“Follow Jesus” is one of the most overused and least explained phrases in Christianity. For many people, it sounds vague, emotional, or performative—something you say, not something you actually do.

There’s a lot of pain in the world right now. I see it when I'm working at the Food Pantry or when I'm talking with friends or people I work with. For many, it feels like the walls are closing in, families struggling to afford food with SNAP funding halted, seniors on fixed incomes watching prices climb higher every month, and hardworking people wondering how they’ll make it through another week. And then there are the battles no policy can fix. like when someone you love is told they have cancer and there’s nothing more the doctors can do. Read more
Many people claim to be Christians. They go to church, know the hymns, can quote a verse or two. But Jesus made it clear, not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter heaven.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.”

My daughter and I traveled to Batey 7 in the Dominican Republic, a small village near the Haitian border where families live with very little—scarce electricity, shared water, and simple homes. Despite the poverty, the children overflowed with joy, and their faith was strong and genuine. Serving together changed both of us, teaching us that true happiness comes from relationships, gratitude, and trust in God. It was a life-changing experience we will never forget.

That experience got me thinking: walking with God is a lot like using a GPS.
