This House belongs to Christ.

Dear Friend,

If you have found your way here, I am grateful you came.

The House of Eden™ was never intended to become another organization, another platform, or another collection of disconnected programs.

It was born from a simple conviction: Jesus did not merely call His followers to gather people. He commanded us to make disciples.

Over time, I began to see discipleship as the thread connecting everything God was placing before me — Scripture, prayer, community, leadership, service, stewardship, and the generations coming behind us.

There were moments when I could see pieces of the assignment before I understood the whole.

Women gathering before sunrise to pray. Brothers and sisters opening Scripture together. Young women needing wisdom and mentorship. Men needing authentic brotherhood. People carrying burdens, searching for discernment, and longing to become more deeply rooted in Christ.

I kept asking the Lord, “What am I supposed to build with all of this?”

And somewhere along the way, I realized I had been asking the wrong question.

This was never mine to build for myself. It was His to establish, and mine to steward.

That realization changed the way I approached everything.

I stopped asking, “How big can this become?” and began asking, “Lord, how do I faithfully care for what You have placed in my hands?”

That is still the question I carry.

The House is not the foundation.

Jesus Christ is the foundation.

“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.”

1 Corinthians 3:11

Everything within this House begins with Christ, is surrendered to Christ, and should ultimately lead people back to Christ.

My prayer is not that people become impressed by The House of Eden™.

My prayer is that through every gathering, conversation, prayer, teaching, and relationship, people become increasingly anchored in Jesus.

That they know His Word. Recognize His voice. Depend upon Him in prayer. Walk in step with the Holy Spirit. And remain connected to His Body.

Lydia helped me understand the assignment.

The Lord kept bringing me back to Lydia of Thyatira, and the more I sat with her story, the more I began to understand what He might be asking of me.

Scripture introduces Lydia as a woman of influence and commerce, but what captured my heart was not what she had accomplished.

It was what happened when the Lord opened her heart.

She opened her home.

Her influence became hospitality. Her resources became stewardship. Her home became a place where believers could gather and be strengthened.

And I began to wonder: What if God was asking me to open what He had placed in my hands in the same way?

Not to build a platform around myself. Not to gather people around my name. But to make room.

That was when the House began to make sense to me.

My prayer for you is simple.

My prayer is not that you become dependent upon this House.

My prayer is that you become deeply dependent upon Jesus Christ.

That every conversation anchors you more firmly in His Word.

That every prayer teaches you to depend more fully upon Him.

That every gathering helps you recognize the Father’s voice through Scripture.

That every relationship reminds you that you belong to His Body.

And that every opportunity equips you to faithfully steward what God has entrusted to you.

I do not know everything this House will become. I do not believe I am supposed to.

My responsibility is to remain close enough to Christ to hear Him, humble enough to be corrected by Him, and obedient enough to move when He says move — and to stop when He says stop.

So I hold this House with open hands.

And for as long as the Lord allows me to steward it, my prayer will remain the same: that no one leaves impressed with the House, but that many leave having encountered Jesus more deeply.

May you continually return to His Word, remain devoted to prayer, walk in step with His Spirit, and stay connected to His Body.

May your life become a testimony that quietly points another person to Jesus Christ — the true Vine.

Because disciples make disciples.
