Reflections from the Road

Every time I see people along the road, I’m moved with compassion. Everybody is fighting a battle—against the enemy, against the flesh, within their relationships, at their jobs, and sometimes within their own minds.

That is why our faith cannot become a relic—something we keep tucked away in a closet and occasionally pull out on Sunday. Faith is not merely a tradition we inherited or a label we wear. Our faith is supposed to be functional. It should shape our attitudes, guide our decisions, and transform the way we respond to one another.

Faith should move.

When Faith Reaches Our Relationships

It saddens me whenever a marriage falls apart, but it especially grieves me when it happens within the body of Christ. Marriage is one of our most intimate relationships. It should be one of the first places where the transforming work of God becomes visible.

There should be no place in a Christian marriage for abuse, cruelty, unfaithfulness, manipulation, bitterness, or a refusal to forgive. Those things should never be excused or hidden behind religious language. When we allow God’s Word to work within our hearts, it begins producing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Paul clearly contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit:

“The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.” — Galatians 5:19–21

But then he writes:

“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” — Galatians 5:22–23

The works of the flesh reveal what life looks like when our desires are controlling us. The fruit of the Spirit shows what begins to grow when we allow God to lead us.

That fruit should reach the people closest to us first. Our spouses and children should not receive the leftovers of our faith. They should experience its fruit.

Learning to Walk

Living by faith does not mean we will never stumble.

Like a baby learning to walk, sometimes we fall. Sometimes we stumble. Sometimes we may feel as though we are still crawling. But crawling is not our nature.

A snake crawls because that is what it was created to do. But sons and daughters of God were created to walk with Him. When we fall, we do not remain on the ground. We return to the Father, receive His grace, and learn to walk again.

“Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again.” — Proverbs 24:16

That is one of the differences between the child of God and the enemy. The devil is committed to rebellion, destruction, and deception. We may stumble, become misaligned, or make terrible mistakes—but through repentance, we can return to God.

David sinned deeply, but when he was confronted, he repented. He returned to God with a broken and contrite heart. That is why Scripture could still describe him as a man after God’s own heart—not because David was perfect, but because his heart could still be brought back into alignment with God.

Our failures do not have to become our identity. By God’s grace, we can get back up.

A Faith That Moves

“Making Faith Mobile” is more than a phrase on our website or a banner on our RV. It is a calling.

This journey can be frightening. It is not for people who only want cultural Christianity—a faith limited to attending church, following familiar customs, or maintaining a respectable appearance.

It is for people who truly want to see God, know His heart, and follow Him wherever He leads.

It is for those who are willing to put Christ above their preferences, Christ above their culture, and His Kingdom above their comfort.

But this is not rigid religion. It is a relationship rooted in the realization that God has already given us more grace and love than we could ever deserve. Everything we have ultimately comes from Him. The fact that I am here, breathing and able to speak these words, is a blessing.

Therefore, I want to use every blessing God has given me to honor Him. I want to bless my family, my community, and every place where God allows me to set my feet.

That is how we make faith mobile.

We remember who blessed us in the first place. We remember who gave us the strength and mobility to move. Then we aim those blessings back toward God by directing them toward others through kindness, service, generosity, compassion, and testimony.

Keep Testifying

In our daily Bible reading, I was reminded of Paul’s words:

“My only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” — Acts 20:24

That is also the ministry God has given us: to finish our race and testify to the good news of His grace.

You may see the word TESTIFY on our RV, on our shirts, or in the background of our videos. That is what we are doing. It may not always appear significant, but it matters more than we realize.

Your voice matters.

The words God has placed in your mouth can encourage someone who is ready to give up. Your testimony can help another person recognize that they are not alone. Your story can show someone that the same God who carried you can carry them too.

So, please—do not stop testifying.
