Our Mission

A transparent marriage is a devotional ministry that was birthed out of gratitude to our Lord and Savior. By His grace we are saved and if you invite Him into your life He will do the same for you.

Servant

Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.”

John‬ ‭15‬:‭20‬ ‭

Are you a servant? In today's world being called a servant has a bad connotation but in the Bible it shows up as a guide to following our Lord and Savior. 

The outside world will not give credit to anything to do with Jesus because they believe their own effort and strength is what made them successful.  We are not only followers but servants, we know that anything done for the Kingdom is to bring him glory.  Every time we do a good deed a little piece of heaven breaks forth onto the earth and for that the outside world persecutes us as believers.

Persecution is always overcome with perseverance. To try no matter the challenges of this world to keep moving towards a goal where everyone not only hears the gospel but is transformed.

Father, I ask you to give us strength in these trying times where nonbelievers come to see what we have seen. The truth the way and the life that Jesus brings.

Belonging

"If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭19‬ ‭

In today's world many people seek to belong to something. From youths joining gangs to individuals joining unions or professional organizations. They are motivated to belong to something they are lacking. It is common to be part of organizations in our society but the minute you become a Christian and join the family of Christ things and people change. 

That title of a Christian in Acts 11 started as a derogatory term. The world looked at them negatively by both Jews and Pagans.  From the beginning of Christianity there was always pressure and prejudice of the teachings of Jesus. We all called not to conform but to be the change. We are called to be the light when there is so much darkness. We are called to bring flavor to the blandness of the world.  We are called to be one not because we are better but because the one we follow shows us through unity we can achieve world changing assignments.

Each one of us was chosen to bring our talents to the body to help it grow. So when the pressure of the world weighs heavy, remember we are not of this world but of a future world that is waiting for us all as believers.

May God continue to bless you when the world condemns you.

What are you reproducing?

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I invite you to start looking at your life as a branch. Being the branch between Jesus and community, Jesus and your family, Jesus and your co-workers, Jesus and strangers, you get the point right?

In a  podcast Charles Stanley stated this: “But a New Testament disciple is one who has accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, who has yielded to Jesus Christ as Lord, and who, listen, accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, you've done that, yielded to Jesus Christ as Lord, I certainly hope you've done that, and through whom Jesus Christ is reproducing his life in the life of another.”

Be encouraged  to reflect on what  you are reproducing? Is the fruit reproducing Jesus? What fruit are you bearing? How is the condition of your branch? Did you know that If damage is relatively slight, you can prune broken branches, repair torn bark or rough edges around the wounds and let the tree begin to repair itself. That is how our relationship with Jesus is, He knows were are not perfect and come with lots of damage but what an amazing feeling to know He abides in us. Now be encouraged to go and let Jesus continue reproducing 

To Abide

 


“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.” John‬ ‭15‬:‭6‬ ‭


According to Merriam-Webster, the word abide has multiple meanings: 


  • To tolerate or endure: To bear patiently, withstand, or tolerate something 
  • To wait for: To await something 
  • To accept without objection: To acquiesce in or accept something without objection 
  • To remain stable: To remain fixed or stable in a state 
  • To continue in a place: To sojourn or continue in a place 
  • To conform to: To abide by something means to conform to or obey a rule

It has been written that to "abide in Christ" means to maintain a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ, where one stays connected to Him through faith, prayer, scripture reading, and obedience. Can you imagine the level of discipline it takes to trust, have dependence, and intimacy, reflecting a life that is continuously influenced by His teachings and Spirit? 


Abiding involves living in true harmony with God's will, to allow His love and guidance to flow through your life which leads to spiritual growth and transformation in your life. 


While free will allows us a daily choice to abide in him or not.  The big picture is very simple, eternal life or eternal punishment its what’s at stake, that’s the reality. Yet, even though we continue to grow spiritually we don't  fully understand the magnitude of what is required of us.


Are you really ready and willing to:

tolerate 

endure

wait

accept

remain 

conform to Christ? 

