When we talk about living a Christ-focused, Spirit-led life, Galatians 2:20 draws us to a key truth: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” This verse establishes the foundation for a life centered on surrender, guided by the Spirit, and committed to God’s greater plan.

How do we truly reflect this Christ-centered life in our day-to-day existence? Let’s explore what it means to live faithfully, recognizing God’s call to grow spiritually and lead others toward Him.

Have you ever wondered why forgiveness feels both so necessary and so impossible? If you’ve ever tried to hang on to old wounds or struggled to let go of a wrong, you’re in good company. In a recent Kingdom Builders gathering, this tension—and the wild, life-changing freedom that can break through when we surrender it to God—unpacked itself powerfully through worship, testimony, and honest teaching. Let’s walk through how a single night’s message can open new doors for peace, healing, and real freedom in your life too.

The natural world offers profound spiritual lessons if we’re open to seeing them. Two birds, the turkey buzzard and the eagle, provide vivid examples of how we can choose to live. While one scavenges on decay, settling for what’s easy, the other soars to unmatched heights, overcoming storms and pursuing purpose. Let’s explore how these creatures can help us understand faith, growth, and God’s plans in the coming year.

Fasting goes beyond skipping meals—it’s a profound spiritual practice that aligns us with God’s will and helps us put on the garment of praise. It’s a deliberate surrender of the flesh to strengthen the spirit. While it might feel like mourning as our physical cravings battle for attention, fasting opens the door to spiritual clarity, growth, and blessings. As Jesus taught in Matthew 9:14-15, fasting isn’t optional. He said, “When you fast…” signaling its importance. Let’s uncover how fasting moves us from mourning into a life full of divine empowerment and joy.

In a world full of distractions and competing voices, understanding how to hear God’s voice becomes essential for anyone seeking spiritual clarity. Hearing God’s voice isn’t just about receiving messages; it’s about finding direction, confirming decisions, and aligning our hearts with His will. The story of Samuel offers profound insights into this spiritual practice, showing how we too can learn to recognize God’s call.

There’s something profoundly transformative about calling on the name of Jesus. It’s not just a name—it’s a declaration of authority, hope, and healing that transcends human understanding. Throughout history, miracles have occurred when His name is invoked, and they continue to this day. From healing the sick to bringing peace in chaos, the name of Jesus reminds us that nothing is beyond God’s reach.

The Bible tells us that the name of Jesus is above all names. It’s a name that commands attention and brings change.
