Proximity precedes productivity; presence with Jesus is the oxygen of apprenticeship.


Before we can do for Jesus, we must learn to be with Him. Our effectiveness doesn’t flow from hustle—it flows from intimacy. Just like oxygen fuels the body, the presence of Jesus fuels the soul.


We don’t become more like Him by strategy alone, but by staying close enough to hear His whisper, close enough for His dust to settle on our feet. When we walk with Him—really walk with Him—our pace slows, our hearts align, and the fruit follows.


Abiding isn't inactivity; it's intentional nearness. From that nearness, true transformation—and meaningful impact—begin.