Forgiven and Forgiving




Forgiveness doesn’t mean we automatically reestablish the relationship with someone who hurt or abused us.  God may actually want them far away from you but in order to experience true freedom we must forgive as God has forgiven us.

Are you struggling with or have struggled forgiving?  We all have, but do you understand how this is hindering your relationship with God?  You are being robbed of freedom, peace and joy.  You are truly letting someone rent space in your mind and life for free while they continue enjoying life and remain miserable. 
This is an area definitely hard to overcome.  Of course it's hard to forgive and for an ex spouse. It's hard to forgive and pray for someone that screws you financially.  It's hard to forgive and pray for a mother or a father who left you.  And it is  hard to forgive and pray for people that you know talk about you but in order to find freedom we need to learn how to let go and let God, we need to learn to submit to what God instructs us to do.  We must little by little continue building that spiritual muscle.  

We can start by studying the word, especially the book of Matthew and by investing in personal development resources.  When you intentionally take the words you read in the Bible and truly believe that God does reward those who forgive others with his own forgiveness we learn to let him fight our battles.   When we follow the teaching of Mark 11 you then learn to experience true freedom and make room to hear from your heavenly father directly.  Go to him as a friend, confess and pray to do better.  Be honest with him, he knows you are human and it takes time to peel off years of hurt and abuse that only by having a personal relationship with him can help restore you.

We live in a world now where it's hard to say no to distractions of the flesh especially with social media and google making it so easy to stalk those who hurt you.  It is easier than ever to feed the flesh and the enemy knows that, but you must be intentional  and disciplined in order to starve that desire and this can only be done by feeding on the word to drive out unforgiveness and  make room to hear God's voice.

Whom shall I send?

 In the Bible there are amazing stories of God choosing a person to bring his message. Abraham, Moses, Gideon, David, Peter and many more. Each one in the natural unqualified; but when God spoke they listened and chose to follow his orders.

Fear and adversity had given way to obedience and courage. What thing in your life are you afraid to confront? The Bible says “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.Joshua 1:9 NIV

God doesn’t say it’s a suggestion, it’s a command. His word is a reminder that we are his children and as a loving father, he gives us the confidence by telling us he is with us no matter how the odds look. Our Father rules the natural and unnatural.

Be strong and courageous my brothers and sisters for no challenge we face is too big for our Father to help us face.


Fine Line

There is a  fine line between having grace and your human free will.  While grace allows you to forgive, free will allows for the enemy to come in and take advantage of an opportunity for you to follow through you most darkest of tendencies especially when you are hurt by people who swear to love and respect you.

This is a constant battle for a believer, one of deciding when to extend grace to people who take advantage of your trust, transparency, dedication and your love. 


You may find yourself holding on, having faith, choosing to see the best in them before they even see it, choosing to see them live out the God given purpose set before them, although they don’t deserve your grace all the while internally fighting a secret battle.  


The struggle of human free will to look at the big picture set before you and see that some people aren’t deserving of your gift of grace, to have to struggle with discerning which way to turn is the biggest challenge for a believer, especially those in a marriage.  


Sometimes you can miss  the enemy’s plan as he plants subtle seeds, waters them and waits for the right time to go in for the harvest.  He patiently invests his  time challenging your faith and God's promises over your marriage in order to test  God's covering  before you even realize that is taking place. 


So what do you do then?  

Free will says: 

give up

you deserve better

they will do it again

you cant believe a word they said

they will never change

plan your revenge


Grace says:

I forgive because Jesus lives in my heart.


Regardless of how you see it, grace is allowing "what would Jesus do" moments to take place, practicing what our Savior taught us.


Even Paul struggled, "Lord, why do I do these things which I do not want to do".  Its okay to find yourself in a place where like Paul, you struggle with the flesh, maybe you want to take revenge, allow the offense to destroy the life you built together and let pride cloud your desire to gracefully forgive. 


We have all been there,  so ask yourself, which  will give your soul peace, that peace that surpasses all understanding. You have free will to choose faith and grace or to let the enemy win the battle he crafted to kill your union, steal your future and destroy your purpose.









