Footstep Ministry PodcastsThe More Excellent Way: Episode 4 Marriage Beyond the MotionsThe first step is to let go. Let go of trying to do it all on your own. Let go of the pressure to fix everything. Instead, lean into God’s love for you. Trust Him. When you do that, you’re opening the door for Him to step in and do what only He can do—in your life and in your marriage. It’s not about striving; it’s about surrendering.

Footstep Ministry PodcastsThe More Excellent Way: Episode 3 Creating Safe Space in MarriageCreating a safe space builds trust, deepens intimacy, and paves the way for more romance. When your spouse feels secure and valued, they’re more likely to open their heart to you emotionally and physically. Vulnerability becomes a gift rather than a risk, leading to a deeper emotional bond. This emotional closeness naturally spills into physical affection, creating a marriage that is not only strong but also joyful and passionate. When safety and trust are present, love thrives, and both partners experience the fullness of the relationship God designed for them.

Footstep Ministry PodcastsThe More Excellent Way: Episode 2 Marriage on MissionSo, what does it truly mean for a couple to be on mission together?

It’s the reason you get up in the morning and the vision that shapes your future.

Footstep Ministry Podcasts11-18-2024 Stage PresenceWorship is not about us. It’s not about how we look, how we sound, or how polished we are. Worship is about pointing people to Jesus. But here’s the reality—when you’re on stage, people are watching you. They’re looking to you for guidance, for leadership, and for an example of what it means to worship wholeheartedly. Your stage presence matters because it sets the tone for the congregation. If you’re disengaged, they’ll feel it. But if you’re fully present, fully engaged, and worshiping with authenticity, they’ll follow your lead."

In doing so, our "sanctuary" transforms into a lighthouse.

Rub shoulders with one another. Spur one another on in the faith. Celebrate the goodness of God, and make him famous.The glowing embers of each micro church join in celebration. The Holy Spirit fans the flame and soon there is roaring revival fire.
