You have already said yes to the calling. Your life is invested in helping children and families have a personal relationship with Jesus.
But somewhere between the responsibilities, the tasks, the problems to solve, and the constant rhythm of ministry, it is possible to become so focused on the work God has called us to do that we neglect the work He longs to do in us.
Throughout Scripture, this is the pattern we see. Before God’s people testified of His greatness, they encountered it. Before they spoke about His faithfulness, they experienced it. Before their lives pointed others to Him, they were transformed by His presence.
Living UNASHAMED begins here.
Remember who God is and what He has done.
Living UNASHAMED begins by knowing the greatness, goodness, and faithfulness of God. Before we can faithfully tell His story, we must continually return to it ourselves.
Know His character
Know His faithfulness
Know His Word
Know the Gospel you have received
Remain in Christ and let your life become the evidence.
As we remember and remain in Christ, our lives become living proof of His transforming work. What He does in us becomes the testimony He tells through us.
Be formed by Jesus
Live rooted in Christ
Lead from transformation
Let ordinary faithfulness become witness
Speak from what you have experienced.
We do not carry forward an abstract idea. We tell of the God whose faithfulness we have encountered for ourselves.
Tell of His greatness
Commend His works to another generation
Share what you have experienced
Let your faithfulness become an inheritance
One generation
Tells the next
The story reaches you
Now you carry it forward
The story we have received becomes the story we get to faithfully carry forward. Our faithfulness is someone else’s inheritance.
Psalm 145:3–7, NIV
— A call to do more
— Another ministry strategy
— Pressure to perform
— Pretending leadership is easy
— Having every answer
✓ Remaining close to Jesus
✓ Being continually formed by Him
✓ Living rooted in the Gospel
✓ Letting your life point to His faithfulness
✓ Carrying His story forward with boldness
Living UNASHAMED is not a ministry strategy or a call to do more. It is about living so closely with Jesus that we are continually being formed by Him.
Lives rooted in Christ transform ordinary faithfulness into extraordinary witness.
Living so closely with Jesus that His transforming work becomes visible in us. Remembering the story we have received. Remaining faithful in the present. Carrying the Gospel forward so another generation can know, live, and tell of His greatness.
