praise God for the honor of being called a Christian (1 Peter 4:16)
Street Life, Jesus Vibes
Here’s what living for Jesus looks like in the streets: It’s not just about what you say, it’s about how you live every day. When you roll with Jesus, you’re repping love, truth, and grace. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being real, owning your mistakes, and letting Him guide your steps.
Forgive, even when it’s tough. Show love, even to those who don’t deserve it. Jesus loved us when we were at our worst, so we’ve got to reflect that same love out here. See someone struggling? Lift them up. See someone lost? Point them in the right direction—straight to the One who’s got all the answers.
Temptations are everywhere, but with Jesus, you’ve got the strength to say ‘no’ to the streets pulling you the wrong way. You’re different now—His Spirit lives in you. That means you have peace when things are crazy and joy even when life isn’t going your way. You don’t move like everyone else because you’re on a mission, living with purpose.
And when you mess up—because you will—don’t stay down. Get back up, ask for forgiveness, and keep moving forward. Jesus already covered it all.
In the end, it’s simple: Live with love, keep it real, and stay close to God. You’re here to shine light in dark places. Let people see the difference in you—because you’re living for more than just today. You’re living for eternity.
The Hustle for Christ:
Bible, Crew, and Perseverance
Bible Studies
Bible studies are like blueprint sessions. You can’t build a strong life without knowing the plan, and the Bible is that plan. When you dive into Scripture, you’re learning how to live, move, and handle life. It’s your daily dose of wisdom straight from God. You connect with others, read the Word, and figure out how to apply it in real life. It’s not just sitting around reading; it’s about getting equipped with truth so that when life hits hard, you know how to fight back.
Meeting with Other Christians
You can’t do this walk alone. Meeting up with other Christians is like rolling with your crew—you need people who’ve got your back and help keep you on track. You encourage each other, call out the things that aren’t right, and push one another to stay strong in faith. Whether it’s at Sunday service, a small group, or just over coffee talking about life, it’s all about building each other up and staying sharp.
Discipleship
Discipleship is like being mentored in following Jesus. Someone more experienced in the faith shows you how to walk it out, and then you pass it down to someone else. It’s like training—you learn, you grow, and then you go teach the next person. It’s not just learning facts, it’s doing life together, showing someone how to follow Jesus in every move they make. It’s about leveling up in your faith and helping others level up too.
Perseverance
Life is going to hit you with challenges—hard times, doubts, and people coming at you. But when you’re living for Jesus, perseverance means you don’t quit. You keep pushing, keep grinding, even when things get tough. Jesus didn’t promise an easy life, but He promised He’d be with you through the storm. You hold on to that, keep your head up, and keep running the race no matter what obstacles come your way.
Evangelism
Evangelism is spreading the Word and letting people know about Jesus. It’s not about preaching at people—it’s about sharing the hope you’ve found. The streets are full of people looking for something real, and if you’ve found that in Jesus, you need to share it. It could be through a conversation, offering a helping hand, or living so differently that people start asking what’s up. You’ve got good news—don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with your friends, your neighborhood, anyone who’ll listen.
In the end, it’s about community, growth, and repping Jesus wherever you go. This isn’t just a Sunday thing—it’s life 24/7, through the grind, the struggles, and the good times. Stay connected, stay strong, and keep shining that light.
Get involved
Regarding involvement, I also mean for you to go out and share the good news with somebody.
