Is the World Falling Down Around Us?

What’s going on with the world? I hear so much concern about the economy, about what our President is doing, and various other stories that are shaded with fear and hopelessness. The problem isn’t so much that these stories are being spun (even being spun out of control at times), but rather the way that we as Christians respond to this news. There may be big problems in the world, but the the bigger problem is our attitudes towards the challenges we face! When everyone else is talking about how bad things are getting, believers are called to see above the cloudiness and change things!

I believe that God has given us a corporate mandate, and that we all have a role in shifting the culture we’re currently in. When we’re faced with a big problem, all we need is just a little faith. Whatever faith you have, activate it. Here are four things to put your faith towards, and I want to encourage you to believe that:

1. There’s going to be a future and a hope.
2. Nothing is impossible with God.
3. You’ve been given supernatural power that can change the future.
4. The redemptive nature of God rescues the world from it’s own devices and saves the world from the fruit of sin.

I hope this video encourages you to partner with the kingdom inside of you and respond with hope instead of reacting with fear, to see mountains as molehills and cast them into the ocean!


We all have a role to play in culture change and whenever you’re faced with a problem I want to challenge you to ask the question, “What does God think of all of this?” Do you think He’s in heaven pacing up and down with a furrowed brow just desperate to see if things are going to work out okay? Not at all! There is no situation that God looks at without hope. He’s the author of redemption and He’s the most powerful person I know. This should create great hope in our hearts for the miraculous ways that God will show up in our finances, our cities and our countries. In a time when people are hungering for hope, will you be a catalyst for others to encounter God? How can you be a part of molding the culture we’re living in?

In early December, I began seeking a prophetic word from the Lord for 2024. He told me, "I am not going to give you a word for 2024. Instead, I am going to give you a word for the Body of Christ for a new era." He explained that January 2024 would be a half-time; marking the closure of an era and the beginning of a new one. This period would be characterized by immense transition, culminating in the discipling of nations. A supernatural metamorphosis, metaphorically akin to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, would occur right before our eyes.

Have you ever found yourself in the midst of life's chaos, desperately needing a break, clarity, and a spiritual reset? Picture it like halftime – that pivotal moment when the coach steps in, recalibrates the team, and sparks a turnaround. The game isn't over; this is a chance to come back stronger and claim victory! In recent weeks, a resounding message has been echoing in my heart and mind: January is the Church's halftime! Our divine Coach is calling us to the huddle, to draw close, and let Him fine-tune our game plan – our values, thoughts, and behaviors. Amid the noise, He's inviting us to step away, knowing that leaning into these divine moments will catapult us into the second half, ready for victory. And in this game, we already know the final score – He wins!

Gen Z, labeled as the seemingly lost generation to Christianity, and Gen Alpha, the digital natives immersed in screens, stand at the crossroads of an era defined by the rapid evolution of technology. As they navigate the evolving landscape of identity, both personal and global, a crucial question reverberates: "Has the Church lost this next generation?"
