In this week’s devotion, Brenden Pristach shares from a recent conference in Louisville, Kentucky themed “For the One.” He explores the heart of the Great Commission and our call to pursue specific people in our lives with the gospel — the same focus we had during our “Who’s Your One” series at Greentree.

Brenden speaks honestly about his own struggles with personal evangelism. While he’s comfortable preaching and teaching to large groups, he often feels doubt and fear in one-on-one conversations. Through Matthew 28, he highlights a powerful truth: When Jesus gave the Great Commission, the disciples worshiped Him, but some doubted — yet Jesus still sent them out.

This message is a strong reminder that we don’t have to have all the answers or perfect faith before we obey. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit will teach us, remind us, and guide us in those moments.

Key Scripture:

• Matthew 28:16-20 (The Great Commission)
• John 14:25-27 (The Holy Spirit as our Advocate)

This Week’s Challenge:

• If you don’t have a “one,” pray and ask God to clearly show you who that person is in your life.
• If you already have a “one,” set a daily recurring reminder on your phone that says: “Pray for [Name]”

Brenden also invites anyone wrestling with big questions or doubts to reach out — he would love to walk with you through those conversations.

You are not alone in this mission. The Holy Spirit is with you.
