Hope Fest

10/06/2026

If you could go back and tell someone ONE thing about what God has brought you through… what would you say? 👀🔥

“I didn’t think I’d make it, but God…”
“I thought it was too late, but God…”
“I was ready to give up, but God…”

Your story might be the very thing someone needs to read today. 💚💖

Drop your “BUT GOD” moment in the comments even if it’s just one sentence. Let’s remind each other that there is still HOPE! 🙌

What if the place you wish you weren’t in is a place where God can use you? 🙏🔥

Paul wrote Philippians while imprisoned, yet the letter is full of joy. He said that what had happened to him actually helped spread the gospel even the guards learned that he was there because of his faith in Christ! 🙌

His circumstances didn’t stop him from sharing Jesus.
📖 Philippians 1:12–14

That’s been making me think about my own mindset.

I’m currently working in a new location on Ridgewood that, honestly, isn’t ideal. But I’ve declared that this is my mission field. Right here, where I am.

I’ve been stepping outside my comfort zone, walking outside, talking to people, and asking if I can pray for them. On Monday, I got to pray with a man named Isaac, who shared that he had spent 10 years in prison.

If I’d stayed inside, I would’ve missed that opportunity. ❤️

How often are we so focused on wanting our circumstances to change that we miss the person God has put in front of us?

That’s the heart behind Hope Fest and we can carry it into our everyday lives. We don’t have to wait for the next event to share the love of Jesus! ❤️‍🔥

🙏 Here’s your challenge today: ask God to show you someone you can pray for. Step outside your comfort zone and ask if they’d like prayer.

Then come back and share your testimony in the comments! You don’t have to share their name or private details we’d love to hear how God used that moment. ❤️

🌟 HOPE FEST UNSUNG HERO: CASSANDRA BOGGS 🌟

Two days before Hope Fest, I reached out to Cassandra Boggs and asked if she would be willing to serve. She’s an ER nurse down in Brevard County, and of course, she immediately said yes. ❤️

The night before the event, she put head trauma supplies in her bag. Little did she know how soon she would need them.

Shortly after Hope Fest started, an elderly woman’s walker caught in a hole in the concrete on the sidewalk . She fell and hit her head. Cassandra jumped into action, cared for her, and made sure she was stable and ready to be taken to the ER.

I truly believe the Lord was preparing Cassandra for that moment. We’re so thankful she said yes and showed up ready to serve.

Cassandra, thank you for being there when someone needed you. You are one of Hope Fest’s unsung heroes! 🙏❤️

Hope Fest doesn’t have to wait until the next festival. 💚🩷

Today, hope might look like checking on someone who’s been quiet. Praying with a stranger. Buying someone lunch. Or reminding a person who’s struggling that Jesus sees them and loves them.

So here’s our Hope Fest challenge for this week: be someone’s answered prayer. 🙏

If you do something to spread hope, come back and tell us about it. Let’s see how far hope can go before we gather again! 🔥

🌈🌈 GOD WAS ALREADY MOVING.

I don’t own the rights to this beautiful photo it was graciously shared with me but when I saw this double rainbow over the event, I couldn’t help but think about how intentional God is.

Before the Jesus March, the flyer had already been shared with us. Cuba and I had already decided, “We’re going. We’re going to show up and support them.”

But Jackie didn’t know that.

The day before the event, Jackie posted the flyer in the comments on the Hope Fest page. I immediately responded and told her, “We’ll be there!”

What she didn’t know was that God had already put it on our hearts to come.

And I truly believe God used that little moment to encourage her right before stepping into something BIG their very first event.

Sometimes we think encouragement is just a comment.
Just a text.
Just showing up.
Just saying, “I’ll be there.”

But you have no idea what someone has been praying about behind the scenes.

Then we showed up…and God marked the day with a DOUBLE RAINBOW. 🌈🌈

You say yes.
You step out.
You don’t know exactly how it’s all going to work.
And God meets you there.

Never underestimate what God can do through simply SHOWING UP for somebody else. ❤️

Has God ever connected you with someone in a way that you just KNEW wasn’t a coincidence? Tell me about it below. 👇🔥

🌈 A DIVINE APPOINTMENT MARKED BY A RAINBOW.

Today we had the opportunity to attend the very first Jesus March put on by Trey and Jackie, and I truly believe this was more than just us showing up to support another Kingdom event.

Jackie sent me the flyer on Facebook, and I told her, “We’re coming.” We had never met them before, but when we finally did today, Cuba and I immediately saw so many similarities between our stories.

They gave God their YES and stepped out in faith to do their first event. We know firsthand what that feels like the excitement, the faith, the unknowns, and simply trusting God with the outcome.

And then we stood there together under this rainbow. 🌈😭

You can call it coincidence, but I don’t believe every connection is accidental. Sometimes God brings people together because there is Kingdom work ahead.

Today felt like a divine appointment, and I truly believe this is only the beginning. I have a feeling we will be doing some Kingdom work together in the future.

Keep saying YES to Jesus. You never know who is waiting on the other side of your obedience. ❤️‍🔥

Kingdom over competition. Jesus over everything. 🙌🔥

🔥 UNSUNG HEROES OF HOPE FEST 🔥

Today we want to honor two people who the Lord brought into our lives at exactly the right time — Tim & Bobbi. ❤️

There are so many things that happen behind the scenes of an event like Hope Fest that most people will never see. Tim and Bobbi were there for so much of it.

They helped us mail out flyers. They hit the streets and passed out flyers. They strategically prayed over Hope Fest and what God was going to do. They helped at the gate, helped get our vendors and ministries where they needed to be, helped build our security team and made sure everyone was safe.

And when it was all over and everyone else was heading home… they stayed and helped us clean up.

They didn’t need a stage.
They didn’t need recognition.
They just saw a need and served. 🙌

Looking back, I can see how intentional God was in bringing the right people alongside us at the right time. Tim and Bobbi, thank you for every prayer, every flyer, every hour, every task, and every moment you gave to help make Hope Fest happen.

You were a HUGE part of what God did that day, and we are so thankful for you both. ❤️🔥

Hope Fest wasn’t built by one person. It took an army of people willing to say YES and these two were part of that army.

And we are SO READY to work side by side with you again as we build Hope Fest 2027! 🙌🔥 We truly believe the best is still ahead, and we can’t wait to see what God does next!

Help us show Tim & Bobbi some love in the comments! 👇❤️

What if Hope Fest wasn’t just an event you attended…
what if it was the place you finally said YES? 🙌🔥

YES to Jesus.
YES to getting baptized.
YES to praying for a stranger.
YES to serving.
YES to using the gift God gave you.
YES to coming back to church.
YES to surrendering something you’ve been holding onto.

We’re planning for Hope Fest 2027, but we’re not just planning stages, music, vendors and activities.

We’re preparing a place for people to encounter JESUS. ❤️‍🔥

So I want to hear from YOU:

👇 If you came to Hope Fest 2026, finish this sentence:

“Hope Fest reminded me __________.”

And if you’re coming in 2027…

What are you believing God for this time? 👀🔥