Walking the walk

As christians  we know that men and women of God can fall because the only one that was sinless was Jesus.  We put faith that those we follow as our pastors get up every morning to fight an enemy that is well aware of their weaknesses which we know nothing about. 

If you are blessed to get fed weekly from a pulpit remember to remove that man or woman  and focus on the message not the messenger.  Stop glamorizing these flawed humans, stop being a groupy and a cheerleader about their life.  Focus on the word not the man.


While these men and women are trusted into ministry and we all hold them at a high standard yes, but they are not Jesus, the enemy will continue to prey on them because he knows that is the quickest way to discourage both new and seasoned believers. Yes, moral failure needs to be exposed because we serve a God of excellence but please stop making your religious walk about church clicks and glamorize those in leadership, make it about the word instead so that when you hear about these things you are able to separate the two without affecting your walk and allowing the enemy to use those situations from discouraging you and your family from the spiritual walk ahead of you.

Fight the Fight

Some people are meant to stay in your life forever pouring into you and you onto them and some just for seasons.

When God allows people to distance themselves from your life see it as a way of protection,  not everyone has your best interests at heart.  Some go away all on their own because your light shines so bright it disrupts their darkness, others hang around while secretly envy everything about you hoping to one day celebrate your downfall, we see it in families,  friend groups, co-workers and even church folk. 

Stay vigilant, stay prayed up, ask God to show you who are the true prayer warriors in your life and to discern which are not. The enemy doesn’t like when you put your armor on, when you seek out true prayer warriors or when you call him for who he is, The Accuser.  This accuser is always lurking around with his own little petty army using people in your life who are willing vessels to do his work.   Ask God to give you eyes to see and ears to hear  what he wants to show you so that you can be prepared for battle.

Spend time being vigilant and aware of people that are quick to back stab, envy and who find joy when times get rough. This type of hypocrisy is sickening and it is hurtful, especially coming from a loved one, but we have to remember that they are not the enemy, the enemy is real,  he comes to kill, steal and destroy what God has united.  This enemy is after our families but we have authority in the name of Jesus by His blood we are covered from these attacks and already have victory.

Own it!

What will you hear?

 “And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony”


Do you realize you have a powerful testimony without all the theatrics and foolery you continue to post?

Take off the mask and lay off this sick need to get praise from man, titles and recognition and seek praise from your creator instead by truly sharing the gospel to save souls and create disciplines.

God promises to take you from glory to glory.  You see, unlike the praise you get from man which is temporary, God’s eternal. 

If you are satisfied living in such a way keep it up!  When your final act is called,  will God say “well done” or “who are you whose works I do not know?”

Broken Beautiful




The other day there was an issue that came up and for some reason I remembered this famous mother goose poem. 

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

As a man we bear the responsibility to make our wives feel that we are their security. Security and trust in a relationship is the glue that holds everything together. 
What happens when we fail and fall? 
As men we try not to hurt or spouses by saying little lies that we believe will have no consequences but that is so far from the truth. 
Our words have repercussion and just like the little rhyme says they couldn’t put humpty back together again. I know what you’re thinking it’s a little extreme but understand once that trust is shattered you might put it back together but it will never be the same as brand new. 
So I challenge you to be mindful of your answers. A simple lie can steal the security of your wife. 
 Many long marriages have cracks but they continue in perfect imperfection because there is a belief that together they can handle what ever the issue is. It’s in the cracks that we can look back and admire the marriages that have weathered the storms. 
My brothers in Christ renew your mind everyday and cherish what God has given to you especially your wives. 
Humpty couldn’t be put back together by all the king’s men but we know it’s the King of Kings that we serve and no matter how broken we are HE can put it back together for his purpose again. 

Peace 

“This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
Romans 3:22-23 NIV

Kingdom men prayer

Heavenly Father I pray for Kingdom men to step into the gap for our children.

