1st Anniversary Celebration
1st Anniversary Celebration
Can you believe it’s been a full year? Over the past 52 weeks of navigating crazy, unbelievable faith, Brian and Kersha have realized that while time flies when you're having fun, stepping in front of a camera to be raw, vulnerable, and messy is a journey of its own. From tech glitches with Pilot Jerry to cell phone alarms randomly going off from 2018, this milestone reflection proves that nobody has it completely put together—and that's exactly how God likes it. Brian and Kersha look back at a year of radical growth, unexpected detours, and the life-changing shift that occurred during their trip to Puerto Rico with John Maxwell. They unpack the deep realities of what it means to stay consistent when you'd rather wave the white flag, reminding us that God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the surrendered. It’s a raw celebration of the fact that if God carried you through this past season, He isn't about to abandon you in the next.

🛑 Reflect + Apply
This week's challenge:
Reflect on this past year: what is one specific prayer that you completely stopped praying because the breakthrough didn't happen fast enough?
Look closely at your life over the last 12 months—where did fear win, and where did God's grace completely surprise you?
Is your heart running wild without proper supervision? What practical steps can you take today to prioritize obedience over shifting feelings?
What hidden, unexpected field is God clearing for you right now while you are busy looking for fruit in an old harvest?
📖 Scripture Focus
Joshua 1:9 — "Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Not just where you plan, map out, or over-spiritualize, but wherever you actually move.
Genesis 12:1 — "Go from your country... to the land I will show you." A clear reminder that Abraham had to practice bold obedience and step out before receiving geographic clarity.
Matthew 14:29 — "Peter got down out of the boat." Showing the distinct difference between the 11 disciples who chose comfort and the one who chose the wild adventure of water-walking.
Romans 5:8 — "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." The ultimate blueprint of love and leadership established by a Savior who was willing to go first before we had it together.
Proverbs 24:16 — "For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again." A beautiful testament that a year of messy human slip-ups can still be firmly anchored by God's sustaining grace.
