What type of woman do you want to be in the body of Christ ?

On our way back from celebrating our six-year covenant anniversary retreat in the mountains, my wife and I found ourselves deeply reflecting on what the Lord did in us and through us during that time. We intentionally stepped away from the noise of life, ministry demands, and daily responsibilities, and in that place of separation, the Lord met us in supernatural and deeply personal ways, confirming direction, healing places in our hearts, and strengthening our covenant. During that time, we laughed together, we wept together, we prayed together, we worshiped together, we sat in the Word together, we rested together, and simply learned each other again in fresh ways. When you are raising four children and carrying the weight and assignment of ministry, extended time alone as husband and wife is rare, but we were reminded that covenant must be continually cultivated, not assumed. Marriage is not sustained by proximity — it is sustained by intentional pursuit, sacrifice, and time set apart before the Lord. Every married couple, in every season, should prayerfully make space to step away and invest in their covenant, because a strong marriage is not only a blessing to the home, but it is a foundation for legacy, ministry, and generational impact. Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NKJV) “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

My wife and I have been working on a submission course. It’s blessed us so much. We’ve learned so much making the course! For married couples and singles it’s going to bless you BIG TIME. How many of you guys are ready?!

God showed Abraham the ram when Abraham was obedient and did what God had said… “Here I am”.

I was reading about seeking the Lord early and something really hit me — David shows us this pattern in Psalm 5, and it’s wild because he’s not just talking about prayer, he’s talking about priority, and David literally says in Psalm 5:3 (NKJV), “My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up,” and that word direct there carries the picture of arranging a sacrifice on an altar, meaning David wasn’t just casually talking to God — he was laying his heart, his thoughts, his plans, and his day on the altar before God before the world could touch him, and that blew my mind because it shows that mornings are spiritual battlegrounds for dominion over your mind, emotions, and direction, and this connects with Lamentations 3:22–23 (NKJV), “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness,” meaning God literally releases fresh mercy, fresh grace, and fresh strength every morning, so when you seek Him early, you are stepping into the fresh supply of heaven for that specific day, and then David doubles down in Psalm 63:1 (NKJV), “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water,” and this is crazy because David is saying even when life feels dry, pressure-filled, or wilderness-like, early pursuit is how you stay spiritually hydrated, and the mystery is this: when you seek God first, you are not starting your day from earth trying to reach heaven — you are starting your day from heaven’s perspective and then walking into earth, and it shows me that mornings are like spiritual “first fruits,” and God has always honored first fruits throughout Scripture, meaning when you give God the first part of your day, He anoints the rest of it, and it also shows that if you don’t fill your spirit first, the world will fill your soul by default, and it just reminded me that the remnant cannot afford reactive Christianity — we have to be people who meet God before we meet people, because intimacy in the morning produces authority in the day, clarity in decisions, sensitivity to the Spirit, and strength against temptation, and the real mystery is this: seeking God early is not about religious routine, it’s about spiritual positioning, because when your voice meets God at sunrise, His wisdom meets your future before you ever step into it.
