Many years ago, even as a child raised in a Bible believing and Pentecostal church. I used to be kind of drawn to the idea of “awakening” seeing deeper, understanding more, tapping into something beyond the surface. And to be honest some of it felt real. But there was one question I couldn’t shake: If I’m the one opening myself up, how do I know what I’m actually opening myself up to? Not everything spiritual is automatically good just because it feels powerful. That thought stayed with me. What changed everything for me wasn’t gaining more control, it was encountering something (someone) that didn’t come from me. Real peace. Not forced. Not maintained. Just…there. I didn’t expect it to lead me to Jesus the way it did. But it did and it was different than anything I tried before. I’m curious— Have you ever questioned where certain spiritual experiences are actually coming from?

Not every win is big. Sometimes it’s: • Choosing prayer over distraction • Getting back up after messing up • Taking one small step forward That matters. God sees the small things too. 👇 Share a win (big or small): What’s something you’ve done recently that you’re proud of?

Let’s be honest. Following Christ isn’t always easy. Some days you feel on fire. Other days you feel distant, distracted, or just tired. And sometimes… you don’t even know where you stand. You’re not alone in that. Growth isn’t about being perfect. It’s about staying willing even when it’s hard. 👇 Be real for a second: What’s something you’ve been struggling with lately?
