Critics may be loud, but contributors are faithful. They stay the course. They finish strong. And their legacy isn’t built on comments—it’s built on impact. You may not be building a wall, but every day you walk into spaces where you can either reflect the temperature or set it. You can either stir up drama or speak life. You can tear down—or you can build up.

We don’t often treat worry like a serious problem. In Christian circles, it gets lumped in with sins we’ve grown comfortable with—like gossip or pride. But Jesus didn’t treat it that way. He said very clearly: “Do not worry.” This is not a suggestion, it’s a command.

We live in a culture that constantly tells us to chase more—more success, more stuff, more affirmation, and more control. None of these things are bad in and of themselves. In fact, most are gifts. But when good things become ultimate things, they become idols.

If you’re in a place you didn’t plan—vocationally, relationally, geographically—don’t despise it. God may be doing His deepest work in your life on the detours.
