That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

I Corinthians 2:5

Our communities have learned that every voice promising hope is not worthy of our trust, which is why Paul reminds us in I Corinthians 2:5 that our faith should "not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." Encountering The Holy begins when we stop building our lives on shifting opinions, popular trends, and human approval, and instead anchor our confidence in the unchanging power and presence of God. What is High and Lifted Up is a life rooted so deeply in God's power that disappointment cannot define you, criticism cannot derail you, and success cannot distract you from your purpose. Dream Big, because God's power can accomplish what human logic says is impossible, opening doors that credentials alone cannot unlock and creating futures that fear could never imagine. Decide To Become someone whose convictions are shaped more by God's promises than by the loudest voices around you, knowing that lasting transformation always begins with a settled faith. Demonstrate Your Power by living with quiet confidence, pursuing excellence with humility, uplifting your family and community, and showing the next generation that when faith stands on God's power instead of human applause, ordinary people become extraordinary witnesses who live High and Lifted Up.
