You cannot step into a future that you cannot see. Excellence requires vision. It requires knowing who you are becoming and choosing to live that way now. Scripture says, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). If you do not have a clear direction, it is easy to drift. But when you have vision, you can move forward with purpose. Today, take a moment to consider this: Do I have a clear picture of who God is calling me to be? If you’re reading along with us, this is from Chapter 7 of Relationship Goals in the classroom.

God is many things. He is faithful, merciful, loving, and good. But there is one thing that heaven never stops declaring. “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty…” (Revelation 4:8) Throughout Scripture, we see that His holiness is not something to take lightly. It cannot be mixed with anything impure. It cannot be approached casually. And yet, God made a way for us to come near. Scripture says: “As He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct” (1 Peter 1:15) This is not a call to earn something. It is a call to walk in what has already been given through Jesus. We also have to guard against mixture. The truth of God’s Word is pure. The moment it is mixed with anything else, it is no longer truth in its fullness. “If it’s not the pure gospel, it’s no gospel at all.” (Galatians 1:6–9) It only takes a small compromise to change the direction of our lives. Today, take a moment and consider this: Am I allowing God to refine my life, or am I holding on to things He is asking me to release? You can watch the full teaching video RIGHT HERE. Esther explains it beautifully.

Family, this is one of those messages that is worth going back and sitting with again. Not just watching once, but taking time to really hear what was said. There is a strong call in it. A call to move, a call to step out, a call to live with real, active faith. Julie shares about the shift from preparation into purpose. There comes a point where you cannot stay in the place of waiting. You have to move forward in obedience. Aaron brings a sobering reminder about the difference between looking alive and actually living by faith. God is not calling us to perform. He is calling us to walk in something real. If you have felt stuck, dry, or like you have been in a waiting season, take time to go back and watch this again (or maybe for the first time) Let the Lord speak to you fresh. You can watch it RIGHT HERE. Let’s talk as a family: What stood out to you the most when you watched this message? 👀

Purity matters. When something pure is mixed with something else, it changes its nature. Scripture calls us to be set apart (1 Peter 1:15). That means we cannot allow compromise to slowly work its way into our lives. Small compromises may not seem like a big deal at first, but over time they weaken our character. God calls us to live with clarity, not mixture. Today, take a moment to consider this: Is there anything in my life that is compromising what God is trying to build? If you’re reading along with us, this is from Chapter 7 of Relationship Goals in the classroom.

Jesus said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” (Matthew 5:3) That means living with a constant awareness that we are completely dependent on Him. He also said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness…” (Matthew 5:6) There is a connection between hunger and being filled. If we are not hungry for Him, we will fill our lives with other things. But if we truly pursue Him, He promises to satisfy. Jesus told the woman at the well: “Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.” (John 4:14) Only He can truly satisfy the soul. Today, take a moment and consider this: Am I living dependent on God, or just trying to manage life on my own? Esther takes us even deeper. You can watch it RIGHT HERE
