Grow your faith. Expand your horizon.

Chapter One is centered around the concept of forward movement and new beginnings. None of us can afford to play it safe. We don’t have to be trapped in the boxes that life, other people, and our own decisions created for us. It's time to break out, shed the old narrative, and move forward. 

A Note from me to you

In November 2023, I sat in bed with a tear-stained face and a broken heart. My comfort zone had become a barren wasteland. For much of my life, I felt stuck. I found myself tethered to painful experiences, held hostage to the past, and afraid of the unknown. I convinced myself that it was better to be a slave to familiarity than to trust God with something new. Still, I felt myself outgrowing the places I’d always lived in. God was calling me out into the deep. I tried to branch out before, but fear talked me out of it time and time again. The moment everything changed was when the question “What if this time is different?” began quietly echoing in my mind. I spent so much time avoiding change and bracing myself for the worst that I hadn’t considered that God had a plan; that the unknown could hold beauty untold. I realized that I had to leave fear behind and choose to live.

You can no longer rely on the people, places, and things you think you can’t live without. These are actually the things that hold you back. God calls each of us to a new story. You aren’t bound to pain that shaped your identity. Chapter One enforces the belief that you can begin again. You can escape the matrix of doing things the same way because that’s all you know. It defies the idea that you have to be whoever you’ve found yourself masquerading as. Often, our worlds are framed by trauma, fear, what was said about us, and mistakes we’ve made. This is a space to shatter those glass ceilings, expose the lies, and hit the redo button. In God, there is newness of life. Welcome to your Chapter One. Together, we will grow our faith and expand our horizon.
