Stop Telling Everyone "I'm Fine" (The Challenge)
God doesn't want your "customer service voice." 📞 He doesn't want the fake smile you give the cashier. He wants the real you—the broken you, the angry you. In this video, I’m challenging you to drop the mask. Your pain is not a mistake; it’s a signal that you are alive in a broken world. You can't get to the table prepared for you (Psalm 23) if you refuse to walk through the valley. 👇 The Challenge: This week, when someone asks "How are you?", do not say "I'm fine." Tell the truth. Even if it's just, "It's been a rough week." Drop the mask and see what happens.
God Didn’t Call Him Lazy (He Gave Him a Snack)
Sometimes, you aren't lazy. You are empty. 📉 I know people will say, "But Michael, I have depression," or "I'm burnt out." I hear you, and so does the Bible. In this video, we look at 1 Kings 19 and the story of Prophet Elijah. After fighting battles and outrunning chariots, he crashed under a broom tree and wanted to give up. Watch how God responded: He didn't send a lecture on laziness. He sent an angel with a snack and a nap. 🍞💤 The crucial difference: • Rest is refueling so you can get back in the fight (Restoration). • Rot is eating snacks and napping to avoid the fight forever (Escape). Elijah didn't build a house under that tree. He rested, then he moved on. Which one are you doing today? 👇 Discussion: Be honest: Are you in a season of "Broom Tree" rest, or have you slipped into avoidance/rot? Let me know in the comments.