I call on real men to be shoulder to shoulder, to be the priest of their homes. To be the watchmen at the gates of their homes. To stop the influence of social media, fake media and even real media.
To stand against the woke culture of this day. To bring a Godly perspective from our local, state and Federal governments where as men, we stop the nonsense of what a man and a woman is. To bring real solutions to real world problems. I pray for those brothers that serve who suffer from PTSD alone.

I pray for the peacemakers not only in our homes but in the world where the drums beat for war.
I pray for our children children’s and that seeds that we plant in their hearts today will give fruit for each generations
I pray all this in Jesus name.

Hospital, Family, Army

Hospital, Family, Army.

A church is a hospital. hospitals are places where people go to get better and seek professional life saving advice. A church is a hospital for sinners not a club of the righteous. Yet we as Christians sometimes forget that. We the church must elevate our thoughts of what a church is and apply the hospital definition in every way, from giving advice to sharing compassion that goes above and beyond all understanding. The church should be family. A place where restoration and compassion brings closer connections to friendships. As a family we must keep confidential issues confidential. There are times gossip can ruin trust not only at an individual level but at a church level.


How many times have you heard the phrase ”have you heard"? It’s those time we must capture ourselves and be honest in our hearts not to repeat confidential information. When we have a family that is moving in the same direction then it turns into an Army. Last but definitely not least is the Army of the church. By restoration and trust in family mobilizing in one accord it becomes an Army.  The Army of the church moves on a common goal. It shares in the wins and the losses for the Kingdom. It’s the sound of thousands that can be heard when they March in single step.  The Army shares the gospel. The Army’s voice is heard not only by sharing the gospel but by standing for what is right. The Army boycotts and brings ungodly institutions to its financial knees. 

As a member of the Army of God we fly the kingdom flag wherever we go. Where we work we open a base. In our home we open a base where we shop we open a base. Where our children attend school we open a base. It’s our duty to open bases of the kingdom wherever we go.  We are millions around the world. Imagine if we all were in step not only in one house of worship but with all the Churches. Imagine who can be against us if we in fact mobilized As One.

He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!” Hezekiah’s words greatly encouraged the people.”

Adams where are you?


A couple weeks ago one of our pastors was preaching and he asked a simple question during the sermon. Adam where are you?
He spoke how God was cutoff from seeing his children. Sin had come between them. It was at that moment they were cast out of Eden.
I’ve been waking up with same questions for a couple nights now and this morning as I write this the sun hasn’t come up yet.
We as men are the “ Adam’s “ of the world.
So I’ve been tasked with asking.

Adam’s where are you?
Where are you when we see social media being a tool of division than uniting us? We are like mice in a laboratory. The algorithm feeds us our wants and desires to keep us happy for hours on our phones. We are addicted to information to the point we miss out to much of what’s going on around us.

Adam’s where are you?
When the Gospel of love is being hijacked By the Lgbtq community to allow Gay pastors on the pulpit and Gay people in position of power within churches because we as men are told not to ask. Jesus is the prophet of love but He also said it simply “go and sin no more.” Are we not called to be salt in our society of blandness? Do we sit idly by seeing how our houses of worship are Lukewarm by being so all inclusive that we would rather fill seats than share the message of sin and redemption. Getting back to the basics of what sin is will go a long way of not letting it hide in plain sight.

Adam’s where are you?
During this conflict in Isreal. Do you chant the slogan from the river to the sea or do you stay quiet? Do you pray for Israelis and Palestinians equally knowing that war only brings pain to the innocent. Do you support terrorist or freedom fighters? Do you believe in the right of self defense and to live in peace? As for one who made a pilgrimage to the Holy land I can attest very few there realize how Holy that land really is. If they did they wouldn’t send thousand of rockets over the skies of Israel.

Adam’s where are you?
When we see antisemitic protests. Do we know where the root of antisemitism comes from? The fact is antisemitism was born out of the church during forced conversions.
From the inquisition to the crusades even to the expelling from countries our Christian forefathers have much Jewish blood on their hands in the name of the faith.
A past lie that was repeated throughout history was that the Jews killed Jesus. Yet forgetting that Jesus himself could have called legions of Angels to his side for protection. He went willingly to the cross as the sacrificial lamb.
We must as Christians know that past history as to never repeat it.

