Thanks for the encouragement. I am having to confront someone again about their toxic behavior that is hurting our church. It is planned for today. This word is right on time.

Hey, Pastor, you've said before and in your ReLeafer book, that the song from Hillsong, "Oceans," really spoke to you in the moment of your calling.

I heard this song on Air1 radio station recently and it made me think of you and the "Oceans" song, I thought you'd enjoy this one as a sequel.... it really spoke to me,... it's a beautiful song of encouragement.

Good word. So many times I’ve been trapped by fear of making the wrong decision and allowed basic issues go too long. It took me years to practice being honest with myself and then taking action and having to trust God with the ramifications and/or the rejection.

YES, lets go for it!!

You hit me on a daredevil kinda day... ya know,... those kinda days where you just finished reading a boatload of God's promises, and about Moses, and Joshua, and David and Goliath, and Sharach, Meshach and Abednego, and Daniel in the lion's den..... then you've just left the gym where you left feeling strong and empowered.... yeah!! THAT kinda day, that's what I'm talkin' about!! With God, all things are possible!!

I am not a victim, I am a child of the LIVING GOD!

Just sayin'

This was very good dear friend. We are growing so fast in our church that with so many decisions to make, sometimes I take a long time to process what I am seeing before I make the decisions that need to be taken.

This was very helpful my friend.
