  • The Opportunity Most Christians Are Overlooking

    The Opportunity Most Christians Are Overlooking
    Apr 24 2026
    You’ve been given more authority than you realize—but most of us are using it far too small.

This is a call to lift our eyes beyond ourselves and engage in what God is doing in the world. If faith is meant to make an impact, then the real question is: What are you doing with the authority you’ve been given?
