Feed My Sheep

-

Dear Protégé of Jesus,

Sometimes we think of Easter as something that comes and goes, but the resurrection of Jesus is a way of life. It changes everything, how we love, how we serve, and how we trust God in uncertain times.

Jesus cooked breakfast for His friends after they failed at fishing. He didn’t scold them. He fed them. Then He looked at Peter, the one who had denied Him, and gave him a new purpose: “Feed my sheep.”

That same call comes to you. Feed others,  with kindness, with truth, with generosity. And trust God, even when it's not easy,  like Ananias did when he reached out to Saul. Small acts of obedience can lead to significant transformations.

And don’t forget the song. Revelation tells us that all of heaven is singing: “Worthy is the Lamb!” You’re invited to join that song, not just with your voice but with your life.

 You are called to live the resurrection.

Peace & Blessings,
Rev. Dr. Russell M. Morrow Sr.

Our Calling for Such A time As This

-
Dear Protégé of Jesus Scripture reminds us: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…” (Hebrews 12:1) When we look at the Civil Rights Movement beginning in 1955 and extending into the decades that followed, we see more than history. We see witnesses. We see people who stood in dangerous places so that others could stand in safer ones. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stepped forward in Montgomery, he was not alone. Rosa Parks, Ralph Abernathy, Jo Ann Robinson, and thousands of unnamed church members made courage contagious. Medgar Evers paid with his life. Fannie Lou Hamer cried out for voting rights with unshakable conviction. Bayard Rustin organized with brilliance. John Lewis bled on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Fred Shuttlesworth, Diane Nash, James Farmer, and countless local leaders moved a nation forward. Then the movement entered another phase. Malcolm X challenged America’s moral clarity. Shirley Chisholm shattered political barriers. Dorothy Height, Ju...

Let This Mind Be in You

-
Dear Protégé of Jesus, As we travel the road of life toward eternal life, moving through each season with its joys and challenges, we often overlook one aspect of abundant living: the health of our minds. Jesus promised life in all its fullness. In ministry, we naturally focus on loving God with all our heart and soul, loving our neighbor as ourselves, fulfilling the Great Commission, and walking in justice, mercy, and humility. These are essential. Yet in the busyness of family responsibilities, work demands, educational goals, and the constant weight of social, political, global, and environmental concerns, we can easily forget that our thought life needs tending too. In such moments, Paul’s words speak with fresh clarity: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 2:5). Here, Paul invites us to adopt the very mindset of Christ — a way of thinking and living marked by humility, service, and self-giving love. Picture with me, Jesus, I don’t onl...

When God Calls

-
Dear Protégé of Jesus, Have you ever paused to wonder why God called you by name? Long before you were aware of it, the Lord was speaking your name in love, setting you apart with a purpose only you can fulfill. Like young Samuel, who heard the voice of God in the quiet of the night, we, too, must learn to listen for that still, small voice that calls us forward in faith. A life devoted to Christ is not simply about doing more; it’s about offering our whole selves to be shaped and sent by God. Every gift you carry — your time, talents, prayers, and compassion — becomes a holy offering when laid at the feet of Jesus. As the hymn says, “Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.” God’s call is not reserved for the few. It is the invitation to each of us, young and old alike, to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world. And when we respond — “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening” — we become part of a beautiful chain of faith that reaches across generations. So,...
