Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...
Allow me to reintroduce myself…. My name is Joel. Joel David Barnes, first of his name. I want to reintroduce myself because it’s time. It’s time for me to explain what the future of my life will be. My mission in life. My purpose in life. I’m a pastor. And I wasn’t made a pastor in the…

What If Your Purpose Is Already Inside of You?
It’s almost one o’clock in the morning, and I’m sitting here simply in awe of what we get to bring into the world. If you listened to my last brain dump... testimony... whatever we’re calling these things... you heard a little bit of the origin story behind why spiritual gifts matter so much to…

How I Heard HIM this week…
This is what it looks like to be physically on E while spiritually bursting at the seams. It’s not a flattering video, but it is an honest capture of an important moment in my ministry life. As much as I enjoy polishing a well-crafted written piece, I believe there is tremendous power in the raw,...

Before You Call It a Spiritual Gift
Share. A Piece: Before You Call It a Spiritual Gift Clearing up the confusion before we try to identify it We’ve spent the first two pieces in this series slowing down. First, we asked: What are spiritual gifts actually for? Then we asked: How might the people around us help us recognize what God...

Maybe Your Spiritual Gift Is Easier for Everyone Else to See
Share. A Piece: Maybe Your Spiritual Gift Is Easier for Everyone Else to See Discerning What Others May Already See in You. In the last Share. A Piece, I asked a question that I haven’t really been able to stop thinking about: Who gets stronger when you show up? I was talking about spiritual…

Convict. Confirm. Question.
We are consuming more Christian content than probably any generation before us. Sermons. Clips. Podcasts. Reels. Devotionals. YouTube. TikTok theologians. Pastors we know. Pastors we’ve never met. People with microphones, platforms, Bible verses in their bios, and an opinion about almost...

Share. A Piece: What Are Spiritual Gifts Actually For?
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about spiritual gifts. Partly because we’re beginning to explore them in my 2:42 discipleship group, and partly because I think a lot of us have been taught to approach spiritual gifts by immediately asking one question: What’s mine? What is my…

Wanna know why my faith is strong?
Wanna know why my faith is strong? First of all, it is unmistakable to me that God has given me the gift of faith as something He wants me to share. I can tell you for certain that there’s a supernatural gift…and responsibility…on my life regarding faith. There’s a whole rabbit hole I could go…

Although I Have Been Disabled, He Is More Than Able
Today is my birthday. Forty-eight years young. Birthdays have become one of my favorite spiritual disciplines because they force me to pause and reflect. Reflection is one of my secret weapons. It invites God into the story. It allows me to look back and ask questions I don’t usually ask in the...

Is AI Discipling Us?
The danger is not simply that artificial intelligence may be wrong. The danger is that we may become so accustomed to immediate answers that we lose our ability to seek God, endure uncertainty and grow in the tension of waiting. Let me begin with the necessary disclaimer. I use artificial...

One person at a time
One Person at a Time I make content for one person at a time. I have always written my pieces for one person at a time. I’ve always cared for the one person who “needed to hear that” when I communicate. Some might say that I’m not thinking big enough, or that what I do isn’t scalable enough to be...

Intentional Care
I can distinctly remember walking into my grandfather’s house as a kid and smelling his Italian gravy, as he would call it. That smell wafting through the house as we walked in the front door, through the front room, and into his kitchen off to the left. It was easy to track down the source of…

God vs. Not God
The Spiritual Difference Between Peace and Pettiness If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know that I see God in the IMPOSSIBLE. I’m a huge nerd and numbers guy so if I pick up on something that is a mathematically impossibly good thing, I try to give the credit STRAIGHT to God. But…

Convicted or Affirmed…
I just want to share something that I thought was the result of years now of contemplating and thinking through, and wondering, like, God, what do we do with this? And it has to do with the fact that we get so much information at such a rapid pace. There’s so much content. There’s a need for a...

Blessed & Bruised: The Bridge Between Seasons
Substack—what’s up, guys? Seems like maybe a long time since I’ve done something specifically for Substack, but the reality is God has had me creating in so many ways lately. He’s had me contemplating, writing shorts, recording short videos, and telling a lot of the story of my past season—some…

Compassion over the Comment Section
I believe the evil one himself has draped a veil of confusion and deceit over the eyes of every American. Maybe you feel it too. Because somewhere along the way, we stopped assuming we were hearing the truth. From the press room to the pulpit.From headlines to hashtags.From platforms to podiums.…

1 Year Ago, I gave Up Isolation For Lent and It Changed My Life
One Year Ago I gave Up Isolation For Lent One year ago today, I gave up isolation for Lent. I’m going to tell you about how that changed my life. In order to make sense of the concept of “giving up isolation”, I need to give you a quick summary of my previous season and to understand my previous...

