Application
Pastor Hunter calls the church to stop chasing accumulation and start walking in real, God-defined victory — and to do it in three practical, unglamorous ways. First, walk with purpose: identify the gifts, time, talent, treasure, and testimony God has given you and offer them back to Him through serving, giving, and living in a way that points others to Jesus. Second, walk with others: stop doing faith alone. Get into a life group, learn people's names, and commit to doing the distance of following Jesus in community. Third, walk in obedience: don't wait until you feel ready for the miraculous. Start small — five minutes in the Bible over breakfast, five minutes of prayer on your commute, committing to show up to church every week — and trust that when your obedience meets God's power, life change will follow. Victory in 2026 begins with a single faithful step.
