  • If It’s Easy, You’re Doing It Wrong

    As I look through scripture, following God was never easy. There were always obstacles. There was always opposition. It seems that following Jesus often comes too easy for many of us. Little sacrifice. Little push back. Little trust required. The conclusion I’ve come to… We’re doing it wrong. Jesus said in John 16:33 that we…

  • From My Journal – God LOVES Me!

    While I try to be as transparent as possible on this blog, it’s not often that I share something directly from my heart and raw in nature. But, I wanted to take a second and share something that I wrote in my personal spiritual journal a few days ago. I think that many of you,…

    1. Who’s your favorite Late Night T.V. host ever? 2. Diet or Regular? 3. What’s one thing your Mom or someone else close to you always told you that you will always remember? 4. What was the best part of your week?

  • People of Uncommon

    I want to try something a little different. Instead of me writing a post with the idea that we will become people of greater and uncommon faith, I want to honor someone that you see as having uncommon faith. Here’s what you do. Send me an email to JonathanFPearson@gmail.com (LINK) telling me about someone of…

    I’m pretty young. I don’t have a ton of experience behind me. I haven’t been through all the wars yet. BUT, I have been through some. Some really tough ones. Here are 2 leadership principles that are really kind of elementary, but that we often forget. 1. The People Matter. There are no exceptions. When…
