Three months ago today we sat together in Lexington, Kentucky and God ignited an Uprising in our hearts! A fire that would burn bright as we make a way for people to find their way home. The Uprising was never meant to be about a day or a great conference. It was meant to ignite us, change us, inspire us and equip us to do the ONE THING Jesus came & died for…to seek and save the LOST. There is no greater calling or mission on the planet!!

Remember what God did in you in April. Don’t lose heart. Whether you’ve seen massive fruit or you find yourself struggling to remember they “why” behind it all, KEEP GOING FOR IT! No matter what.

Galatians 6:9 says, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Don’t give up…on the church, on your ministry, on yourself, on the people you love. There is HOPE in their lives because YOU’RE in their lives. Remember your first love. Remember why you went into ministry to begin with. You can do this, friends! Keep the flame lit and ask Jesus to stir up His Spirit in you to live a Luke 19:10 kind of life.

You really MATTER!

Praying for you and cheering you on.

When you trust God with our money,you’re really trusting Him. And His is ALWAYS trustworthy. He will not drop you or forget you. He gave you His BOY…He’s not going to withhold from you now.

Tonight at Celebration I was thrilled to announce some amazing numbers that might encourage you as you remember you really are part of The Power of Everybody. As we all dive into our next steps of financial freedom…

• 80 new families are joining the Imagine2 Journey!

• 266 new households are trusting God in the Three Month Tithe Challenge!

• And…256 people are finding financial freedom at Financial Peace University!

Do you have ANY idea what kind of freedom you’re opening the door to Questers? If we commit to this together, cheer each other on and trust God with our resources…there’s no limit on what He can do in us and through us! The watching world won’t have any idea what to do with such a radically generous community.

I’ve seen Him be so faithful in this area of my life, friends. Go for it! Trust Him with all you’ve got and let Him lead you. He’ll be so FAITHFUL.

Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track. Don’t assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil! Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life! Honor God with everything you own; give Him the first and the best. Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over. - Proverbs 3:5-10 MSG

Cheering you on and praying for you! I can’t WAIT to hear what God does in your lives.
