The Fathers Rhythm

Sometimes we preach something fiercely because we desperately want it to be true.

There may be belief behind our words, but sometimes the intensity with which we speak comes not from certainty, but from our desire for certainty. We preach because we want to convince ourselves as much as anyone else.

But there is another place we can speak and live from — a place of knowing.

Having been involved in religion, I’ve experienced a lot of preaching that comes from wanting to believe. What I’ve experienced far less often is the quiet authority of someone speaking from what they have genuinely known, lived and experienced.

A relationship with God is meant to be an experience that expresses itself into this world. It should be something lived, not simply something argued for.

There is a profound difference between speaking as though you want something to be true, and living as someone who knows it to be true.

The most powerful person isn’t always the one who speaks the loudest or preaches with the greatest intensity.

It’s the one who knows — without doubt — and whose life speaks from that knowing.

As I lie here at 1:30 in the morning, quietly contemplating the goodness of God, I can see, with perfect clarity, that His goodness has pursued me all my life. It has hunted me relentlessly—not with cruelty, but with the fierce determination of a predator that never loses sight of its quarry—until I can do nothing but collapse beneath the overwhelming weight of His goodness.

And there, I surrender.

I surrender to the certainty of His love.
I surrender to the promise of brighter days.
I surrender to the highest version of who I was always created to be.

The goodness of God is not passive. It is power. It is velocity. It is fierce, unstoppable love. It surrounds you from every direction until every illusion falls away and only truth remains: that all is unfolding exactly as it should, that all is held together by His hand, and that all is well.

Jesus heals us through love.

It’s not about shame.
It’s not about fear of punishment.
It’s not about a harsh God waiting to condemn.

Deliverance is rooted in the Father’s heart — a heart that longs for the fullness of who you are to come alive. He desires your true identity to be visible, unhidden, radiant for the world to see. He wants you to actually enjoy being who you were created to be.

Anything that doesn’t reflect that image — anything that distorts, binds, or suppresses who you are — He consumes with His love.

Because love is not fear.

Love is kind.
Love is gentle.
Love rejoices in truth and stands firmly against evil.

It is a holy fire flowing from the Father’s heart — not to harm you, but to burn away what holds you back.

Deliverance is not fear-based. It is not living anxious about punishment or imagining God with a whip in His hand.

That is not how a Father operates.

A loving Father — full of wisdom and power — leads His children with compassion. He reveals truth. He embraces them into reality. He restores them to themselves.

And He does it all through love.

At some point in life, we are gently invited to pause… and to realize something profound:

We carry our parents within us.

Not just their smiles or their strengths.
Not just their resilience, humor, or determination.

But also their fears.
Their wounds.
Their patterns.

Some of the best parts of who we are were shaped by the love, sacrifice, and leadership of those who raised us. Their courage lives in us. Their work ethic breathes through us. Their compassion shows up in how we treat others. And for that, we can be deeply grateful.

But if we’re honest, we also carry traits that don’t serve us.

Reactions we don’t fully understand.
Habits that sabotage us.
Defense mechanisms that once protected us — but now limit us.

And here’s the powerful truth:

Understanding where these patterns come from isn’t about blame.
It’s about awareness.

When we look back and recognize that many of our reactions were shaped by how we were raised, something shifts. We stop seeing ourselves as broken — and start seeing ourselves as formed.

And what has been formed… can be re-formed.

We do not have to live in the shadow of what came before us.

We can honor our parents without repeating their pain.
We can cherish their strengths without inheriting their chains.

Some patterns have hung around family necks for decades — maybe even generations. But just because something has been passed down doesn’t mean it must be passed on.

We are allowed to choose differently.
We are allowed to heal.
We are allowed to grow beyond what we were shown.

There is so much about you that is beautiful — so much that was nurtured into existence by those who raised you. Rejoice in that. Celebrate it.

And then, courageously, release what no longer serves you.

This is not rejection.
This is evolution.

This is how legacies transform.

He will pursue you with a love so steady and intentional that it quiets every question in your mind. Patiently, consistently, he’ll show up—until every shred of doubt fades away and there’s nothing left to question, only certainty.

Dear Christianity,

I am not leaving angry.
I am not leaving offended.

I am leaving awake.

I leave grateful.

You gave me words when I was afraid of the dark.
You gave me walls when I needed shelter.

You pointed to the door.

You never opened it.

You trained my eyes upward while the fire burned in my chest.
You taught me how to behave, not how to be.

You told me to deny myself before I ever met myself.
So I learned disappearance and called it holiness.

You began with the fall.
You taught me distance first.
You named separation and called it truth.

You put God on pages and taught me to distrust my own knowing— even when it carried life.

Still— love found me.
Still— grace leaked through.
Still— there were moments that saved me.

I do not erase those. I carry them.

But there is a moment when staying becomes a lie.

I reached it.

So I step out— not from Christ, but toward him.

The way he did.

Into the wilderness.
Into silence.
Into the place where nothing hides.

Not away from self. Into wholeness.

Where shadows are faced.
Where fear loses its grip.
Where love does the work.

I am not bitter.

I own every ending.
Every misunderstanding.
Every name I was called.

Nothing was wasted.

But I will not live on milk when my body knows bread.

I will not live in religion when union is calling.

I am done waiting for God elsewhere.

The Kingdom was never far.
The door was never locked.
Truth was never delayed.

Christ was always here. In me. Waiting.

Thank you for bringing me to the edge.

Now I cross.

Jesus makes the unknowable knowable. In his face, we encounter the door to mystery itself. We are invited to walk through that door and discover the delights of the kingdom—where the deepest longings of the human heart find their true home.

Without the plumb line of Jesus, we wander aimlessly, trying to figure everything out, to find meaning, or to manufacture purpose on our own. But stepping through that door leads us into everlasting joy—into unspeakable possibilities of life with God—and into a kingdom that has no end.
