When it isn't easy



If you are going through a dry place in your walk with the Lord, feel like you’re not good enough to share His love with others, aren’t ready yet to share the gospel, or it’s not “your gift”, you’ll just leave it to others, I want to tell you-press on! Read the Bible even when you don’t feel like you’re getting anything out of it, pray even when you don’t “feel the Holy Spirit”, worship with all you have. God will bless you with His presence and break these walls down.  The way I have come through the lowest points in my spiritual walk, is through sharing what I believe with others. Even as you’re questioning, you can tell others of your faith.  This will build you up and answer those questions that have been hidden deep in your heart, out of the sight of others, because you want to appear to be a “good Christian”.  Something someone said that totally changed the way I look at these questions we face as Christians was, “It’s good you’re questioning your faith, if you weren’t, you’d be content where you are, but if you question and seek answers from God, you’ll grow.”  As Christians we should never be content where we are in Christ.  Keep striving to become more Christ like every day!

Outcry Tour 2016





What: We believe that the “the next big thing” is here. It’s always been here. The local church. And there is no greater movement to give your life to than the powerful, worldwide movement that begins at the local churches in your city.
For years, the OUTCRY team has been praying and dreaming about doing something to encourage the local church. After meeting with pastors and worship artists all over the country, one thing emerged: the tired and discouraged state of the local church. A loss of perspective on the true impact of the local body of Christ.
In 2015 God made it clear that OUTCRY was to be a tour. And the momentum built. Many churches and worship artists joined OC on the road and God did amazing things. 120,000 attended. Thousands gave their lives to Jesus. And arenas were filled with the sound of the church singing to Jesus.
Second only to his own glory, Jesus cares deeply for the church. He calls it his bride. He calls it his body. Every church. Every bible study. Every corner of the earth where people meet in the name of Jesus is included. Every local church plays a significant role in the global movement of Jesus.
The next chapter of Church history is being written and we are at the center of it. And we are louder when we are together.

“The thing that is the most special about outcry is that is it about unifying the church….Once the church unites around what we stand for and not against there is so much power in what Jesus can do about that.”—JD- Hillsong United

“There is something really powerful about unity and the walls coming down and all of us just getting in the same space to lift up Jesus that’s pretty special. Jesus even prayed for that in scripture in John 17. Jesus prayed for the church to come together to unify He said when that happens that people will know that Jesus has come from God as the Savior of the world.” –Kristian Stanfill- Passion

“The number one thing we want to see every day and every night is that people walk away with Jesus as the biggest thing that happened to them that night not a song not a group, not a person, but Jesus.” – Kari Jobe

Lord, Build Your Kingdom Here


I find it so incredibly humbling that God uses us, such unworthy vessels to share His message of Love to others. It is our call as Christians to pray for our country and put our faith in action. 

“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” –Psalm 96:3

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14

“Build Your kingdom here
Let the darkness fear
Show Your mighty hand
Heal our streets and land
Set Your church on fire
Win this nation back
Change the atmosphere
Build Your kingdom here
We pray” –Rend Collective Build Your Kingdom Here
