When life feels scattered and broken, God doesn’t just fix everything for us. He calls us to build. Inspired by Pastor Jentezen Franklin’s message at the CMN Conference, this reflection challenges us to pick up our tools, step into faith, and start rebuilding what the enemy has tried to tear down.

There’s a lot of sickness going around, and our household has not escaped it. It seems like it has been lingering, moving from one person to the next. While I have managed to avoid most of it, I may be dealing with a bit of a cough myself.

It’s frustrating to be slowed down when there’s so much to do. But sickness has a way of reminding us of something we often forget: We are not invincible.

We live in a fallen world where sickness and weakness are part of life. I’m not saying God caused this sickness, but I do know this: in every season, even the ones we wouldn’t choose, He is present, and He is faithful.
