This Broken World
Opening Message
There’s something stirring in me, something I believe God is calling me to build. A ministry rooted in restoration. A space for broken people to find healing, truth, and freedom through the power of storytelling and the Word.
But before I move, I’ve learned to pause.
I’ve made decisions in the past from excitement. From pain. From pressure. But not this time. This time, I need clarity that only God can give. So I’ve been sitting still. Praying. Meditating on His Word.
This issue is my pause. My whisper. My prayer:
“Lord, if this is You, I’ll go. But if it’s just me, shut it all down.”
Nehemiah came to mind. A man who saw brokenness, felt a burden, and instead of jumping into action, he stopped and prayed. He wept. He waited. He fasted. Then, and only then, did he move.
That’s where I am.
I’m not building to be seen. I’m not moving to make noise. I just want to walk in obedience, and if this is God, He’ll lead the way.
Featured Scripture & Teaching
“As soon as I heard these words, I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.” — Nehemiah 1:4 (ESV)
When Nehemiah heard that the walls of Jerusalem were broken down and its gates burned with fire, he didn’t jump to fix it. He didn’t form a plan or gather a team right away.
He wept.
He mourned.
He fasted.
He prayed.
Nehemiah felt the weight of brokenness so deeply that it moved him to sit still in God’s presence before doing anything else.
That’s the kind of heart I’m seeking right now.
I’ve been feeling a burden, not for bricks and gates like Nehemiah, but for people. For those who are hurting, forgotten, or just trying to piece their lives back together. And I keep hearing this whisper in my soul: “Build something that restores.”
But I’m not Nehemiah, and I’m not here to pretend I have it all figured out. I’m just a man who’s been redeemed, trying to move with intention. So before I take another step, I’m doing what Nehemiah did. I’m fasting. Praying. Asking God to build the vision in me before I ever try to build it out there.
Because this isn’t about a platform or a product, it’s about people. And it’s about being obedient to the One who placed this burden in my heart to begin with.
Why I Can’t Ignore the Broken
Have you ever looked around, I mean really looked?
Not just with your eyes, but with your heart wide open.
Because if you do, you’ll see it.
This world is broken.
Our communities are bleeding in silence.
Not always loud, not always on the news,
But the pain is there. And ignoring it won’t make it disappear.
I see it every day.
I see boys, babies, with nothing but a street corner and a dream that dies before it starts.
I see young men chasing worth in gang signs, guns, and dollar bills that vanish faster than hope.
I see little girls taught to sell their beauty before they understand their value.
I see women used up, bodies for sale, hearts barely holding on,
Loved only when it’s convenient,
Or feared when they fight back.
Some of them wear bruises the world never asks about.
And then there’s the forgotten, the ones locked up and left behind.
I’m not talking about guilt or innocence.
I’m talking about souls.
And let me say this loud:
God hasn’t given up on them…
And neither will I.
Because when Jesus walked this earth,
He didn’t avoid the broken, He ran to them.
And now, I can’t shake it.
There’s a fire in me.
To write. To speak. To show them there’s another way.
To remind the unseen that Heaven sees them.
So if you’re wondering why I want to build this ministry,
Why I can’t stay quiet,
Why I care so deeply…
It’s because I’ve seen what happens when no one shows up.
And I refuse to let that be the story.
This is the narrow path.
Not flashy. Not easy.
But if one kid chooses purpose instead of prison,
If one woman finds worth beyond a price tag,
If one man behind bars finds Jesus…
Then it’s worth it.
Every journal. Every story. Every step of obedience.
Let’s build something that carries His Spirit,
Not just our ambition.
Because the world doesn’t need another brand.
It needs bold believers
Willing to be there.
I’m willing.
Are you?
