For anyone who has committed to a local church but never felt connected, I want to help you. The reason some never experience deep relationships is because the interaction is never pursued outside the weekly gathering. You can’t connect through 1 hour a week. It’s time to go the 2nd mile in committing to intentional checkups.

Sometimes the hardest part of preaching isn’t what to say, but how to pace it. I want to share why we’re about to begin a two-and-a-half-year walk through the Gospel of Luke, and why I think it’s time to go the second mile in letting God’s Word set the pace.
Preaching is sacred, but the weekly grind can drain joy and focus. Planning ahead creates space for deeper study, greater creativity, and better shepherding.
Self-control isn’t about sheer willpower—it’s about Spirit-empowered restraint. It’s the ability to say “no” to temptation and “yes” to what honors God, even when no one’s watching. In a world that chases every impulse, self-control helps us follow Christ instead.
Gentleness isn’t weakness—it’s strength under control. In a loud and harsh world, gentleness is the quiet strength that heals wounds, opens hearts, and reflects Jesus.
Faithfulness is rare in a world driven by trends and convenience. But God isn’t looking for flashy—He’s looking for faithful. Steady. Loyal. Committed. The kind of person who shows up, keeps their word, and finishes well.
Goodness isn’t about being nice—it’s about doing what’s right. When the world bends the truth and applauds compromise, goodness stands firm. It’s courage rooted in conviction.
It’s time to go the second mile in displaying goodness.
