This Sunday is Back to Church Sunday at Transformation Church, and it’s also a special Testimony Sunday you won’t want to miss! 🙌

Misty Reese will be sharing her powerful story — a real journey of faith, perseverance, and transformation. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life, you’ve drifted away for a while, or you’re simply curious (and maybe even a little skeptical), this Sunday is for you.

You don’t need to have all the answers or “get it all right” to show up. Just come as you are. You might be surprised by how one person’s story can speak to your own.

📅 Sunday, October 19, 2025
🕥 10:30 A.M.
📍 4869 Scotsdale Rd, House Springs, MO 63051

Let’s get back to church together. ❤️

Grow or Go 🌱

I was once challenged over 38 years ago, early in my spiritual awakening, with a question that has stayed with me ever since: “You’re either going to grow or you’re going to go. What’s your choice going to be?”

That question changed the way I approached life and growth. Because the truth is, growth isn’t automatic—it’s intentional. One of the biggest obstacles to growing is trying to look like we already know everything. When we cling to appearing smart, we actually block ourselves from becoming smarter.

Real growth requires humility. It’s about being willing to ask questions, to admit what you don’t know, and to remain teachable. The person who chooses to keep learning will always outgrow the one who keeps pretending.

So if the choice is to grow or to go—choose growth. Stay curious. Stay humble. Keep learning. That’s how you grow and not go.

“If you are green, you are growing. If you are ripe, you are rotting.” — Mother Teresa

What you focus on grows. When you keep replaying pain in your mind, it towers over everything and blocks out the light. But tucked deep inside, there are also seeds of joy and peace—waiting for a chance to rise. Every time you pause to notice something beautiful, or choose kindness, you’re giving life to what’s meant to bloom. Be intentional about what you water with your attention.

When it comes to spiritual transformation, don’t wait around for others to join you or validate the journey—just start walking the path. Over time, as you stay faithful to the process, the right people with the same heart and vision will find their way to you.

I’ve learned that this principle applies far beyond just faith—it’s true in nearly every area of life.

Today I had the privilege of officiating the funeral of a fine man, Donald Haley. The service was beautiful, and afterward we made our way to Jefferson Barracks Cemetery.

The Army Military Honor Guard performed the flag ceremony with precision and reverence. The solemn shots fired after Taps were played never lose their power—each time they move me to tears. The careful unfolding and folding of the flag, and the presentation to the family, is always a deeply spiritual and profoundly moving moment. It touches not only me, but everyone present.

I also want to express my sincere gratitude to all the dedicated staff at Jefferson Barracks Cemetery for the care and excellence with which they serve families every day. And from the depths of my heart, thank you to every man and woman who has served in our nation’s military—past, present, and future—for your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to freedom.
