We love to draw lines.
Sacred here. Secular there.
Sunday here. Monday there.
But Scripture never divided life that way.
It gave me one heart to live with.
One story to tell.
When I gather with the church, Christ is there.
When I sit at my desk, He is there.
When I’m at home with my family or in a stadium with friends,
He hasn’t gone anywhere.
Faith was never meant to be a separate compartment.
It’s not something I step into and out of.
It’s the thread that runs through everything I am.
That doesn’t mean I stop being human.
I laugh.
I cheer.
I rest.
I enjoy the good things God gives.
Because if people only see me as serious or against everything,
they’ll never see the joy of Christ in me.
And joy is a witness too.
Still, I know how easy it is to blend in.
To stay quiet when conviction might cost something.
To hold back when the crowd goes a different way.
I’ve done that.
But Christ never told me to fit in.
He told me to follow Him.
And that calling doesn’t change with my location or my company.
He’s in the ordinary moments.
In the boardroom and the backyard.
In conversations, in commutes, in quiet mornings before the day begins.
Paul said it best:
“Whatever you do, in word or deed,
do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Colossians 3:17)
One life.
One Lord.
One witness.
Everywhere I go.
