Intro Summary

After a season of silence, I’m returning to this blog with a renewed mission: to help others find peace through Jesus Christ. My personal testimony of overcoming spiritual exhaustion and rediscovering faith is just one example of how His restoration is real and available. This post reflects on my journey through stagnant faith and grief, offering a fresh perspective on the Christian peace that only Christ can provide.

Rediscovering My Faith Journey After Moving to Kansas

It has been a very long time since I posted anything to this blog. The truth is that when I moved to Kansas, I stopped practicing my faith. I stopped praying. I stopped putting God first. I stopped reading the Bible. I stopped everything that led me to Kansas.

I just stopped everything with God.

Spiritual Exhaustion and Stagnant Faith

I don’t know if God hardened my heart, but after praying for everything I received in Kansas — a new start, a new home, a new life — things became difficult. I knew I needed to lean on God, but I didn’t take the steps toward Him.

It wasn’t that I didn’t want to. It felt like I was spiritually exhausted.

I thought my mission was clear. But clearly it wasn’t.

Even after receiving the Holy Spirit and being restored through Christ, I found myself on an unclear path.

Faith Over Feelings: Walking by Faith, Not by Sight

I was reminded of:

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

This verse reminded me that even though I had faith, I wasn’t walking with Christ.

John said it best:

“So because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16

And Hebrews 6:1 says:

“Let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity.”

These verses remind me that lukewarm faith leads to stagnation — but Christ calls us to renewal and maturity.

Finding Peace Through Jesus Christ After Grief

I believe God allowed this season so I could rediscover my purpose and move forward in faith. He put me in this stagnation to remind me to focus on Him again.

But even in the darkness of my dad’s passing, God gave me peace. He gave me light. He showed me what true peace is. He showed me how the Kingdom of Heaven is within reach — and how many people are missing it.

Even in my stagnation, I still found peace — and that peace is only through Jesus Christ.

My Mission and Ministry

So that is my mission. That is my ministry.

For over 2,000 years, Christ’s message of peace has remained the same. I don’t claim to add anything new to it — but I can share my personal testimony as a fresh perspective on peace through Christ.

My prayer is that as you follow my journey, you’ll see that if Jesus Christ can provide peace for me, He can provide peace for you too.

Conclusion: Peace I Leave With You

Thank you for your time and for reading this. Thank you for visiting this blog again. I encourage you to seek Jesus Christ and find peace.

Even in seasons of spiritual exhaustion and grief, I’ve discovered that true Christian peace comes only through Jesus Christ. His restoration is real, and His love is available to anyone who seeks Him.

Jesus said:

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you… Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27

Peace be with you. Brian
