How to live the “ONLY GOD” life:

Step 1Live Deep
With Jesus


Everything begins by remaining connected to Christ. The deeper we abide in Him, the more we discover that our story is part of God's greater story.

When we live deep with Jesus:

  • Recognize that your story finds its purpose in God's story.
  • Remain rooted in Jesus through prayer, Scripture, worship, and surrender.
  • Become a carrier of the Gospel by removing barriers that keep others from experiencing Jesus.
Step 2Show Up With Expectancy


God is already at work wherever you go. Every conversation, every meeting, and every interaction is brimming with redemptive potential.

When we show up with expectancy:

  • Expect God to move in ordinary moments.
  • Follow His promptings with courage, kindness, and curiosity.
  • Walk through every door believing God has gone before you.
Step 3Relate with Everyone


As we walk with Jesus and expect Him to move, we naturally begin loving the people He's placed in our lives.

When we relate authentically:

  • Point people to Jesus—not our opinions or preferences.
  • Live as an ambassador of Christ, representing His love with humility and grace.
  • Build genuine relationships that create opportunities to point people to Jesus.
Step 4Risk it all for what matters most


Following Jesus often requires courage. When the Holy Spirit prompts us, we choose obedience—even when it feels uncomfortable.

When we risk it all for what matters most:

  • Listen for the Spirit's whisper and take the next faithful step.
  • Be an “Everyday Ananias,” trusting God can use ordinary people in extraordinary ways.
  • Watch for the moments that leave you saying, “Only God.

STORIES

In the workplace as it is in heaven

John takes a deep breath, quiets his heart, and says a quick prayer: “Lord, help me to love the person on the other end of the line. Help me listen well to how they’re actually doing. Help me to be tuned in to what you are doing.”

Then, he picks up the phone. As it rings, he’s calm. Confident.

This has become a normal day in the office.

John’s worked for the same firm for 40 years. He’s been on a lot of these work calls. But over the last few months, he’s started to shift his approach.

As we begin a journey as a church, living the ONLY GOD life take some time to think about the “places and faces” in your life.

What are the PLACES you frequent? Invite God to transform how you see your role in those places. How might you show up differently?

Who are the FACES in front of you? How might you see family, neighbors coworkers, or even strangers with an eternal mindset?

As you identify these places and faces, pray that God would do more than you could ask or imagine as you put your faith into practice.
