Breathed Into Motion
Breathed Into Motion You weren’t just saved. You were stirred. Sometimes we treat the Holy Spirit like a recharge station—something we dip into when we’re low. But Pentecost wasn’t a moment of spiritual top-up. It was a divine ignition. In this week’s Catch the Wind message, we explored what it means to be stirred by the Spirit—not for show, but for go. You were breathed into motion for a reason. The same Spirit that hovered over creation now dwells in…
Gifted To Go
Gifted to Go You weren’t just filled — you were sent. There’s a reason the Holy Spirit showed up in a windstorm. Acts 2 reminds us that the Spirit doesn’t come quietly to stay still — He comes to fill, to move, to send. This week I talked about the difference between natural abilities and spiritual gifts. One you’re born with. The other you’re reborn with. Spiritual gifts aren’t just personality perks. They’re power tools. And they’re not given for…
What we notice gives us permission to nurture.
Don’t Just Track It—Touch It: Turning Touchpoints into Discipleship Moments Post Body: “Touchpoints aren’t the target—they’re the trigger.”(Excerpt from Craig Smee’s upcoming book, The Intentional Church Team) In ministry, we’re surrounded by data. Check-ins. Comments. Likes. Attendance. Text replies. These aren’t bad things—they’re helpful indicators that someone is still circling the runway of your ministry. But here’s the truth we can’t afford to forget: What we notice gives us permission to nurture. A parent checking in kids for the third…
The Winds of Change
The Winds of Change: How the Holy Spirit Moves Us Forward When we talk about the Holy Spirit, we often think of fire, power, and Pentecost—but we don’t always think about change. And yet, in Week 4 of the Catch the Wind series, we were reminded that one of the most consistent ways the Spirit moves is by stirring up change in our lives. Not just external change. Not just circumstantial adjustments. We’re talking about the kind of transformation that…
Movement, Momentum, and the Messy Middle
Catching the Wind: Movement, Momentum, and the Messy Middle We love mountaintop moments with God. When the Spirit rushes in like wind and fire, it’s easy to believe we’re being moved. But what about Tuesday afternoon? What about the long stretch of “normal”? That’s where most of us live—and it’s exactly where the Holy Spirit wants to meet us. In Part 3 of Catch the Wind, we leaned hard into this truth: movement in the Spirit isn’t reserved for revival…
Living Spirit-Led
Catching the Wind: Embracing the Power of the Holy Spirit In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel like we’re constantly rowing against the current, exhausting ourselves in pursuit of spiritual growth and purpose. But what if there was a better way? What if, instead of striving in our own strength, we could harness a power far greater than ourselves? This is the essence of “catching the wind” – learning to live by the power of the Holy Spirit rather…
Aligning Decisions with Jesus’ Values for Abundant Living
Aligning Decisions with Jesus’ Values for Abundant Living In our journey of decision-making, it’s crucial to not only make the right decisions but to follow through with them. Often, we find ourselves making decisions that align with our values, yet we fail to act on them, rendering those decisions ineffective. This series is about moving from decision to outcome, overcoming obstacles, and aligning our choices with the values of Jesus. Jesus exemplified this by making a decision to redeem humanity…
Take Your Life Back
With God’s help, we will determine our course of action before the moment of decision. Thinking like Jesus involves making decisions as He did—unwavering and purpose-driven. Circumstances never influenced His pre-decided convictions. He remained resolute in fulfilling His mission. And so can you! To be truly determined, one must first understand their capabilities and values. Just as one wouldn’t attempt to carry a heavy table without first assessing their strength, we must know who we are and what we stand…
