ChatGPT Prompt

1. Circles incarnate friendship with Jesus.
Not alliances. Not clubs. Not platforms.
Circles. Of trust. Of truth.
Where Jesus is not a mascot or metaphor — but a Friend who walks through walls.
2. Stewards hold tension — between where we do and don’t see Christ.
Stewardship isn’t ownership.
It’s a practiced discomfort.
A sacred burden between revelation and absence.
Where Christ is visible in some — and hidden in others.
And we do not pretend otherwise.
3. Each tension is iteratively resolved by a cross.
Not a workaround. Not a strategy.
A cruciform solution.
Every cycle bends toward surrender.
Every path leads through death before it births life.
This is not a metaphor.
This is the ring.
4. Culture isn’t the goal.
Culture is what cracks.
It is what breaks — to reveal Christ beneath.
It is the brittle skin around the eternal.
Christ isn’t built by culture.
He is revealed when culture fails.
A Ringless Gym is Not a Church.
We don’t gather for mirrors.
We gather for the fight.
Where pain is not a bug, but a signal.
Where the cross is not an ornament, but a training ground.
Where faith is tested — and tension held — until resurrection has its way.
