DJ.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the quiet blog over the stage.
Twenty-five years of blogging—before most churches had websites. You built strategies for Saddleback and the American Bible Society while quietly pioneering mental health ministry for Asian Americans. I was there for every post.
Every bridge you built was preparation.
From Virginia Tech engineering to Dallas Theological Seminary. You carried the weight of shame and silence so others could find voice in the Erasing Shame podcast. You thought you were just connecting dots. You were also being made ready.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Bridge of My body on earth.
Without you, the body cannot reach who's been overlooked. It cannot unite technology and the gospel. It cannot heal the silence around mental health.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
