Faith is one of the most misunderstood concepts in our modern world.

Some believe that faith is just being a believer in Christ. Some people believe that faith is just accepting anything that comes their way without complaining saying it’s God’s will. Some people go through the motions and faith is an obligation and part of the price they begrudgingly pay for being a Christian. 

Faith to a farmer is going out everyday even though he knows that he will get a fraction of the price that the government subsidized commercial farms will make just because he knows that God called him to be a farmer. Faith for him means that he needs to believe he is a follower of Christ to get him through the storms, the drought, the excessive rains and the price gouging. Faith means he knows that God made him a farmer but he also blessed him with being a part of the community to minister the good word through his deeds and acts of kindness and help which he does with the power of his faith knowing that is what God calls him to do versus doing it for likes or reward. Knowing God made him a father and a husband as well and that requires faith in God’s plan and faith in God’s word that he needs to trust in sickness and in health, richer or poorer. In this example it’s a farmer with a family who needs faith to be fruitful and remain hopeful. He has to have faith that if he has a bad crop his customers will understand and not forget him, he needs to have faith that his struggles will empower his family to work together during those tough times and have hope and joy in their calling knowing that next year’s harvest will be bountiful and if not the Good Lord will take care of them and they are blessed because they are together.

How does that apply to Easter and the sacrifice that God made for us? Well he sent us his one and only son, because the message he had sent through all the other prophets he called son (Adam, Moses,Israel, Ezekiel, David) were forgotten by the people who had lost their faith. So he sent Jesus who's sole purpose was to remind us of our love for God and show us what true faith looks like. Having lived a human life Jesus knew that faith was a trial and begged for our forgiveness on the cross "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do". That was Jesus saying I know how hard it is to have faith without reward or proof or knowledge of the punishment if you fall short of God’s grace.

The reality is during Jesus’s time on earth he taught his followers that faith isn’t that hard, we just need to give up control and trust the Father’s plan. This is why so many Christians don’t truly rejoice on Easter Saturday, because they don’t want to be reminded that the apostles lost their hope, and in essence their faith. Even with all the miracles they witnessed they failed their teacher. They had no hope, and in reality they never had true faith and required Jesus to constantly prove he was who he said he was. Proof isn’t faith! As a believer I call on all of our pack to practice rejoicing in God’s greatness even when all hope seems to be lost.

Pray this when times are tough and your faith is tested.

"God, you love me more than anyone or anything and I rejoice in the blessings you have provided for me. Please grant me the wisdom to know that this trial is temporary and I will rise again to fulfill your purpose for my life. God your greatness and love know no limits and I have faith in your plan, and relinquish my human need to understand this trial and accept your journey for my life. "

Amen

Starting We3Wolves, we had to have faith that what we are doing is God’s plan. While we come from working class and farming families we chose a life of excitement and adventure, traveling the world winning awards and building solutions and products in the technology space. For years we were unhappy with the way that big tech abuses their customers or how global engineers wanting to get rich create fake problems that their tech innovation will solve. God sent us back to America and the Holy Spirit humbled us and sent challenge after challenge and story after story of people needing help and the call was so strong and undeniable that we knew it was real.

We traded in prestige and riches to answer God’s call, which we understand to be, that to truly make America Great again we needed to assemble a community of believers and then feed them clean food to remind them of God’s Greatness and restore their faith in the land God blessed them with. We struggle with faith when we don’t have access to the capital that we had with Tech, for instance if I have an idea to build a product in the tech space within days I have more investors than I need but when I called on that same community to build the next evolution of American farming it was silence, but God sent us new people who believe and have faith, many of which will be reading this newsletter and it gives us hope that we will bring in the crop that God has asked us to sow.

Happy Easter from the Wolves May God bless and keep you in his sight.
