It took me eight years to internalize this truth—so let’s not waste another eight minutes.

God doesn’t just show up when it’s easy—He stands with you in the breaking. He’s not captivated by how impressive your dream looks on paper. He’s moved by the cost of your yes.

Until we learn to walk in radical dependency—not control, not polished self-sufficiency, not performance masked as purpose—we will stay stuck. Stuck chasing mountaintops. Shrinking back from valleys. Living half-alive when we were called to live fully surrendered. But the invitation is now.

It’s in the surrender

It’s in the stillness.

It’s in the sacred stretch where everything changes—where the deeper revelation unfolds:

God is not intimidated by your valley. And He doesn’t just celebrate your summit—He reigns sovereign over both. This isn’t just a message for you to admire or listen to, it’s a reality to step into.

And the time is now.

1. Bold Dreams Demand Bold Dependency

This isn't about accumulating bigger dreams. It's about learning to dream more boldly—which is something altogether different. The world will endlessly package ambition as purpose, but God isn't after your achievements.

He's after a deeper yes. A yes that costs. A yes forged in fire. A yes that doesn’t hinge on perfect circumstances.

Boldness isn't the absence of fear. It’s the decision to move forward even while fear screams for retreat.

When God says, "Write the book," and your insecurity hisses, "But You don't know who I am,"—that’s the birthplace of boldness. When He says, "Fight for your marriage," and you protest, "But You don't know who I'm married to,"—that’s where courage is born.

And that kind of boldness doesn’t emerge from self-confidence—it flows from the deep well of dependency on Him. Dependency isn't weakness—it’s divine alignment. It's the sacred posture that says, "God, without You, I am undone."

And when you finally relinquish the burden to orchestrate it all, you create room for the miraculous. That’s when your yes becomes more than a choice—it becomes the conduit of your calling.

2. The World Urges You to Hide—God Invites You to Heal

We are all profoundly needy creatures. The question is not whether we have needs—it’s where we run with them. The enemy is cunning, whispering seductive lies: "You're not enough."

"You're too much." "You don’t belong here." And so, we reach for counterfeit remedies— money, status, distraction, performance—to numb what only God was fashioned to fulfill.

Meanwhile, Christ stands in the middle of our frenzy, whispering still, "Our Father dwelling in the heavenly realms, may the glory of Your name be the center on which our lives turn. Manifest Your kingdom and cause every purpose to be fulfilled on earth just as it is in heaven…"
(Matthew 6:9-10).

He is not beckoning your polished persona. He’s not impressed with your curated image. He’s asking for your raw, unedited need.

And the astonishing part? He already knows what you're carrying. And He still says—come.

You don’t need to sanitize your wounds before you approach the throne. You simply need to bring your brokenness to the One whose very nature is to bind and to heal. He is greater than the highs and the lows because He meets you precisely where you need Him most—and offers not condemnation but covering.

3. The Lows Don’t Disqualify You—They Forge You

We are so quick to believe that failure disqualifies us. That struggle defines us. That disappointment diminishes us. But nothing could be further from the truth.

The valley isn't your disqualification—it’s your consecration. Some live satisfied with barely enough energy to stumble through the day, but God desires to fortify your inner being with strength that transcends human limitation.

Romans 8:19 reminds us, "For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed." You are not simply surviving your valley—you are becoming in it. That silent stretch where you feel forgotten? That ache that won't relent? That sense of standing still while the world moves on? It’s not your demise—it’s your deep becoming.

Strength doesn’t always thunder. Sometimes it whispers: "I’m still here." And God, more faithful than your fears, is still there too. The deeper you go into the valley with Him, the greater the heights He will entrust to you when the time comes.

4. Peace Is Not the Absence of Struggle—It’s the Presence of God

We’ve been conditioned to equate peace with the absence of pressure. When the bills are paid, when the diagnosis changes, when the chaos settles—then, we think, peace will finally come. But real peace is not circumstantial. It’s supernatural. It speaks of a reality that transcends understanding, a deep anchoring that doesn’t make human sense.

Peace isn’t found in your surroundings. It’s found in your surrender. It’s not the absence of noise. It’s the awareness of Presence.

When you realize that peace is not a destination but a Person, you stop striving for temporary calm and start abiding in unshakable communion. True peace doesn’t require the storm to end— it simply requires Christ to be near. And He always is.

5. His Power Is Perfectly Timed

It’s easy to feel like we’ve missed it. Like we were late to the calling. Like we disqualified ourselves from the promise.

But the truth? You are standing exactly where God needs you for what He’s unfolding now. Delay doesn’t diminish His power. He doesn’t ration or reserve his grace.

It’s explosive. Divine. Immediate. Right on time.

God is not the God of barely enough. He is the God of overflow. Not one second has He been late.

Not one moment has He lost sight of you. His power doesn’t respond to your timetable—it reigns in alignment with His perfect will. So whether you're standing at the summit or gasping for breath in the valley—His power is active, available, and more than sufficient.

Final Thoughts

This is the message I’m carrying into boardrooms, churches, retreats, and leadership gatherings across the country in 2025: God is greater than the highs and the lows.

We don't need bigger plans. We need deeper yeses.

We don't need better strategies. We need bold dependency.

If you’re ready to awaken the weary, reignite the brokenhearted, and call people back to the place where true strength is found—let’s partner together.

Book me to speak before 2025 fills up. Because this isn’t about chasing more. It’s about living anchored in Him.

Step Into the Dare to Dream Experience

What if dreaming wasn't about building your life?

What if it was about surrendering it?

The Dare to Dream Experience is where striving ends and Spirit-led living begins.

It’s about awakening what Heaven already spoke over you—and learning to walk it out boldly, fully dependent on God’s strength, not your own.

This isn’t another motivational workshop.

It’s an encounter designed to set you free to dream with the One who crafted you for a purpose.

Big Moves Start with Bold Yeses

Real breakthroughs don’t happen by planning harder.

It happens by saying yes when God calls you into deeper water.

See where I'm speaking next.

Because sometimes one word from God can change everything.

Rise into What Heaven Has Spoken

The Arise + Align course isn’t about achieving more.

It’s about becoming who you already are in Christ. If you're tired of striving and ready to live from an anchored place of freedom, it's time. Time to arise. Time to align. Time to move, not by your might—but by His Spirit.

Because the world isn’t waiting for your next plan. It’s waiting for you to stand fully alive in Him.
