Prayer Request.

So I’m speaking at a few spots in California soon. 

And I’m currently in Panera doing some message prep for it. 

First off, I’m super stoked to be able to continue to speak, but as I continue on the path of speaking, I can’t help but become more and more humbled within the process. Mainly because the more I prepare the more I realize how little control I have to change the students and leaders lives who will be hearing what I have to say.

I mean I can tell an emotional story and make them cry.

Ask the band to strum slowly behind me to create an emotional high. 

Get them amped up for a week or so (if I’m lucky it’ll last that long).

But when it comes down to changing their lives. I have no control over that. Again, I can create a temporary emotional high but have no ability to cause a permanent spiritual transformation. 

It’s all up to God. 

Thats why it’s humbling… Which is why I pray. Adamantly. Which is why I’m writing this right now. I’m speaking at 7 different locations around southern California. Some of which are public high schools, some of which I know there will be students who, yes have heard of Jesus but do not know Jesus. 

Please pray that God would move, that God would speak, and that God would continue to do great things…
