We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower. Being empowered means you are pouring into those around you while growing yourself. Empowerment comes through different channels. The ultimate source of encouragement is from the word. The more we run to the word and less to the world the more we realize that our identity isn't bound up in what other people say. How we are empowered to live out our calling isn't dependent on what compliment comes that day but on what passage we read that day.  Follow along with us by reading the tre devotional on our website!

We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower. When others do well are you there to lift them up or tear them down? The American mindset is that we are all building our own kingdom. Jesus reminds us that we are not building our own kingdom, we are building God’s Kingdom. When we get out of the mindset of impressing each other and instead help each other find God’s calling for our lives we can empower our community so much more.

We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower. What does it mean to be commissioned? An instruction, command, or duty given to a person or group of people. As a church we are a group and God does not call us to serve on our own. Being commissioned starts with the two greatest commandments God gave us, love God and love people. We just have to be obedient in these commands and He will provide.

We sit down with the creator of the tre ministries devotional, Ian Rinken, to hear his inspiration behind the tre devotional series: Escape. Equip. Empower. In week two of the Equip series, we discuss how God equips the confident. Confidence, where are you looking for your confidence? In yourself? In your work? In your family? In reality, our confidence is rooted in who God called us to be not in what we are capable of. Validation from the opinions of others will always leave you dry but validation from the Lord will be fruit to the spirit. Challenge yourself this week - do not be discouraged because you think you lack something but be filled with encouragement because Christ accompanies you in everything you do and He will guide your way.
