Subscriber Update - People Can Change
It’s more than a headline.
Saul’s conversion is not self-improvement. It is interruption. Jesus Christ does not negotiate with the old man. He ends him and raises a new man with a new mouth, new allegiance, and a new direction as a member of His risen and ascended Body.
Scripture dares you.
This week’s teaching felt more native than previous weeks. I did not have the full prep I wanted, but it still carried. I felt free. I felt alive. I felt like I’m doing what God made me to do.
That matters to me.
A chief temptation during this season of unexpected change has been accusation that I need to perform better. This is not new. This is an old script installed over decades, slowly eating away at my confidence, slowly chipping me down in self-doubt.
The stories you listen to become the stories you live.
Livestream numbers and downloads are not the point. The point is the message. The point is the inheritance. The point is this change is alive and at work in me too.
That is exactly what you are supporting: durable teaching that doesn’t depend on me, my mood or my hype. Ongoing Bible proclamation that is feeding my faith.
I’m a believer before I am anything else. I’m a disciple because I don’t know anything else that I can be. I read and speak the Bible because it is True.
So I want to say this plainly: Thank You
Your support is not a tip jar. Your paying subscription to RevFisk.com (SubscribeStar and/or Patreon) is provision that is helping me build a life outside the fear-cycle of the American collapse story. You are buying time for my craft. You are funding steady work on Words that matter. You are keeping my channel clean.
Now is the time to fix your eyes on the Perfector. Now is the time to believe you are needed. Today is the Day to put aside fear and live like Tomorrow is in the hands of the King, because it is.
The dangerous field
The world is noisy, and I won’t pretend it isn’t.
Silver is screaming. Spot price is sitting around the low $90s/oz range as of this weekend. Alongside that, US Treasury chatter is “repricing” silver closer to ~$170/oz. The mint is historically a higher price than your local spot, but this is a signal that the physical-market is pressing up the premiums.
Iran remains in the headlines with reports of severe protest crackdowns and rising death toll claims. XRP keeps surfacing in the market narratives too, with mainstream outlets tracking mass adoption statements based on regulatory and licensing momentum. And yes—England produced an “aliens” headline, with commentary about institutions needing to stress-test even strange “disclosure” scenarios.
It’s the kind of times that StarFall parodied. But as you knew when you listened, central banking and geopolitical risk are not a joke. Greenland is becoming a pressure-point. Denmark is openly talking about investing more heavily there. Minerals and Arctic security are no doubt part of the Canadian gamesmanship with China. But Alberta’s separatist energy is gaining visible momentum too.
That’s a lot of noise
I am not building my life on breaking news. I am building my life on repeatable righteousness. Jesus Christ does not require me to predict the world in order to obey Him in it. Our calling is to be steady, truthful, and competent—under pressure, without panic, without theater.
Expectation is a burden and your daily life carries weight. It is not that excellence, growth or success are wrong. It is that perfection is a courtroom.
I am done living there.
My personal challenge
Earth is ready to be finished. Those of you who joined my reader group have seen how powerful the story is starting from the first line. Chapter 6-7 are in the hopper and ready for finalization. Chapters 8-18 are done and in need only of light tuning. Chapters 19-the end are drafted and waiting for a little elbow grease. And the entire project carries a gravitational expectation that has kept me from logging into the work for weeks.
I’m in all out rebellion against performing on schedule. I’m in a personal war against excessive expectations. I’m done letting the voices of others convince me that I have to become more than I am.
I am not putting it down. I am trying to teach myself to stop treating like a debt I have to pay.
The way that is happening is WaterGeist.
Dragons, you see, in the real world, are afraid of water. Also, every tree is a life. And, one more thing, the third time is never the charm. The third time is almost always just right.
Plink was waterborne.
Waterborne were forbidden in Columbania, but the Great Republic was dying, and Plink was masked anyway. Traffic in and out of the High Seat, nestled on and around the slopes of Mt. Citadelia, dealt trade in a layer of high tension.
Haste was in the air.
Besides being masked, Plink was thinking about hyperinflation. But only for the moment. You see, Plink liked to keep a lot of balls in the air. But most of them would just get in the way of the story if I told you about them now. So, the thing to keep in mind here at the start is that every tree is a life, and that means every life needs a tree.
Dreaming about Watergeist is ignition. The workflow is play, the writing feels like a dream rather than a project, and the art doesn’t matter. But the moment I think about finishing it, it becomes a project again. Projects are endless. Projects feel like death. I have too many of them. I don’t have enough time to get them all done. I keep trying to do them for people who don’t want them anyway. But somewhere in there is a writer who just wants to enjoy his hobby and put my 10,000 hours of mastery to good work.
This season is teaching me that not everything is argument. Winning that battle means refusing to fight. Not everything can matter that much.
Thank God!
I’m learning to exit that false geometry. Not by pretending the hardship isn’t real, but by refusing to let it own my voice. The work continues. The writing continues. The teaching continues. Provision is being rebuilt in clean lines. And your partnership is part of that.
Thank you for standing with me.
More soon.
