As we step into 2025, we do so with hearts full of anticipation, believing that God is calling us to Holy Ground. This year is more than just the turning of a calendar—it is an invitation to encounter the revealed presence of God in a transformative way.

In Scripture, "Holy Ground" is the place of theophany, where God reveals Himself to His people in life-altering ways. For Moses, it was the burning bush, where God declared His presence and set Moses apart for a mission of deliverance. That encounter not only prepared Moses but unleashed a powerful move of God that brought freedom to an entire nation.

In the same way, Jesus is the ultimate theophany—the fullness of God revealed to humanity. Before beginning His ministry, Jesus stood in the waters of baptism and experienced the divine as the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and the Father’s voice declared, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” From there, He fasted, wrestled with temptation, and triumphed by the Word of God, stepping into the mission that would forever change the world.

Church, we believe this is our moment to encounter the revealed presence of God, to stand on Holy Ground, and to see His power unleashed in and through our lives. We are beginning this year with 21 days of prayer and fasting, asking God to reveal Himself in greater and deeper ways than ever before. This is more than a spiritual discipline—it is preparation for the ministry and miracles He is ready to release.

I encourage you to seek the Lord for how He is calling you to fast and prepare your heart in this season. Without God, fasting is simply a diet, but with Him, it is a holy moment that can change everything. Together, let’s step onto Holy Ground, encounter His presence, and believe for the reality of His Kingdom to break through in our lives, our church, and the world.

We love you and are standing in faith with you for an incredible season ahead,

Pastors Josh and Katie
