. You need hard conversations that heal and remind you of the work of Christ.
If satan tempted Christ by misquoting the scriptures, then why would his same line of deception with believers not be to pervert the gospel for believers into something that we must achieve, as if Christ had not already completed a finished work? Salvation is a gift given freely.
The only way to find peace is realizing that nothing in life MUST go your way.
If you place your identity in Christ, you find that you avoid misery by missing expectations you set for yourself to achieve something unnecessary. Seek first the Kingdom of righteousness.
I encourage everyone to hold up their sales frameworks next to the Word of God
Ask Christ to reveal to you what is aligned and what is not
Uncomfortable but watch what happens
Christ renewing your mind is the only point
Adam sinned after the command of God
The law of Moses brought more transgressions as the sin of man was counted against the law
The gospel of Christ holds the mirror to say I will take on what you could not complete through the law
The beginning of testimony is at the end of when we lay down our ego thinking we must go and do for Jesus. And believing he can and has already done it. Where is the glory if we do it all on our own?
If as a follower of Christ, you are experiencing trials, uncertainty, suffering, etc. It is not to trap you in a spot until you learn what it means. It is simply you getting another opportunity to rely less on yourself and more on Him who has gone before us.

@fousey Following Christ does not make you a trillionaire it makes you a servant to others. He is not going to align your life in a way that brings you safety, glory, or success in the modern definition. He is going to give you peace that passes understanding and a mission to serve.
@fousey It’s because suffering is evidence of faith. Gods plan for you may be different than the plan you have for yourself. To live in Christ is to die to ourselves.
If your 2025 wasn't what you wanted it to be just remember that sometimes God wrecks your plans so that you don't end up wrecking yourself...
I have a feeling there's a silver lining waiting there for you my friend ❤️
You can absolutely immerse yourself so deep in ministry and monotony of life that you miss what Christ is doing in your life
You miss what parts of you He is waiting to transform if you pay Him the attention
Do not forget to take time and be in the Word and in prayer with Him
This is where you see anxiety come back, lack of faith, lack of hope, exhaustion, and ultimately lack of fruit
Can’t teach a subject you don’t know
Nothing is more important than knowing Jesus so you can be guided by His vision, not yours
