    How to Walk with God in Life’s Everyday Moments

    1024 585 Paul Luna

    Intimacy with God is more than a concept; it’s a personal journey of trust, faith, and connection. It’s not about perfection or elaborate prayers but about showing up daily, inviting Him into every moment, and recognizing His presence in the ordinary and extraordinary. Through prayer, reflection, and trust, we grow closer to Him and experience His peace and guidance as we walk through life side by side with our Creator.

    1024 585 Paul Luna

    Ever feel like life throws leadership responsibilities at you when you’re just trying to survive the day? Yeah, I get it. I was at my kitchen table the other day, avoiding the pile of dishes when it hit me—we all lead in some way.

Let’s dive into how Christian leadership isn’t about titles, but about living out love and integrity in every corner of our lives.

    Reflecting Christ’s Love in Action

    1024 600 Paul Luna

    As I reflect on Jesus’ humble act of washing His disciples’ feet, I’m reminded of how He calls us to serve one another with that same love and humility. In my own experience as a youth leader, I witnessed the power of simple, humble acts of service, like when my student ministry pastor knelt and washed my feet at the end of camp. This blog explores how we can follow Jesus’ example by serving in our church and community, whether through helping set up for events like our BBQ, guiding children in ministry, or using our talents in tech or music. Each act of service strengthens our faith and deepens our connection to Christ and one another.
