Issue #8 · July 2, 2026
Repentance is not the apology. It is the turn. This issue is about the order Jesus actually gave us, why seeking without turning bears no fruit, and what it looks like when God speaks while you sleep.
I talk a lot about Matthew 6:33. "Seek ye first the Kingdom…" But I just saw this recently. Before Jesus said "Seek the Kingdom…" he said "Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand…" I can't believe I didn't see the order of this before.
If you have ever woken up from a dream and thought, "Wait a minute, I think there is more to this," there probably is. Eighteen years ago, I had a recurring dream. Three nights in a row, the same exact dream. God got my attention.
Markets didn't exactly do what a lot of people expected this past week. After the US-Iran ceasefire, the result wasn't the outcome many were looking for. Both the S&P and NASDAQ pulled back, with the NASDAQ closing down 4.59% and the S&P falling a more modest 1.94%. Sometimes the market just doesn't follow the script.
