God can use who He created you to be. 🤍

Sometimes we wait until we feel fully ready, fully confident, or fully qualified before we step out in faith. But God already knows how He made you, and He can use your personality, your heart, your story, and the gifts He placed inside of you.

Try it.
Pray for someone.
Serve somewhere.
Step into what God is putting on your heart.

You never know where He may be leading you.

New episode is out now ✨

You Have Gifts from God. Are You Using Them?

In this episode, Andrew and I talk about growing closer to God through prayer, Scripture, spiritual gifts and learning to live by the Spirit instead of the flesh.

God has placed gifts inside of each of us, not so we can build ourselves up, but so we can serve Him encourage others and help build His kingdom.

Our prayer is that this episode helps you ask yourself:

What has God given me?
Am I using it for Him?
Where is He calling me to grow?

One of the biggest misconceptions about salvation is thinking that once you’re saved, the struggle is over.

But that is not what Scripture teaches.

God is still working in us. We will walk, we will fall, we will get back up, and we will keep learning to trust Him through every season. Struggle does not mean your faith is fake. It means God is still shaping you, growing you, and teaching you to depend on Him.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged because your walk with God has been hard, this clip is for you.

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
- Philippians 1:6

You were not created by accident.

God placed something inside of you on purpose, and your calling does not have to look like anyone else’s. Not everyone is meant to preach on a stage, but every single person has been given something that can be used for the kingdom of God.

This clip is a reminder that your life matters, your gifts matter, and God can use you right where you are.

“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
- Ephesians 2:10

Christians are not soft.
We are in a fight every single day.

We are called to stand firm, stay faithful, and keep our fire for God burning no matter what comes against us. Following Jesus is not weakness. It takes surrender, endurance, passion and strength.

We are not soft.
We are on fire. 🔥

You may not be the loudest person in the room.
You may not be on stage.
You may not feel seen.

But your place in the church still matters.

In this clip, Pastor Temo shares a powerful reminder that every believer has a purpose in the body of Christ. Whether you’re introverted, extroverted, behind the scenes, or front and center, your role is vitally important. When one part is missing, the body feels it.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you matter in the church, this message is for you.

Watch, reflect and be encouraged:
you are needed.

Involve God in everything you do.
Not just in the big moments but in the small ones too.

With thanksgiving.
With prayer.
With honest requests.

God is worthy of it all!
your praise, your trust and your dependence.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” - Philippians 4:6
