There’s a quiet truth the Lord has been impressing on my heart: You can’t save the world, dear one. You can’t even carry it. But you can release it to the only One who can. This is the heart of benevolent detachment—a sacred act of trust, not abandonment. It is, as Augustine said, a way to “empty ourselves of all that fills us, so that we may be filled with what we are empty of.” We do this not in anger or apathy, but in love and faith.

🛐 Today’s 24-Hour Prayer Lord Jesus, Go before those who will gather for the Godly Homes, Safe Blocks Vision Gathering on Thursday, May 15, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. CST in the Multi-Purpose Room at St. Marcus Lutheran Church.

In just 72 hours, I’ll step in front of eight leaders at St. Marcus Lutheran Church and speak the vision God placed on my heart: Godly Homes. Safe Blocks. But long before words fill the room, surrender fills my heart. Not my strength. Not my strategy. Just this: Everything I have. Everyone I love. Every word I’ll say—I give to Christ. Romans 12:1“Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”

Pastor Samuel has always believed in two unshakable truths: He is a citizen of heaven first (Philippians 3:20). He must live out that citizenship in a broken world. He’s worn the cross around his neck for decades, but he’s also worn invisible scars. Scars of injustice. Of racism. Of riots and silence. Of church pews half-empty when they should have been marching, and streets full of noise when the Word was left unopened. And still, he walks.

The Way of the Cross Your voice, Lord, I hear—Send me where Your mercy flows.Truth and love shall lead.   Dear Beloved Jesus24365 Ministry Family, What would it look like if the Church woke up not just to survive—but to advance? Not to be safe—but to be sent?  Not to be admired—but to proclaim?   This past Saturday at St. Marcus Lutheran Church, Pastor James delivered a Word that didn’t just inform the mind—it ignited the soul.

This one is different. 🔬 Science, Struggle, and the Savior: Dr. Z’s Quiet Revolution Years ago, before Christ transformed his worldview, Dr. Zachery was a legend in academic circles but a ghost in the lives of his students.
