I think it is safe to say that we all wish the world were a better place. There are so many things wrong in our fallen world. Evil has been on the rise since the garden! We are seeing so much of that come to light these days with everything being dug up on systemic racism, sexual crime rings, and political manipulation to “cover up” various unsavory deeds…etc. Like anything else, when left ignored and unattended, issues like these only grow deeper and more ingrained in our way of life as a society. When we think of how deeply rooted these issues are, it can be overwhelming to imagine ever solving them! We must each focus in on the one thing that burdens us most. It is there where I believe we will find our calling. It is there where our passions and talents can hopefully coincide to a point of making the greatest impact we are capable of for the kingdom!

So what is your thing? And how can you engage to solve it? That first question might be really easy to answer but the second, i’ll bet, is a lot harder! As individuals it can be hard, even when we know our thing, to know how to help. Usually there is an organization out there that is already doing good work towards relief or resolution and the only practical way to help, for those of us with day jobs, is to donate to their cause financially. Time is harder to offer when we all have jobs and families to maintain. On top of that, many of us might also give less than we would like to the causes we care about because maybe we are not sure what organization to trust with our money, or we create excuses for why the money is best used differently to support your own life efforts or lifestyles. (no judgement, I am talking to myself here too!) I am not saying it is bad to care for yourself out of your own pocket full of hard earned money, but I do wonder… if there was a way to have more assurance that your money was going to a virtuous organization while also getting a little something for yourself that fits your lifestyle and showcases what you care about, would you go for it?

That is the basic premise behind FAM’s Cause Collection series, coming soon! I will have more details on how to be involved with these in the future, as I learn and figure out the specifics myself. God is stirring my soul and organizing my steps towards accomplishing some cool things through this ministry and I am really excited about this one! So stay tuned!

Blessings FAM!
