For many years, our focus at Faith Family Community Church was on revitalization—cleaning up our property, restoring our building, and healing our hearts. But as God began to breathe new life into our congregation, He also began to stretch our vision. We realized that a healthy church doesn't just grow larger; it grows to a point where it can reproduce. In the book of Acts, Paul was focused on his own region until God gave him a vision that changed everything. Paul didn't hesitate; he moved from a mindset of addition to a mindset of multiplication.  Read More

When my family arrived at Faith Family Community Church in August 2017, the pews were quiet. On any given Sunday, there were only a handful of children in attendance. Contrast that with a recent Sunday morning: as I stood in the foyer between services, the building was humming with the energy of boys and girls everywhere. It was a beautiful, tangible reminder of how radically God has shifted the dynamics of our church!  Read More

In March 2017, my family visited three churches in four days—two in Florida and one in North Carolina—as I interviewed for pastoral positions. One of those stops was Faith Family Community Church.  Read More

In the rhythm of our daily lives, we often find ourselves gripping our resources tightly, fearing there won’t be enough for the "what-ifs" of tomorrow. Yet, God offers a radical alternative through the tithe. To "tithe" literally means a "tenth." It is the practice of setting aside the first 10% of our income as an offering to God. It isn't about giving God what is "left over" after the bills are paid; it is about giving Him our first and our best.  Read More

In the quiet of the morning, imagine standing before a vast, fog-covered valley. You cannot see the path ahead, yet you are told to walk. This is the threshold of the Christian life. According to Hebrews 11:6, "without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."  Read More

Whether you are working hard or intentionally resting, the goal is the same: stay within the word of God. Today, ask yourself: Am I hoarding out of fear, or am I resting in His promise? Both work and rest are holy when they are done in obedience to the Provider.  Read More

When the people cried out at Marah, God didn’t tell Moses to dig a new well; He pointed to a tree. When that tree was cast into the bitter waters, they became sweet.  Read More

Your most powerful legacy moments often come out of your seasons of greatest challenge. The "stones" you carry today might be a financial breakthrough after months of lack, a restored marriage after a season of silence or pain, or a sense of peace during a health crisis. When you follow God’s lead with faithful obedience in the middle of the river, you are literally mining the materials for your next memorial.  Read More

In Joshua chapter three, the Israelites stood at the edge of a transition that felt impossible. Ahead lay the Jordan River, cresting its banks at flood stage, and beyond it, a land filled with fortified cities and formidable enemies. In the days and months ahead they would leave behind the familiar rhythm of the last forty years in the wilderness, the manna from heaven and the many miracles that they had witnessed. They were embarking on a new mission, filled with challenges and battles that they had never experienced. In this moment of tension, Joshua calls the assembly together not to strategize, but to listen.  Read More

It is late in the evening during Holy Week. Jesus and His disciples have just finished the Last Supper and walked to a grove of olive trees called Gethsemane. The air is heavy; Jesus knows that within hours, He will be betrayed, arrested, and sent toward the cross.  Read More

In Job 23:8–9, we find Job in a state of spiritual disorientation. He looks forward, backward, to the left, and to the right, yet he cannot find a visible trace of God. Have you ever felt that "holy silence"?  Read More

The echoes of celebration had barely faded. Behind the children of Israel lay centuries of bondage and the miraculous display of the ten plagues. They had walked out of Egypt with silver, gold, and the taste of freedom. But as the dust settled, the geography changed. According to Exodus 14:3, Pharaoh observed their route and concluded, "They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in."  Read More