Adam’s where are you?
Do you share with your closest people your internal struggles. The dark hidden pain that trauma has made you forget. A pain that when if it were to come out into the light you would feel embarrassed. We must remember we have brothers in arms that will stand in the gap giving good counsel even when we fall there will always be hands to lift you up.

Adam’s where are you?
Have you as a child of God identified your generational curses? As a father and priest of your house have you identified from both your lineages the wrongs of your ancestors? Adultery, lying, cheating , stealing, addictions anger, envy. A good father leaves an inheritance. What inheritance will you pass on that is good for your future generations.

Adam’s where are you?
In these turbulent times where right is wrong and wrong is right. Where do you stand with a man identifying as a woman to play woman sports. Where do you stand with society telling us not to offend anybody by calling people pronouns. By blurring the lines of what man and woman is we are allowing people to believe they are God. That by identifying other than what you where born as you are saying God made a mistake.

Adam’s it’s time we not only ask the hard questions but seek the hard answers. Will we as the Adam’s of the world continue to stand idly by as the Apple is passed around?
Adam’s wake up for there are many battlefields that await us.
Which field will you you be willing to fight on?

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.””
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Leaning on Him

We often show our best to many people, we show what we want them to see. Many men have a self image particularly of being strong. We forget how our  true strength come from Jesus.  A strength that surpasses all understanding. When we are weak He is strong.

What is a strong man ?
A strong man has strong values.
A strong man has integrity.
A strong man is surrounded by other strong men who will hold him accountable for his action.
A strong man never gives his word without counting the cost.
A strong man puts Gods word into action.
A strong man gives his strength to his children by being consistent in discipline not by violence but by the word of God.
A strong man knows that God is the provider of all.
A strong man submits to his Lord and savior by checking his heart and actions everyday.

Now comes the hard part.
Are you a strong man?


“In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭3‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬

A Relationship Mansion

  

Every now and again I’ll look up a house app and dream like I believe many do by looking at mansions.  My mother has a saying for years I heard growing up “ Dreaming don’t cost a thing”  


I honestly believe dreams and praying for something opens the door for God to help you find your purpose.  While dreaming, I started wondering,  do I buy a run down house in a rich neighborhood or do I buy a really big house in a not so good neighborhood?  I saw myself in front of a small house and my wife came to mind. I felt the Holy Spirit show me a before and after of what a small house started as and then a mega mansion with all these addition added onto it. 


I thought of how a small house is the perfect analogy for a new relationship. When you start off, the house is small but as you continue to make memories throughout your lifetime a room is added each time.  When you ride your bike together, an addition is added.  When you go canoeing, an addition is added. When you cook together, another room, 

When you go on vacation, a room is added.  You see, by spending time with your spouse you begin to slowly make your relationship a mansion.  The comical thing about this dream is that only when you stop to reflect and look at your past memories do you really see how big your small house turned into a mansion. 


What house have you built with your spouse?  Can you sit down and write down at least a hundred memories of what you and your spouse have done together throughout the years?  If not why?  If you can’t write down the memories, then you still a chance to have starting point into building your dream home. 


“They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭48‬ ‭NIV‬‬


Full Transparency

We read in the Bible about walking through the valley and fighting battles and we are also assured that Jesus is with us every step of the way.  If we know Jesus walks with us through the storms we face in this lifetime, we also understand that they have a pruning effect on us.  Through struggles we learn how much we need Jesus.  What if we change our perspective and learn to fall in love with our struggle instead of dwelling on how bad the situation looks to the human eye?  If we identify that the enemy is attacking us because we matter,  we can then own the power of our struggle!

