It's Not About Me...


Intimacy

As I've been stepping up into greater levels of trust with the Lord, He's been encouraging me to show up and serve in a different way lately: INTIMACY⁠⠀
⁠⠀
= in.to.me.you.see.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I don't care to be "Well-Known"....⁠⠀
I'd prefer to be KNOWN-WELL. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Don't we all?⁠⠀
Deep down, yes. This is a deep inner heart need we all have...but here's what I've observed...⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The spirit of fear and the conditions of our culture have us filtering, pretending, striving, exhausted...there's an identity crisis happening. Constantly looking around us to gauge if we're measuring up...under the weight of pressure to present ourselves all polished and pretty, right?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Well...I want to rip open reality and have us bask in the glory of our identity in Christ alone once again. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And I'll start with me. ⁠⠀
MASK-OFF. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Wanna join me on this courageous journey and find FREEDOM from the pressures of personal presentation? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
LET'S. DO. THIS. ⁠


If it's not about ME...then what's this all about?⁠⠀

1. Loving God with all my heart, soul + mind.⁠⠀
2. Loving others as myself.⁠⠀
{The Greatest Commandment - Matthew 22:36-40} ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
How many other people out there want to love God and serve His people? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I know celebrity christiandom is modeling a culture of striving for spotlight...but what if we took a moment to take our eyes off "them" and instead looked to Jesus and asked, "Hey, Jesus...whatcha doin'? How can I partner with you today to bring life, hope and love to those you place in my path today?" ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Or here's another:⁠⠀
"Hey Jesus, what do you think of what we've made of the modern church?....Will you show me what Your Kingdom priorities are and how I can align with Your vision in this time?" ----That's a risky question...He may share some things you weren't prepared for! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Who else wants to #MAKEMUCHOFJESUS outside the confines and spotlights of modern churchianity? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀


It's TIME. ⁠

Time to arise and shine the light of His glory into every crack and crevice of this earth.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
THIS is YOUR invitation....⁠⠀
Let's do this in alignment with Jesus and the times we're in...let's get creative...think outside the box...get out of the seats and into the streets...after all, we're given the mind of Christ, right...let's study how He did things during His 33ish beautiful, precious years walking the earth...let's try that! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If this speaks to you in any way....get @me! ⁠⠀

Maybe God is putting someone on your heart that could really be blessed with this…would you consider forwarding this link off to them and encouraging them to book a time with me? I’d be truly grateful!