A Love Letter to H
I wanna tell you guys a story today. The story of the love of my life. To accurately tell the story, I have to give you a bit of a recap as to how we got here in the first place. On June 11, 2007, Hannah Marie Barnes was born. Her mother and I had a 2 1/2 year relationship but had decided to...

Let Me Show You How Clever the Devil Is…
On November 26th, 2025, At 3:15am I thought I started having a heart attack. I was completely knocked out asleep and I felt something happen in my chest that I can only compare to the feeling of a butterfly the size of a frisbee fully contracting its wings once violently and then maintaining an...

Eradicating Isolation: The Story Behind SHAREapy

The Pressure To Report
The Pressure to Report (You can watch this video on our YouTube page HERE)I feel like I’m supposed to come on here and talk to you all about the pressure that we’re feeling in the world to report everything. I feel like this has been coming up a lot in my personal life. And while I may not feel…

Listening to God in the Storm… waking up with an overdrawn bank account. Again. 🤷🏽♂️
I really didn’t wanna share this. Just being honest. But I felt convicted in a few ways yesterday that, in my recent excitement in all that God is doing, I have begun to inadvertently edit out my bruises and my pain. It’s probably not inadvertent, at all. Who wants to share the hard parts? Who...

He is so much better to me than my thoughts...
He is so much better to me than my thoughts… I’m starting this piece with tears hanging on the shelf of my lower eye lashes… After confessing some very difficult thoughts about my last few weeks of life, I then began to shame myself for the fact that I thought that way in the first place. As I…

"He knows what you need before you even pray for it..."
Listen, I felt like I should sit down and record the impossibility of this day and the last few days… and this fell out. I am starting a more formal format for podcasting and SHAREing and even though it’ll probably, technically, get better than this… I genuinely pray that every time I open my...

What’s the best compliment that anyone could give you?
That was the question of the day today from my physical therapist, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Of course I have to set the story up a bit better than that, but I promise, I’ll answer it, too. Rough starts to my day are kinda normal, at this point. I was dealing with the usual...

Rainbows and Butterflies
It’s time for an update! I’ve been wanting to do this and dreading doing this (at the same time) for a long time. I have so many prayer warriors. 😭 🙏🏽 So many. And I am so so thankful. So many people from my mom’s Facebook page that have steadily held me and my family up in prayer … so many...

How to Pray and Receive Prayer (Intercession)
For this weeks deeper dive into a scripture, I wanted to look at a concept in the Bible that I believe is one of the most powerful. As you guys know… I’m big on this concept of SHAREing. My mission is to teach people to share their blessings and their bruises to connect with love and empathy....

Honor Thy Mother and Father - A Release From Bondage
For my whole life, this scripture, in particular, has been very very difficult to navigate. It has felt like an impossible task, at times. It has felt like something I would never be able to truly accomplish… if I’m being honest. As I have done work in and through therapy, the goal line of...

Psalm 73
Psalm 73 1 Psalm 73 A psalm of Asaph. 1 Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. 2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. 3 For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy...

“God we got 9 minutes… let’s get into it 💪🏽😤💪🏽”
“God we got 9 minutes… let’s get into it 💪🏽😤💪🏽” So I’m sitting here on the corner of the streets that intersect at my kids school. To be exact, I’m laying on a bench. Hannah had a game tonight. I wasn’t feeling good at all, today. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually… none of it....

BobTom
BobTom I haven’t really had the strength to write this yet. But I just got a gust of “write it now” wind… so I’m stopping a text conversation mid-sentence to rush over here and write this piece about my friend, who I miss, and his dear wife, that I have come to love, as much as I love him. Here’s...

Day 3 - Do I Believe In "God's Timing"?

Isolation
Isolation See…I gotta write this one out. The last couple, I needed to record with no filter. And that was fine… sometimes I have to turn the firehouse on and let it rip. But… for this entry… since I kinda don’t wanna do it… I have to give myself a bit more of a script to read from. I think this...
