The Other Side of Greater (Blog Post)

-

This past week was a week of expectation. For the first time in a while, I was expecting greater. Not hoping, not wishing, not daydreaming—I was expecting it. And that’s a different type of faith. Expectation makes you sit up a little taller. It makes you clear space for what’s coming. It makes you move like you know something good is about to break through.

But let me be real—expectation isn’t always easy. It’s a fight. It means choosing to believe in greater even when life still looks like less. It means preparing for doors to open when all you’ve seen lately are walls. It means waking up each morning and telling doubt, fear, and frustration, “I hear you, but I’m still moving forward.” Because when you expect greater, you don’t just sit around waiting—you start making room for what’s on the way.

And making room is uncomfortable. It requires clearing out the clutter—mindsets that don’t serve you, patterns that keep you stuck, people who only know the old version of you and can’t handle the next version of you. Greater is going to require some shifts. Some uncomfortable yeses and some necessary nos. But here’s the good news: on the other side of that shifting is everything you’ve been praying for.

This week, we are diving into The Other Side of Greater. We’re talking about what it looks like to move forward when fear is pulling you back. We’re breaking down what it means to trust God fully—not just when it’s convenient, not just when it makes sense, but even in the middle of the unknown. We’re stepping boldly into the promises that we already know belong to us.

So get ready. This is not the week to shrink back. This is not the week to settle. This is not the week to let old fears rob you of new opportunities. You’ve been through too much, grown too much, healed too much to sit on the edge of greater and not step into it. The other side is waiting. Are you ready?

I’ll see you tomorrow for Day One. Let’s go get what’s ours.

Clear the Room: Make Space for Purpose - Day Two

Day 2: Surrender the Weight Scripture : Hebrews 12:1 (NIV) — "Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Devotional : I once heard someone describe life as running a race with bags strapped to your back. Each bag represented something different—fear, shame, insecurity, and bitterness. Some were small and easy to carry, but others felt like stones. That image stuck with me because I know what it’s like to feel weighed down. If I’m honest, there have been seasons when I held onto things I knew God was asking me to release. A grudge I couldn’t let go of. The pressure to meet everyone’s expectations. The guilt of mistakes I couldn’t forgive myself for. I told myself I needed to carry these things, but deep down, I knew they were slowing me down. God doesn’t call us to run weighed down. He calls us to run free. The moment I decided to surrender those weights to Him, something shifted....

Prioritizing His Presence Devotion - Day 2: Choosing What Matters

  Scripture: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." — Matthew 6:33 Devotional: Have you ever had one of those days where you’re running on fumes? The kind where you’ve said “yes” to everything and everyone, leaving nothing left for yourself? I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit—serving, working, striving—thinking that if I just do enough, I’ll feel fulfilled. But let me tell you something I’ve learned: Fulfillment doesn’t come from doing. It comes from being. When I think about Matthew 6:33, I’m reminded of the simplicity of Jesus’ words: Seek first the kingdom of God. That’s it. He didn’t say, “Seek success first” or “Seek approval first.” He didn’t even say, “Seek doing more first.” Just, “Seek first the kingdom.” Mary understood this. While Martha was busy doing good things—things that seemed important—Mary chose the better thing. She chose to sit with Jesus, prioritize Him, and trust that everyt...

Clear the Room: Make Space for Purpose - Day Three

  Day 3: Cultivate the Right Atmosphere Scripture : Philippians 4:8 (NIV) — "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. " Devotional : A few years ago, I had to take a hard look at the environment I was creating for myself. I was doing all the "right" things—reading my Bible, praying, going to church—but my atmosphere didn’t reflect what I was believing God for. My playlist didn’t sound like worship, my conversations didn’t speak life, and the people I surrounded myself with weren’t fueling my purpose. It was no wonder I felt stuck. God began to challenge me: What are you allowing to fill your space? I realized that purpose doesn’t just require clearing the room; it requires filling it with the right things. Like Jesus when He brought only the faith-filled people into Jairus’ house, I had to be i...
