Weekly Pursuit 22 - Take the Next Step

Published 15 days ago • 1 min read

WEEKLY PURSUIT with Ryan

Helping you pursue God, people, and purpose - one step at a time.

Hey friend,

What if the thing you’re waiting for isn’t more clarity?

What if it’s faith?

Joseph had a dream from God, but he had no idea how it would happen. He couldn’t see the pit, the prison, or the palace. He just knew God had given him something worth believing in.

That’s the thing about faith.

Faith is an internal decision that leads to an external position that can have eternal power.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to know how God is going to do it. You don’t even have to feel ready.

You just have to trust Him enough to take the next step.

Maybe there’s something God has been putting on your heart that you’ve been talking yourself out of. A dream. A calling. A conversation. A step of obedience. Something that feels bigger than you.

Don’t let fear decide what faith is allowed to look like.

You may not know where the next step will lead. But you know who is leading you.

So take the step. Trust God. Dream bigger. And see what He can do with your yes.

Praying,
Ryan

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

WEEKLY PURSUIT with Ryan Helping you pursue God, people, and purpose - one step at a time. ryanspencerlutz.com Hey friend, Over the past few weeks as a church, we have been diving into a series called "Faith It." We've been studying the life of Joseph (in Genesis) and his journey toward becoming the second most influential person of his time. It's been a fun journey so far (and we're just getting started - WOO!). One thing that I wanted to establish as we began this series is defining the...

WEEKLY PURSUIT with Ryan Helping you pursue God, people, and purpose - one step at a time. ryanspencerlutz.com Hey friend, You don’t have to stand on a stage to make a difference. You just have to be willing to shine where God has placed you. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14) Notice He didn’t say you might become the light someday. He said you are the light. If you belong to Jesus, His light is already at work in you. The question is whether the people around you...

I mean all of it. Why are we here? What are we actually supposed to spend our lives doing? We fill our calendars, build careers, raise families, chase goals, make money, take vacations, watch another season of our favorite show, scroll way too long on our phones, and somehow hope that somewhere in the...
