I Have Something to Say about Any Number of “Easy” Ways

I’ve been in the author/speaker/teacher world for a few years now. That being said, I’m really a nobody next to the somebodies in the industry — my friends and followers few, my platform as small as the audience that surrounds it.

So, if being successful in the industry, adds to my validity, you really have no reason to listen to little ol’ me.

That’s why I will forever beg you to not listen to me, and instead listen only to Him. No need to follow me. Just follow Jesus. He will never lead you astray.

As long as I have breath in my lungs and God’s Word in my heart, my boast will forever remain in Him. My source of truth and the reason for everything I do will forever be because He made me, forgave me, and saved me.

If I want others to have an abundant life in Christ, my words must always point them to God’s Word.

His Way.

His Will.

His Word.

My words will always fall short.

His Word never returns void.

When I first started writing more publicly, the advice I was given was that “easy sells” and “less is more.” Consolidate your thoughts into 3-5, maybe up to 10 things/ways/keys to a better this, an easier that, but whatever you promise, make it STAT!

And I can do that. And I have done that. And then I think, “who am I to promise a foolproof way of doing anything?”

Remember, I’m a nobody. A nobody that is loved by God Almighty. He alone gives me the keys to practicality.

People want practical. Hey, I’m wired that way, too. I’m not knocking practical application of Biblical truth.

But empty, gimmicky promises, while they may sell, do not age well.

Life is not formulaic, it’s a mosaic that God designs and refines using the fragments of a broken life molded by the pressure of living in a broken world. 

I don’t want to grow my audience, I want my audience to GROW — in maturity, not quantity.

I want to build God’s Kingdom, not a platform.

I want to give others a “Who Through,” not a “how to.”

I desperately want to know Him more so I can make Him known in this desperate world.

10 ways to a better...

Nah, I’m good. I’ll settle for His Way. It’s the only way. It may not be the easiest or most popular way, but He promises to go with me. And as hard as it may be, His yoke is easy, His burden light, and His way will always be worth it...

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” ~ Matthew‬ ‭7:13-14‬

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” ~ Matthew‬ ‭11:28-30
