Father, we come before You not asking for comfort, but for fire. 🔥 Awaken us, Lord. Stir the hearts of Your people across this nation — in the pews, the cities and the small towns, in the schools, in the workplaces, and in the streets. We confess that we have too often been content to hear Your Word and go home unchanged. We have been admirers of Jesus when You called us to be followers. Make us doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves. Let the truth we sing on Sunday become the way we walk on Monday. Let it show up in our homes, our workplaces, our neighborhoods. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours. Give us boldness where we have been silent! Send us! Not someday, not when we feel ready, but now. Send us out into the world seeking and saving the lost, because that is what the Jesus came to do. He said, "As the Father has sent me, so I send you." Do it again in our generation, God. Not for our platforms or our reputations, but for the glory of Jesus Christ and the salvation of souls. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Temple family, it's a new week and with that comes new challenges and opportunities. If you are in need of prayer, please leave us a comment so we can pray over you. We want to lift up all our community members as we value you and your presence here with us. So please don't hesitate to put in a prayer request. We hope everyone has a fantastic week🙏🏽

Hey Temple Family🫶🏽 As I like to say, life is lifing right now for both Rudy & I. Anyone else? We’ve had a very full July that doesn’t seem to be stopping as we continue moving towards August. The good thing is is that we will have more time on our hands come August. The hard part? We have to wait until that happens. This reminded me of some wisdom I’ve heard from other brothers & sisters: You may be waiting and a lot may seem like it isn’t happening but God is still working🤍 Although a lot is happening for us at this point in time, there are things we have felt haven’t been happening. Like keeping up with our community, tasks we’ve had to put off, even daily movement. But I’m reminded that God is still working. We still have the opportunity to find a rhythm again & be stronger for it. So if you’re in a season of waiting or feeling like things aren’t happening, remember God is working all things for your good. Trust in Him. I hope everyone is having a blessed Tuesday✨

Do you ever feel really accomplished & just absolutely on fire after you get that form of movement you’ve been seeking? You hit a PR (personal record), you have a great yoga class, you get a better mile time. Whatever it may be, it lights you up🔥 & not only that, you want to do it all again because of how good it felt. What if we sought God in the same way? What if we actually looked forward to spending time with Him & facing the challenges knowing He is by our side? The problem is, we forget. In the same way, when you neglect your health & fitness, your body begins to change. Not as much strength, less energy to get through the day, struggling more with stressors because of the lack of practice. That’s how we are without Him & His presence when we don’t exercise our faith. The world is distracting but God is always for you. & like a muscle, your faith is something that has to be worked to remain strong. You know how some people say they want to be able to help others with their strength or help themselves with their strength? Ask yourself this question: Is my faith strong enough to get me out of trouble? Mentally, physically, or spiritually? I know I still struggle with this & that’s ok. As I tell my clients, because you are aware & know what you need to do, you have a firm enough foundation to build upon. So keep your head up & keep going!

Temple family! We hope you have been well🤍 Rudy and I have not been as present in this community and have felt incredibly sad because of it but we wanted to share the reason for our absence for the last couple of weeks. At the top of June, we found out that we are expecting our first child and since then we have just been trying to adjust to the new changes. With things beginning to settle a bit more, we wanted to let our family here know and also let you all know we will be back online more often this month. We so appreciate your patience as we have been working through this change and we are so excited to share more with you soon🥰 From all 3 of us, thank you! We hope you have a blessed week🫶🏽
