I used to think religion tasted horrible.⁠ Turns I used to think religion tasted horrible.⁠
Turns out…⁠
I was right.⁠
⁠
It wasn’t the Bread of Life that left a bitter taste—⁠
it was the additives.⁠
The flavor enhancers.⁠
The spiritual substitutes.⁠
⁠
The fog machines.⁠
The choreographed transitions.⁠
The emotional moments designed to look like awe, but are instead carefully curated, premeditated.
The buildings dressed like a daydream but are filled by those who create nightmares 
⁠
Somewhere along the way, we traded sacred for slick.⁠
We made the gathering a show,⁠
the leaders celebrities,⁠
the people spectators.⁠

Somewhere along the way the purity of the gospel was made to become fodder for entertainment—drawing sheep to earthly shepherds rather than the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
⁠
But what if it was never meant to be that way? Let me rephrase that—I know it was never meant to be this way. ⁠
⁠
What if the Church wasn’t supposed to look like a concert hall…⁠or a comedy show…or an entertainment venue…
but a living room?⁠
Not a stage, but a table?⁠
Not a crowd, but a family?⁠
⁠
What if we stopped treating reverence like a relic,⁠
and started returning to the wild holiness of ordinary, mundane genuine relationships where life is shared, forgiveness is extended and repentance is routine?
⁠
Worship that sounds like dishes clanking in the sink.⁠
Communion that happens over coffee.⁠
Confession that shows up in the driveway.⁠
Repentance not reserved for altar calls or mountain tops but held tenderly from across the couch.⁠
⁠
The simple church.⁠
⁠
Not soft. Not watered down.⁠
But simple—⁠
less production, more surrender…
Like the early Church—⁠
the original Church—⁠filled with those who didn’t gather for entertainment, but for endurance. 
⁠
They devoted themselves to teaching,⁠
to breaking bread,⁠
to prayer,⁠
to each other.⁠
⁠
No programs.⁠
No spotlight.⁠
Just people marked by His presence.⁠
⁠
That’s the kind of Church we ache for.⁠
Not a new idea.⁠
In fact, one of the oldest ones there is.

“We are not called to be successful, we are call “We are not called to be successful, we are called to be faithful. And the faithfulness of one man can change the course of a nation.” — Charles Spurgeon⁠
⁠
In a world obsessed with outcomes,⁠
this kind of thinking sounds almost foolish.⁠
⁠
Because faithfulness doesn’t trend.⁠
It rarely makes headlines.⁠
It often looks like showing up when no one’s watching.⁠
Praying when no one sees.⁠
Loving when it’s not returned.⁠
Planting seeds in soil that doesn’t seem to grow.⁠
⁠
But Scripture is full of stories where one person’s quiet “yes” to God shifted everything.⁠
⁠
Noah built the ark when it had never rained.⁠
Esther spoke up when silence felt safer.⁠
Joseph stayed the course when bitterness would’ve been easier.⁠
Mary said, “Let it be to me as you have said,”⁠
not knowing it would cost her everything.⁠
⁠
None of them had the full picture.⁠
None of them had a platform.⁠
But they were faithful.⁠
And God used it.⁠
⁠
So if you’re feeling unseen,⁠
if the fruit seems small,⁠
if your life feels ordinary—⁠
⁠
take heart.⁠
⁠
You don’t have to be impressive.⁠
You don’t have to be strategic.⁠
You just have to be faithful.⁠
⁠
Because faithfulness always matters more than success.⁠
⁠
And sometimes, one obedient life⁠
can reroute history.⁠
You drop a bucket of water on a rock and nothing c You drop a bucket of water on a rock and nothing changes.⁠
⁠
But a single drop—falling day after day after day—can hollow out the hardest stone.⁠
⁠
That’s what faithfulness does. Quietly. Steadily. Unseen. Without applause.⁠
⁠
Life isn’t about chasing a finish line.⁠
It’s not about becoming some ideal version of yourself out there in the distance.⁠
It’s about honoring what you’ve been given right now—⁠
not to impress the world,⁠
but to bless it.⁠
⁠
You’re not just building a life.⁠
You’re building depth.⁠
So you can love well in hard seasons.⁠
Show up for your people, and many more too.⁠
Stay grounded when everything else is shaking.⁠
Offer peace when someone else is breaking.⁠
⁠
The world says go hard, burn fast, hustle more.⁠
But God invites us into something deeper.⁠
⁠
Stewardship.
⁠Faithfulness.
⁠**Obedience in the same direction over time.**⁠
⁠
So don’t despise small beginnings.⁠
Don’t curse the quiet, hidden days.⁠
Because it’s not the bucket that shapes the stone.⁠
It’s the drip.⁠
⁠
Every act of love.⁠
Every prayer.⁠
Every drop of obedience.⁠
It matters.⁠
