Have you ever noticed how often we play it safe in our faith?

We tiptoe around, trying not to make mistakes, when we’re actually called to be kings and priests as children of the King.

You know what I’ve observed in my years leading The Master’s Program? A homogenized faith – one that’s been smoothed out, stripped of its power, and made safe – isn’t what Jesus modeled. He wasn’t crucified for playing it safe. He was crucified because He challenged the status quo and lived out His mission with boldness.

This really hit home for me recently as I was reflecting on my own faith journey. I remember living my faith like I was trying not to get in trouble, instead of living it like I’m a son of the King. And I see this pattern in so many of the leaders I work with – this tendency to hedge bets when we’re called to boldly lead – as Kings.

Think about it – when was the last time your faith made someone uncomfortable? When was the last time your pursuit of God’s calling pushed you beyond what felt safe? Jesus didn’t call us to be careful; He called us to be faithful and fruitful.

The problem with a homogenized faith is that it produces homogenized fruit – or often, no fruit at all. We’re called to be salt and light, not vanilla and lukewarm. Remember what Jesus said to the church in Laodicea? He’d rather have us hot or cold than lukewarm!

This is why we exist in The Master’s Program. We’re not interested in helping people maintain a play-it-safe faith. We’re about helping leaders step into their royal identity and live out bold callings that make an eternal impact in their spheres of influence.

You know what it’s like to move from playing it safe to stepping out in faith. You understand the difference between avoiding mistakes and pursuing Kingdom impact. The question is – are you living in that reality today?

Here’s my challenge to you: Look at your life right now. Where have you slipped back into playing it safe? Where have you traded your royal identity for religious respectability? It’s time to step back into your true identity as a child of the King.

Remember, playing it safe might keep you comfortable, but it won’t make you fruitful. Jesus didn’t say, “Well done, good and safe servant”. He said, “Well done, good and faithful servant”.

Let’s reject the homogenized faith that’s crept into our lives. Let’s return to the bold, transformative faith that Jesus modeled. Because when we live as the royalty we are, that’s when we truly change the world.

Are you ready to step more fully into your royal identity and make a bigger Kingdom impact? Start working on how you can live out the next season of your calling with the boldness it deserves.

In your corner,
Jeff
