Your Faces and the Light of God

Writer's picture: TJCTJC

In 1776, the 13 colonies set out on a journey of self-determination, fighting for five years to overcome tyranny and explore the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. However, even then, the American experiment struggled—and continues to struggle—with contradictions around: whose life, whose liberty, and whose pursuit of happiness are worthy of these unalienable rights?


Last week, we set the historical context for the October 26th TJC Battlefield Summit at Kings Mountain, NC. This week, is your personal invitation to join me and TJC to ‘turn the tide’—for you and your family in your battles. Experience your victory firsthand too! Follow Me. I know the Way.


Your Faces and the Light of God

Via TJC


For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. - Matthew 6:21

History is written in our hearts. In my heart is the same memory for every Joshua Commission training event. 

It always starts like this: My life is moving quickly. On the drive there, phone calls and problems. The suburbs turn to country roads. I still have a weight on my mind, and a weight on my heart. 

Then, I feel the sound of gravel under my tires. I see your cars and your faces. I’ve arrived. Everyone is coming up to me, laughing and joking. We made it! 

The breeze is blowing. Time slows down. All my brothers hug me. We’re going to dedicate this weekend to Jesus Christ. We’re going to baptize people. We’ll walk the battlefield, and everyone will face themselves. I can smell a campfire. I’m so happy to be there. 

The next morning, I unzip my tent. Last night, we spoke and we prayed. We get in the car pools and drive to the battlefield. I look out the window and pray. Everyone is excited.

In the parking lot, I see your faces - good faces - good men. I think to myself, why can’t I be around people like this all the time? In a horseshoe formation, a leader steps forward. The sun is peeking above the horizon. We begin. 

History is written in our hearts. I’ve done the Battlefield Summits with TJC many times and my history is always looking at your faces. Smiling faces through God. Those who are serious, are serious for God. We’re all seeking Him and we’ve all come together. I think I can see the light of Jesus Christ in your eyes, and I know that He’s there with us and nothing can go wrong. In my heart is the knowledge that men like this exist in a world where I sometimes feel that I am drowning. I am so very happy. 

I realize, in that moment, that God has his people and it was never what we thought. God has his tall people and God has his short people. God has his people from all races. I know, at that moment, this is the way that history will unfold: God’s people are called here, there and everywhere…..and He found me. And Look, I made it to be there with you!
