Let's get real simple about unboxing God

Most of us, when we think about God, end up in a mess of questions:
"Does He see me?"
"Does He care?"
"Why would He help?"
"Maybe He’s the reason life’s so hard."

We chase thoughts in circles and try to make sense of a God we barely understand. And honestly? That’s normal. Everyone who thinks seriously about God has probably been stuck in that same mental spaghetti. Opinions, religions, contradictions. It's a mess.

But here's the problem: we’re trying to build ideas about God without first figuring out who we’re even talking about. And that’s where everything goes off track.

Ok, here’s the simple but important part.

If we’re going to think or talk about God at all, let’s at least start with this:
God is real, and He’s not abstract or vague. He’s not a blurry concept we invent to explain the universe. He is someone—a being with actual identity and character. And if He really is God, then He has to be way beyond us, but also close enough to matter to us.

Here’s the blueprint of the God we’re actually looking for:

  • God created everything. If it exists, He made it. That includes you.

  • God is one. There’s no battle of gods. He’s not part of a team. He is the source.

  • God is eternal. He’s not stuck in time. He invented time.

  • God is all-knowing. He doesn’t discover stuff. All knowledge comes from Him.

  • God sees everything. You can’t hide. Not in shame, not in pain. He sees.

  • God is completely good. He’s the highest standard. He defines good.

  • God is love. Not “loving sometimes”—He is love, always.

If what we say or think about God doesn’t line up with these things, then we're not talking about God. We’re talking about something else: a weaker, watered-down version that can't help us and won’t change anything. I don't want that version and neither do you.

So...

Let’s stop treating God like He’s small, distracted, or emotionally distant.
He’s not.

God - the one who created the entire universe - is also the one who created you, on purpose. He’s powerful, yes. But also personal. And loving. He knows what’s happening in your life. He cares. He’s involved - in every good way.

It's time to stop talking about God like He’s just an idea. He’s not. He’s God—the kind who can step into your story and change it. Not just once, but again and again. I’m done with weak ideas of God. I want the real one. The one who is everything He says He is.

Let God actually be God in your life. You don’t need to figure everything out first. Just start there.
He’s real. He’s love. He’s near.

Let’s expect Him to show up. Because He will.

Let’s get real simple about finding God

We don’t walk toward God because we don’t really expect to  find  Him. But, what if the thing that's been missing this whole time isn't God's presence, but our expectation? If you’ve ever felt like life is falling apart and there's no way out, you’re not alone. I’ve been there - totally wrecked, no hope left, and nothing I could do to fix it. One day in 2016, I ended up in this small, dim room in a church I’d never been to before. I didn’t go there because I was religious. I went there because I was desperate. I told God—straight up—“You have to change my life. I’m not moving until I hear from You.” I cried, begged, waited… and got nothing. Came back the next day. Same thing. But then, something happened. Not in some dramatic movie scene kind of way, but in a way that flipped my life upside down. Jesus showed up. Not in a vision or a flash of light. I just suddenly knew He was there. I felt comforted. Seen. Known. It’s hard to describe, but it was like my soul finall...

Let’s get real simple about wisdom, life, and the One who dreamed you up

Ever feel like you're just winging it through life? Yeah… same. Turns out, that’s the starting point for real wisdom. We all mess up. We all feel lost or unsure sometimes. It’s easy to look around and compare ourselves to others. Maybe you feel smarter, more put together, or just “less of a mess” than someone else, but if there really is a God who knows everything, then none of us are even close to His level. Compared to perfect wisdom, we’re all pretty clueless. That’s not a dig. That’s just honesty. But here’s the cool part: recognizing that we don’t know it all is actually the first step toward real wisdom. Everything in this world seems to come with an opposite: light and dark, good and evil, dry and wet. Same goes for wisdom and foolishness. And the amazing thing is, understanding one side helps you grasp the other. You don’t have to live in darkness to understand light - you just need to see the light . And if you feel stuck in the dark? The light can still reach you. T...

Let’s get real simple about meeting God

You and I didn’t choose to be born—we just showed up one day, breathing, thinking, living. And whether we like it or not, there’s someone behind that. The Bible says that at some point—either during our life or at the very end—we will meet the One who gave us life. No one gets a pass. Everyone will face God eventually. But here’s the thing: why wait until we die to meet Him? If we were made by Someone, wouldn’t it make sense to know who that Someone is while we’re still alive? Ok, here’s the simple but important part. The best thing we could ever do with our time is get to know Jesus. Not religion. Not rules. Him. Jesus isn’t just a historical figure or a name people throw around at church. The Bible says He’s the one through whom everything was made - including you. So if you’ve ever wondered about your purpose, your identity, or why life even matters, Jesus is the starting point . Eternal life isn’t just about some future heaven thing. It’s about knowing Jesus. That’s literally ...
