✝️ A Blessed Message from Bishop McClain

Dear Beloved in Christ,
Life moves fast — sometimes so fast that we barely have time to catch our breath, let alone reflect on what truly matters. But every so often, God gives us a holy pause — a moment to ask ourselves, “What's Next?” This is more than a question of direction; it’s an invitation to refocus, to realign, and to rediscover the priorities that bring purpose, peace, and power to our lives. In this week's message, “What's Next: Discovering or Rediscovering Your Priorities?”, we’re diving into how God uses seasons of transition to reveal what’s most important — and how we can respond with courage and clarity.

Maybe you've been running on empty, pulled in too many directions, or simply unsure of your next step. You're not alone — and you're not without guidance. God’s Word offers timeless wisdom and fresh encouragement for every season. This message is a call to wake up our hearts, shake off distractions, and step boldly into the life God is calling us to live — a life of intentional focus, faithful obedience, and renewed joy. Now is the time to say yes to what matters most.

Founder & Pastor Bishop Dr. Clarence McClain

Editorial: When Life Pauses, Listen Closely

We all experience moments when life seems to hit a turning point — a shift in pace, a change in direction, or a season that forces us to ask deeper questions. What am I really doing with my time? What truly matters? What’s next? These aren’t just questions of career or calendar — they’re questions of calling.

If we’re honest, many of us are caught in a rhythm that we didn’t choose, pulled along by routines and responsibilities that leave little room for reflection. It’s easy to assume that busyness equals purpose, that movement equals progress. But Scripture reminds us that “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:6). Sometimes, God allows the noise to quiet down just enough for us to finally hear His gentle direction — to realign our priorities with His.

Now is the time to be intentional. What are we giving our energy to? Are we nurturing our relationship with God or letting it slip into the margins? Are we investing in our families, our faith, our calling — or are we chasing what fades? Rediscovering our priorities doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means pausing long enough to remember what matters and letting God reshape our focus.

This isn’t about guilt — it’s about grace. Grace that gives us room to grow, to restart, to return to what’s most important. Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter or simply trying to be more present in this one, know that God is ready to walk with you. He’s not waiting for your perfection — just your willingness to follow.

So as we step into this new week, let’s not rush past the still, small voice. Let’s ask ourselves: What's Next? And then let’s trust that God will not only show us the way — He’ll walk with us every step.
