TGiM – The Key to Courage
The Church at Corinth was not a mega-church. Scholars believe when Paul was writing his letters to the new believers there were no more than 150 people in 7 homes scattered throughout the bustling city of 500,000. They needed the same thing you need today, courage.
It’s easy to feel isolated and alone as a follower of Jesus due to the crises of our times. We can experience a sense of being overwhelmed and inadvertently marginalize our faith life to Sunday experiences and reading a devotional from time to time. We need courage to be bold and strong.
What inspires courage is not anger, hate, vision or a cause; Love is the only thing that catalyzes authentic courage to live your life out loud. So fill your buckets with His presence and start making beautiful messes as you go out of the overflow of the person and power of the Holy Spirit. – Jimmy
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Romans 8:32 NIV
Jimmy Pruitt is a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. As an idealist, his words are filtered through his spirituality with the expectation that he will encourage and inspire people to “Live Up in a Down World.” He is committed to being an authentic person in all he does. Because everyone has been through something, or is currently struggling, Jimmy believes the proper response to life is humility; it is the signature of Jesus bringing forth both pain and glory. He and his way better half, Annette, have been married for30 years. Agreeing their family is amazing, placing “Fun” in dys-Fun-ctional. They have three adult children and seven grandchildren that bless their lives beyond what they could ever dream. He is currently Lead Pastor at Bridge Church Fredericksburg, TX, and has started a new podcast titled: “Living Up in a Down Word – Making Faith real for the rest of us.”
