Over this last year, God has been allowing the message “Be the One” to resonate with so many people.  I’m starting to hear testimony after testimony of how God is using His people to make a difference and I’m super stoked about it. Your stories of victory, mishaps and even rejection help others to engage and not stay on the sidelines.  So that your stories can be collected and shared to be a encouragement to all, we have set up betheonestories@stevensexton.com. Please take a moment and send one to us today. (more…)

So Christmas is literally around the corner and I have to ask myself what am I celebrating? Is it about the gifts, Santa, and shopping.  Is it because I get a few days off of work (which I’m grateful for)? How about the great food, sweets, and hot chocolate? What about the celebrated Christmas movies that encourage you to believe in Christmas, forgo selfishness, and embrace the spirit of Christmas? What spirit is that again…the spirit of materialism, the spirit of tolerance, or the spirit of humanity? As Christians, the spirit we want activated in our lives is the Holy Spirit which teaches us all things and shows us how to love and how to give.  This last year I have written a book called Be the One, and it is my hope to see this concept stay active even at Christmas time.  Below I have written three ways that will help you be the one this Christmas.

Is God safe? Predictable? Regimented? No way. God is a supernatural creator, who is always out of the box with His thoughts. When He speaks, it changes the world.  When He moves, you can see the effects of where he has been.  When He is quiet the world stands in attention, waiting to hear from Him.  When He loves, sin has no place to hide.   That’s some crazy stuff.  I wrote a couple of weeks ago about “Crazy Faith”, and today I’d like to share a  quick crazy faith tip. (more…)

People have a fixation with crazy. So much so artists write songs about “let’s get crazy”, “crazy”, and if the song (you drive me)…CRAZY by Britney Spear just popped in your head.. Yep…you just proved my point. Sometimes we use the word crazy as a way of describing something unbelievable. Like a great catch, score, or game in which we respond with, (more…)

Greetings to all!  I’m so honored that you would take a second to check out the site! During the next few weeks I’ll be giving away 100 books to some of the most incredible people ever…YOUTH PASTORS!  God is so good!!! I hope your week at Youth America was life changing and that God did a great work in the lives of your students. It is true… the local church is the greatest place ever!!!!

This is my site…let’s connect!!!  Please take the time to give Be the One a read!  Like I mentioned in the video, I know the content will help connect those students looking to engage and for those who are sold out passionately for God.  Can’t wait to hear from you guys and gals! Let’s Change the world!!!

At High Point listening to Tim Barton of Wall builders.  Dude is banging it out….He is bringing to life the Christian Heritage of American History.  It’s sad so many people don’t know the truth about God’s hand on our great nation.  If you have time next week…we still have openings for camp!  Let’s change the world!

When Be the One came out at the end of  January there’s no denying that i  had high hopes for the book and it’s content.  However now only five months later I’m truly humbled to see all that God has done!  Even as I type this the mini is packed again with all the car seats in check (breath easy mom’s) this van is loaded to the tilt. As the fam-fam and i are going to share the Be the One message.  I should be in bed right now but i can’t sleep because I’m overwhelmed at God’s favor!  He is so good, not because I’m good, or I deserve good things…because I don’t. Roman’s clearly says that All have fallen short of the glory of God. Yet, I have seen first hand when God puts something in you He will in his perfect timing allow it to come out!  Already we have seen many salvation’s and received feedback as young people are taking a stand to proclaim Christ. I also got the opportunity to film a thirty minute show on the TCT network and talk about the book. Plus, in the last few months I’ve been able to minister the Be the One  message in six different ministries and pastors are still calling.   As if that is not enough there are youth pastors who are starting to go through the
Be the One book with their students.  As you read this you might think that i’m bragging, but that’s not it at all. I’m blown away!  (if you only knew how many times i have to proofread everything i do….)  If anything I’m bragging on my God!  He is faithful to complete what He starts! I wasn’t going to post this but i believe there is someone who will read this and their dream will once again surge inside of them, as they choose to believe that GOD WILL!   Don’t you dare give up on the dream God has placed in your heart.  You will get married! That business will happen.  The financing that you need for college will be there! Don’t quit and don’t give up!   Thanks for taking the time to read this update.  I pray that you will be encouraged to DO the thing God has put in your heart!  BE THE ONE!  Let’s change the world!
