Based on Oswald Chambers Most people don’t realize this… but there are two versions of you trying to run your life. One is your God-shaped personality — the you He designed, crafted, prepared, and empowered. The other is your self-shaped individuality — the version of you that tries to run life without God… the one built on self-protection, pride, fear, or the need to control everything. Oswald Chambers said it like a hammer: “Individuality counterfeits personality as lust counterfeits love.” Let that hit for a second. A counterfeit looks close to the real thing… but it empties you instead of completing you. Lust isn’t love. Control isn’t leadership. Noise isn’t clarity. And a self-made identity isn’t the same as the identity God wrote in Ephesians 2:10. God designed your nature for Him, not for you to power it by yourself. And every time we drift back to “I’ll handle it,” we step out of purpose and into the counterfeit. 💬 Where do you see individuality (the self-made version of you) trying to run the show right now — and what would shift if you let God-shaped personality take the lead instead? Drop your thoughts below. Let’s grow from each other’s honesty.

Most people judge their life by how it looks. God judges it by how it’s built. You can smile big, talk strong, and look stable…but the moment the wind shows up, your foundation tells the real story. Here’s the truth: - Straw faith feels good but collapses fast. - Stick faith looks structured but cracks under pressure. - Brick faith is slow… steady… and Spirit-built. - And every one of us is building something — one decision, one habit, one belief at a time. The wolf isn’t the problem. His breath just exposes what we trusted more than Christ. So let’s talk: 💬 If the “wind test” hit your life today… which house would it expose — straw, sticks, or brick? And what’s one brick you need to lay this week? Drop your answer below. Let’s build something that lasts — together.

Funny how we can hand out judgment like candy… but when it’s our turn to face the mirror, suddenly we “meant well,” “had a rough day,” or “didn’t really mean it.” Most of us hold others to a standard we don’t hold ourselves to. We excuse our weaknesses while condemning theirs. And the truth? That double standard is one of the quickest ways to stunt our growth and damage our relationships. If you were judged by the same standard you use on others… would you pass your own test? 👇 Honest question: Where do you tend to give yourself a pass but hold others’ feet to the fire? (Be brave — someone needs your honesty today.)

This one hits deep. These five regrets show up again and again in people at the end of their journey: 1️⃣ “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself." So many chase expectations… and never chase their own calling. 2️⃣ “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.” Success is expensive when the cost is the people you love. 3️⃣ “I wish I had expressed my feelings.” Unspoken emotions become unfinished stories and unresolved relationships. 4️⃣ “I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends." Life gets busy. Friendships fade. But connection is part of what keeps us alive. 5️⃣ “I wish I had let myself be happier.” Joy is a choice we keep postponing — until we can’t choose anymore. Your turn: Which one hits you the hardest right now… and why? Drop it in the comments. This might be the first step toward living differently today, not someday.

I came across an old video today, and it stopped me cold. In it, I shared a story about a neighbor who passed away after simply tripping over a rock in her yard. One moment she was living her normal life… The next moment, her time on this earth was over. No warning. No countdown. No “let me get my life together first.” And it hit me all over again: We spend so much of our lives acting like we have extra time in the bank. We don’t. We overthink. We hesitate. We wait for the perfect moment — and the perfect moment never comes. But the dream you’ve been sitting on? The story God put in your heart? The calling you keep pushing off until “later”? Later is not guaranteed. I’m not sharing this to scare anyone…I’m sharing it because some of you need to wake up to the urgency of your own purpose. You’ve got something inside you that matters. You’ve got a path God already prepared. And you don’t honor it by delaying — you honor it by starting. So, here’s the question I want us all to chew on today: If tomorrow never came… what dream would you regret not stepping into today? Drop your answer below. Let’s talk about it. Let’s encourage each other. And let’s stop acting like we have unlimited time. Your significance is calling — do something about it today.
