How do you prepare for your new season? When God whispers your name and tells you he’s moving you forward to a new season, what are you supposed to do? Do you immediately pack your bags, quit your job, or start telling people that you have changed your status? No. God is a God of structure. So how do you prepare to ‘pivot’? For me, it started as a period of rest. God said, “Stop what you are doing and take a period of rest.” He did not tell me how long; he just said, “Stop and rest.” So starting Read More

Planted with Purpose
Every seed must first be buried before it can grow. Beneath the soil, unseen and surrounded by darkness, transformation begins. What looks like the end is actually the beginning of new life. In the same way, our walk with Christ often begins in hidden places—times of surrender, humility, and even brokenness. Jesus said, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (John 12:24). Our spiritual growth starts when we die to our own desires, pride, and self-sufficiency, allowing God’s Word to take root deep within us. Read More
From Isolation to Invitation: The Gift of Gathering
Today’s message is a reminder that we should remain forever united. Psalm 133:1 states, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!” From Genesis to Revelation, God’s people are portrayed as a gathered people—united by faith, purpose, and love. Gathering is not just about showing up; it’s about showing who we belong to. When we gather, we reflect God’s heart for relationship and community. In the Garden of Eden, God walked with Adam in fellowship. In the wilderness, He gathered Israel around His presence in the tabernacle. In the New Testament, believers met Read More
It’s Time to Roar: A Call to Victory
I originally shared this message five years ago. This morning, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart: “My people are struggling. Share this word again and remind them of their identity and what I am preparing to do in their lives.” A Prophetic Word: ROAR Over the past few weeks, I’ve been hearing one word repeatedly from the Holy Spirit: ROAR. In every worship song, every sermon, every devotional—the theme of roaring kept appearing. After spending time in prayer and meditation on this word, God has released me to share what He’s been revealing. The time has come for God’s Read More
I Died More Than Once Today!
I must be completely honest. Sometimes, I really want to ‘clap back’ at certain people. Lately, it’s been a daily struggle. To ‘clap back’ at someone means to respond to criticism or an insult with a sharp, witty, and effective comeback. Yet I must remember what the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:31, “I die daily.” As I thought about this scripture, I decided I wanted to write a book entitled “I Died More Than Once Today.” The premise of the book is this: A transformative exploration of what it truly means to “die daily” as a follower of Read More
