Lessons from 2024

Embrace Change as a Vehicle for Growth
Transitions often stretch us, but they’re also where growth thrives. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable, but it’s where God often does His most transformative work.
Rest and Reflection Are as Crucial as Action
Pausing to reflect and rest isn’t a setback—it’s a necessary part of fulfilling God’s call. True productivity is about focusing on what matters most, not simply doing more.
Leadership Flourishes When It Empowers Others
Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about enabling others to grow and succeed. Serving the vision of others leads to lasting impact.
Long-Term Transformation Happens Through Short-Term Faithfulness
Investing in relationships, even through small, consistent actions, creates profound impact over time.
Faithfulness in the Small Things Leads to Big Kingdom Impact
Daily acts of showing up, being present, and serving well have eternal significance, even if they seem small in the moment.
Trusting God’s Bigger Plan Requires Surrender and Faith
When our plans don’t pan out, it’s often because God has something better. His timing and purposes are always greater than we could imagine.