Pastor Michael Bulkley from Kingdom Life Church in Milford, Ct said it best during one of his many sermons  in 2017  "Not all truths are meant to be shared with everybody, but they are meant to be shared with somebody.  If you keep your stuff, it can never be used to help someone else".  So many marriages end in divorce because they simply faced struggles alone.  They spend years putting on a mask, keeping up with the Jones' while behind closed doors their marriage was dying more and more each day.  How many of these marriages could have been saved if they had just trusted someone enough to help them sort out the issues before they became so unbearable ending in divorce? It is no different than someone who seeks professional help for anxiety, you sit with a professional, discuss your triggers, and they send you home with coping skills or if needed some medications to take the edge off.   Why is it so hard for us to find help to save our marriage when there are thousands of tools to help us to prevent it from  ending in divorce? 

One common factor is the lack of transparency fueled by pride.  We get married, post on social media portraying a perfect family and refuse to admit to anyone when we are hurting because we either have too much pride to ask for help or are too concerned about what others think of us.  This is exactly where the enemy wants you, alone and isolated.  Instead, if we learn to surrender  by making ourselves vulnerable enough to share our struggles with others and choose to go to God for wisdom, He extends a grace and a freedom that helps you grow and understand that there is power in your struggle.  Your struggle is not for you, it is to help others get free and to give God the glory. 

When you share your story, it opens the door for God to move and help others but you have to keep your motives in check.  Ask yourself, are you trying to belittle your spouse or are you truly seeking to repair your marriage by defeating the enemy to  grow stronger together? Know that struggles never end for believers.  When you choose to give God the glory over everything you endure, He will  put the right people in place to lift you up, the right people for you to confide in and will walk with you through the struggles.  Find your tribe, ask God to reveal those people who truly need to be in your inner circle and those who don't belong. Not everyone deserves your trust, ask God for discernment to see who is genuine. If you want our testimony be a blessing for others you have allow your transparent brokenness to be used by God.   Be encouraged to pray for God to cover your marriage and submit to the Holy Spirit and each other every day and you will surely experience a peace that surpasses all understanding.


For when I am weak, then I am strong 2 Corinthians 12:10

Faith will be tested


Faith will be tested, hope will be tried and love will be strained.

If we know Jesus went through all this, then how dare we complain about our everyday problems?
Courage comes in many forms.  Sometimes it comes as an act of selfishness without thinking about it but many times it comes from facing your fears head on.  The battle of the mind is where it begins.
That’s when the Lord shows up. He said to be strong and courageous many times in the Bible.
Even Jesus won his mind battle the night before ever stepping onto the cross.


“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Colossians 3:2 

So when difficulties come, remember through testing comes pruning. 

The Marriage Creed



This is my wife.  There are many like her, but this one is mine. She is my life.  I must respect her as I must respect my life. Without me my wife is breathless, without my wife I am breathless.  I must trust my wife is true.  I must speak straighter than the enemy who is trying to fool me.  I must stop it before it tempts me.  I will. 

My wife and I know that what counts in war is not the arguments we have, the noise of our outbursts, or the excuses we make.  We know that it is the solutions that count.  We will resolve. 

My wife is human, even as I am human.  Because she is my life, thus, I will learn to hear her.  I will learn her weaknesses, her strengths, her past,  and keep her sights on our common goals.  I will keep my wife clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready.  We have become part of each other.

Before God I swear this creed.  My wife and I are the defenders of our home.  We are the masters of our home.  We are the saviors of our family.  So be it, until victory is ours and there is no enemy that can stand against us.  As we fight for our marriage as one!

Do not conform

How many times something has gotten you out of your comfort zone or better yet someone got you upset?
In Romans 12.2 it says:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

It begins by "do not conform". How many times do you conform with your attitude?How many patterns do you repeat before you realize it’s all in your mind?
Anger, depression, guilt, fear are all tools the enemy uses to keep you stuck and it stops you from living up to your God given potential.

So, how do you renew your mind? Renewal comes from reading the word. The Bible gives real life examples of everyday people going through everyday issues. David had lust. Gideon had fear. Peter had shame. Jacob was a deceiver. Moses had a temper.
Each of them went on to be powerful men only after they were renewed with God’s help. Change comes from changing your perspective and believing that God will always make a way for you to conquer the little foxes in your mind.
