    On the Journey of Becoming

    We're all on a journey of becoming. Every season is shaping us. The only question is... who are we becoming? When life feels hard or uncertain, it's easy to find ourselves praying, "Lord... when is this going to change?" I've prayed that more times than I can count. But what if God is inviting us to ask a different question? What if this season isn't just about what you're going through... but about what God is growing in you? "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." - James 1:2-4 NKJV James reminds us that God doesn't waste our seasons. He uses them to grow our faith, deepen our trust, and make us more like Jesus. The season may not be easy, but it isn't empty. So here's the challenge for all of us this week: Instead of praying, "Lord, get me out," pray, "Lord, what are You growing in me?" Look for His presence before His answers. Take a moment each day to thank Him for where you see His goodness. Gratitude has a way of opening our eyes to His faithfulness and provision. Our prayer is that we would become people who continue to trust God more - not because life is always easy, but because we know His character. Let's keep trusting God in every season and becoming more like Jesus. For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

    The Three Dimensions of Favor

    This past Sunday we continued our conversation on favor and looked at one of the most fascinating verses in the life of Jesus: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." (Luke 2:52) For years I've read that verse and wondered: How does Jesus grow in favor with God if He is already fully loved by the Father? What emerged was a framework that has helped me think about favor in a deeper way. Covenant Favor reminds us who we are to God. We are loved, wanted, welcomed, and accepted. This favor is rooted in God's nature, not our performance. Formational Favor asks what God is doing in us. Throughout Scripture, favor often leads people into seasons of formation. Joseph, David, Moses, Mary, and even Jesus all experienced this reality. Favor didn't remove the process—it worked through it. Entrusted Favor asks what God is inviting us to carry. As we grow in wisdom, maturity, humility, and faithfulness, God entrusts us with greater responsibility, influence, and opportunity. The challenge is that many of us collapse all favor into one category. We assume bigger platforms, greater influence, or more visible success means more favor. But Scripture paints a different picture. The favor of God begins with belonging and often matures into entrustment. My prayer for all of us this week is that we would stay rooted in covenant favor—God's love and delight toward us—while remaining open to the formation and entrustment He has for our lives.
