In this chapter, we talk about the power of one seed.

Jesus tells us that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can speak to mountains in our lives and they will move. That tells us something powerful—we don’t need the entire Bible memorized, we don’t need thousands of verses at once. We just need one Word from God.

With over 31,000 verses in the Bible, one verse is more than enough to be planted like a seed in our lives. In this message, I share how the Word of God is a seed, just like Jesus teaches in the Parable of the Sower, and how what we do with that seed determines the fruit we see.

As we look toward 2026, the challenge is simple:
• Take one verse
• Plant it in your heart
• Water it daily with prayer
• Strengthen it through obedience
• Guard it with faith when the enemy sends fiery darts

That one small seed, when cared for, becomes a shield of faith and begins to grow into something living, powerful, and life-changing. God’s Word is alive and active—sharper than any two-edged sword—and when faith rises, everything changes.

Without faith it is impossible to please God, and this episode is all about helping your faith rise by watching God’s Word come alive in your everyday life.

Be Still—even when life feels uncomfortable.

I use the example of cold plunging: when you first get in, the cold is shocking and intense. But if you stay still, your body forms a thermal layer that begins to protect you and keep you warm. The moment you start moving around, you break that layer and suddenly feel how cold the water really is.

That’s exactly how faith works.

When life hits hard, our instinct is to move—to fix, to run, to control. But God calls us to be still and trust Him. When you remain in His Word and stop striving in your own strength, faith begins to cover you like that thermal layer. Peace replaces panic. Trust replaces fear.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Staying still when life is uncomfortable
• How faith becomes your protection
• Finding scripture that speaks to your situation
• Standing on God’s Word instead of your emotions
• Why anxiety, worry, and fear grow when we don’t stay rooted in truth

If you’re in a season where things feel overwhelming, this message is for you. Stay in the Word. Stand on the Word. And trust that God is working even when you can’t see it.

My wife and I share our journey through the classes Unique Woman and Maximized Manhood at Lakewood Church—what life looked like before the classes, how God worked in us during the process, and how our lives and marriage have changed after.

We talk honestly about growth, accountability, relationships, faith, and the power of not walking alone. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode is for you. God didn’t design us to do life by ourselves—community matters, marriage matters, and spiritual growth matters.

We hope to see you online or in person on Thursday's!
