The Journey of Becoming: Getting Unstuck in 2026

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 This past year, God has been speaking a consistent message: you are in process. You are appointed, anointed, and still becoming. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. As we reflect on the themes that emerged throughout 2025, we see God’s faithful hand guiding, shaping, and empowering His people for their next season.

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6

This past year, God has been speaking a consistent message: you are in process. You are appointed, anointed, and still becoming. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. As we reflect on the themes that emerged throughout 2025, we see God’s faithful hand guiding, shaping, and empowering His people for their next season.

As I sat with the Lord and we talked about last year and the coming year, I asked Him, “What are your people most concerned about in the coming year?” He said, “They are feeling stuck.”  This past year, many have experienced sudden shifts in their seasons. Doors that seemed certain have slammed shut. Financial provision that felt secure has been canceled. Relationships that appeared stable have fractured. Health challenges have emerged without warning. Dreams that seemed within reach have suddenly felt impossibly distant. He said, “My people, they don’t know how to move forward.”

When we feel stuck, we need to remember that God already has a plan for 2026.
Know this:

  • Your struggles are not meaningless
  • Your pain has a purpose
  • Your story matters
  • Your prayers are heard
  • Your breakthrough is coming
  • Your tears are counted
  • Your future is secure

“The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.” — Psalm 34:15.

When Thoughts Fall Like Rain: The Spirit Who Reveals

Have you ever experienced a sudden breakthrough in understanding—a moment when confusion lifted, and truth became clear? There are those moments when our thoughts fall like rain. It’s tempting to credit our own intellect or wisdom in these moments. But scripture reminds us of a humbling truth: genuine clarity comes from the Holy Spirit, the divine revealer. Jesus promised His disciples, “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth” (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit doesn’t just provide information; He illuminates our hearts and minds, revealing what we could never discover on our own. Paul Read More

Appointed, Anointed, and Still Becoming

There’s something profoundly humbling about realizing that who I am today isn’t who I was yesterday, and who I’ll be tomorrow is still being shaped by God’s faithful hands. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. Because of God’s grace, I’m becoming the person He’s appointed me to be. Scripture reminds us in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” This promise anchors my soul on difficult days when growth feels slow or impossible. God isn’t finished with me yet. Read More

Fireflies & Divine Revelation

Growing up in the country, I was privileged to see fireflies light up the night on a regular basis. They are quite beautiful to behold. As I watched them, I thought about how God’s Word is revealed to us and impacts our daily lives. Here is a lesson from the firefly. Fireflies Illuminate the Darkness—So Does Divine Revelation Fireflies shine brightest in the dark, offering a glimpse of light in otherwise shadowy places. Their glow stands out not because the environment is bright, but because it’s *not*. Divine revelation works the same. God’s truth often comes in the darkness—when we’re Read More

Dr. Martin L. King, Jr: Pursue Justice

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He lived according to the basic principles of goodness aligned with his faith. Here is a statement from his letter from the Birmingham jail that should encourage each of us to always seek to stamp out injustice whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.” The statement by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. resonates deeply with biblical principles of justice, interconnectedness, and love Read More
