The Jesus Code: Part One

The Jesus Code: Living Like Christ in a Complicated World Jesus Code: a practical, scripture-rooted code of conduct for everyday living—kindness, courage, humility, and service. In this series, we explore the Jesus Code, take an assessment, participate in the 7-day challenge, and learn some key scriptures. I’ve been thinking a lot about Jesus lately. Not just in the way we talk about Him in church, but wondering: what was He really like? What was His personality? His attitude to life? How did He treat people—not just His friends and followers, but strangers, the outcast, the annoying, and the hostile? More importantly, if Jesus were alive today, how would He live? Would He be scrolling social media? Would He show up at your workplace? Would He speak out online? Would He ignore you in traffic? The Jesus we see in Scripture is deeply human, wildly loving, fiercely truthful, and yet deeply peaceful. And honestly, when I compare Jesus to the way many of us profess to be Chris...

Through play, both children and adults develop creativity , problem-solving , communication , and emotional resilience .

It Was Good: Loving This Day

“Blessing” in Genesis 1 comes from the Hebrew word “barak,” meaning to kneel, praise, or empower with favour. In the blog ‘Was Good: Loving This Day,’ we explore the creation story not as a timeline debate, but as a guide to creativity, self-recognition, and inner value. Becoming Maverick means knowing that your progress—even unfinished—is already good. It Was Good: Loving This Day Regardless of your beliefs about God or your views on the timeline of creation, Genesis chapter one contains a powerful narrative filled with timeless wisdom. While theologians speak of a 6,000-year-old earth and scientists present a much longer timeline, this debate often becomes a distraction. What truly matters is the spirit of the story — and the Creator's attitude toward His work. Whether you're building a business, writing a book, developing a website, or simply shaping your life, Genesis 1 offers a pattern and a mindset worth studying. One detail that stood out to me recently is this: after...

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a s...

New Beginnings: New Year, New Growth

New Beginnings: New Year, New Growth Mark 2:1–12,  “Let us begin this new year with these words of wisdom as motivation: speak up, reach out, and carry your friends toward healing. Together, we are stronger.” Happy New Year, Mavericks! What I’m about to share has been brewing inside me for months. I started putting pen to paper about a month ago, but I discarded several drafts before settling on this version. Now, as the new year gets underway, I find myself reflecting more deeply on what it means to face challenges head-on and come out stronger—what it means to embrace the journey of Becoming Maverick . For many, the new year is a time for quick resolutions and goal-setting. For me, this process has evolved into something longer and more intentional over the past few years. My annual reflection and goal-setting now begins in mid-December and stretches over 30 to 60 days, sometimes ending in February. It’s not just about ticking items off a list—it’s about taking the time to honest...
