Mature Me w/ Rich Wilkerson Jr.

You can believe what God says about everyone else and still struggle to believe it about yourself.

This week on Mature Me, I’m sitting down with @hellomanouchka and @dakotaduron to reflect on 11 years of VOUS Church and our recent “Confessions” collection at @vouschurch. We talk about the early days, the friendships that have sustained us and the beliefs we’ve had to confront along the way.

“I’m not enough.” “I’m too much.” “I’m not smart enough.”

So much of maturity is learning to recognize the lies we’ve accepted and return to what God has spoken. You don’t have to wait until every insecurity disappears to walk in what He’s called you to do.

Your calling can be clear while your development is still incomplete.

This week, I’m sharing a message from last week’s staff meeting about growing with what God is doing around you. A growing church needs growing people, and a growing staff needs growing leaders.

Growth requires humility. Stay curious. Keep asking questions. No matter how experienced you become, remain teachable.

Don’t rush God’s timing or defend your gaps. Let Him develop the character and capacity you need to carry what He has called you to carry.

If you’re called to lead, you’re still called to grow.

Men, when you look in the mirror, do you see the man God has called you to be?

This week, I’m sharing a commissioning charge from our Man Alive Prayer Breakfast: Stand firm in the faith. Be strong. Act like men.

To be a man is to be meek, accountable and needed. To know you are a loved son, fight for your character, and carry the burdens of others. Real strength isn’t about flexing. It’s about guarding your integrity and holding the line.

That’s what it means to come alive in Jesus: becoming the man God has called you to be and living with strength, humility, and purpose.

What if the thing you keep excusing is the very thing destroying you?

This week on Mature Me, I’m sharing a message I preached at @motiongen called “Don’t Live With It.”

The enemy doesn’t start by destroying you overnight. He starts with compromise. One small excuse. One hidden habit. One line crossed so many times that conviction becomes easier to ignore.

Jesus warned us that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. We cannot afford to make peace with what is slowly taking us captive.

Train yourself in the Word or you will be defeated in the wilderness. The Word of God is not just something to read. It is a weapon, sharper than any double-edged sword.

God doesn’t need your strength. He wants your surrender.

If there’s something in your life you know you can’t keep excusing, hiding, or living with, this message is for you. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and fight for the freedom Jesus came to give you.

You don’t notice balance until you lose it.
Right before night one of VOUSCon, I shared a message titled “Get Your Balance Back”
In a world of extremes, spiritual maturity is learning how to hold the tension. Grace and truth. Conviction and compassion. Awareness without obsession.
Because if you can’t balance, you can’t stand. If you can’t stand, you can’t walk. And if you can’t walk, you certainly can’t fight.
And we are in a fight. Our wrestle is not against flesh and blood. We need the discernment to recognize the battle without becoming consumed by it.
Balance isn’t found in having all the answers. It’s found in staying attached to Jesus.
Get your balance back.
