CWS Ministries exists to equip believers with biblical teaching, discipleship resources, and Christ-centered conversations that inspire them to live out their faith boldly. Through preaching, teaching, and media, we seek to empower individuals and churches to grow spiritually and impact the world for Christ.
BeLED is more than a message—it’s a call to action. We exist to empower believers to shine as Light Emitting Disciples in every aspect of life. Through The LED Podcast, biblical studies, and engaging discussions on faith and culture, we challenge followers of Christ to not just believe, but to be led by the Spirit in everyday life.

The One Where We Got Wise
NEW!
🎙️ Episode 7 — The One Where We Got Wise
Featuring: George Williams
In this episode of The LED Podcast, I’m joined by Bro. George Williams — minister, mentor, and one of my personal senseis in the faith. We dive into the beauty and burden of wisdom: how we gain it, how we apply it, and what happens when we ignore it. From ministry lessons to life tips, Bro. Williams drops gems that are both hilarious and holy.
We also reflect on how wisdom isn’t just about age — it’s about obedience, reflection, and godly community. And yes, there's a story about how he almost made me cry (in the best way).
💡 LED Spotlight:
How Bro. Williams is shining his light through ministry, mentorship, and spiritual formation while finishing his Doctor of Ministry.
😂 Kingdom Culture Moment:
The wisdom Sensei gave me was funny but facts. Sometimes God teaches through laughter — and this moment proves it.
❓ God Questions Segment:
What is true wisdom, and how do we get it?
We discuss James 1, the role of suffering in shaping wisdom, and why discernment matters more now than ever.
✋🏾 Training in Righteousness:
The Practice of Reflective Listening
This episode reminds us that wisdom listens first. We explore the discipline of pausing, asking deeper questions, and resisting the urge to fix instead of understand.
🎧 Note: This was our first remote recording — the audio isn’t perfect, but the content is pure gold. Bro. Williams is in the final stretch of his D.Min, and I’m grateful he made time to pour into us. Thanks for your grace!

The One Where We Choose Love
🎙️ Episode 6 — The One Where We Choose Love
In this episode of The LED Podcast, my wife joins me for a real and raw conversation about love, discipleship, and covenant. We tackle the idea of whether God sends godly spouses to people who aren't living for Him and why spiritual alignment matters more than many realize.
Then, we reflect on our recent date night and review the movie Sinners from a Christian perspective. Is it simply entertainment, or does it show us hard truths about temptation and sin? We discuss how film and faith intersect and how brokenness often mirrors biblical truth.
💡 God Questions Segment:
What’s the big deal about sex before marriage?
We talk about why sex was designed to thrive in the covenant of marriage, how culture distorts it, and the consequences when intimacy is taken outside God’s design.
✋🏾 Training in Righteousness:
The Discipline of Confession
This week, I introduce a freeing spiritual practice: dividing your life into seven-year periods, writing down hidden sins, finding a trusted confession partner, and fully embracing God’s forgiveness. You don’t have to carry guilt forever — confession leads to freedom.

“If your ekklessia/church isn't a disruption to or at least in opposition to this present world, your ekklessia/Church may not actually be called out of anything. The ekklesia is a NATION within a nation. We are called out of the world to then go back into it and be an influence. Do you have a work visa from the Lord?”
