Are you thinking… or just compiling? I’m running a little experiment this week. 👉 The Unassisted Week For my message prep: - No AI - No Google - No screens Just: - Paper Bible - Pen - Notebook - Books Not because analog is better… But because I want to make sure my thinking is still strong enough to stand on its own. Here’s what I’m seeing in leaders (myself included): We’ve gotten really good at: - Searching fast - Compiling ideas - Producing quickly But we might be losing: - Depth - Clarity - Discernment And that’s dangerous. Because if you’re not careful, you start:👉 trusting tools more than your thinking👉 borrowing clarity instead of developing conviction Scripture says:We have the mind of Christ.The Holy Spirit is our guide. So here’s the tension: Are we actually using that…
or defaulting to tools because they’re faster? I’m not anti-AI. I use it all the time. But I refuse to let it sit in the driver’s seat. Your challenge (if you’re in): Before you search this week… ➡️ Sit with the text➡️ Write your own thoughts➡️ Process first THEN go to tools. I want to hear from you: 💬 Could you go fully unassisted for a week? 💬 What would be hardest about it? 💬 Where do you feel most dependent right now? 👇 Watch the video and jump in: This isn’t about being old school. It’s about thinking at a higher level again.

Hey guys, we are renting space out strategically to a Christ centered church that's looking for stability. Share with anyone you know.

Hey all - Xpose Hope (https://www.xposehope.com/) is looking for ministry space (small room) that can be dedicated for storage for their monthly outreaches in Portland. Ideally something centrally located in Portland. Any churches you might know of that we can reach out to?

Hey all - would love your prayers for Westside this weekend. We've got something like 30+ baptisms lined up for Sunday. It's going to be a huge celebration. Praying in advance that the enemy will be thwarted, that people will follow through, that Steve Barker's arm will stay in tact as he is baptizing all those people, and that it will be a huge win for the Kingdom. How can we be praying for you today?
