The Good News That Changes Everything










Hey Cross Woven family, it’s shyanne here!

I want to talk to you about something that’s been on my heart lately. It’s a verse that gives me chills every time I read it because it reminds me of how powerful and unstoppable God's love is. It's from Matthew 24:14:

"And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come."

Just think about that for a second. The Good News—Jesus' message of love, hope, forgiveness, and salvation—is going to reach every corner of this world. Imagine that! Every nation, every culture, every language... hearing about Jesus.

But here's what I really want to talk about: our role in this mission.

As teenagers, it can sometimes feel like we don’t have much of a voice in this big, loud world. With school, social media, friends, and figuring out who we are, it’s easy to think, “What can I do? How can I help spread this Good News?” But Jesus sees us differently. He sees our potential to make a difference. He doesn’t wait for us to grow older or become ‘more experienced’—He wants to work through us right now.

So How Can We Be Part of This?

  1. Be Bold in Your Faith
    First things first, don’t be afraid to talk about your faith. You don’t have to preach a sermon (unless that’s your calling!), but you can be a light in your conversations, your social media posts, and how you treat others. Even just sharing a Bible verse or talking about something Jesus has done in your life can plant a seed in someone’s heart.

  2. Pray for the World
    Prayer is powerful. Even when we feel small, our prayers are heard by a mighty God. Pray for people in other countries who have never heard the name of Jesus. Pray that God will send missionaries and give courage to those sharing the gospel. Pray for open hearts everywhere.

  3. Live Out the Good News
    Let your life be an example of Jesus’ love. We live in a time where people are searching for something real—something that brings peace in a world that can feel chaotic. By living out love, kindness, and grace, we show the world what the Kingdom of God looks like.

  4. Support Missions
    Even if we can’t travel the world right now, we can still support those who are going to preach the gospel in faraway places. This might look like donating, raising awareness, or even being part of a mission trip when the time is right.

The Bigger Picture

Here’s the thing: Jesus has called all of us to be part of this incredible story. It’s like being on the world’s greatest team, where the end goal is that everyone gets a chance to know the love of Jesus. It might seem overwhelming at times, but God is doing the heavy lifting. We just need to show up with our hearts open, ready to be used by Him.

As a 17-year-old, I get it—life is complicated and busy. But Jesus wants to work through you, exactly where you are right now. Whether that’s in your high school, with your friends, or online, you have the opportunity to share His love and be part of this global mission.

The Good News is going to reach every nation, and the best part? We get to be part of that story. How amazing is that?

Let’s go out there and be a generation that boldly carries the Good News to the world. After all, we’re Cross Woven—our lives are intertwined with Jesus and His mission. Let’s live like it.

Much love,
Autum

5 Simple Ways to Honor God in Everyday Life

 As Christians, our lives are meant to be a reflection of God’s love, grace, and truth. Honoring God is more than just going to church on Sundays—it’s about living out His Word in every moment of our lives. Whether you’re a teen balancing school, friendships, and family, or an adult navigating your own challenges, here are five simple ways we can honor God every day. 1. Live with Integrity One of the most powerful ways to honor God is by living with integrity. Colossians 3:23 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Whether it's being honest with our friends, giving our best effort in school or work, or making decisions that align with God's will, living with integrity shows that we respect God’s truth and care about His opinion above all. 2. Speak Words of Life Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that "the tongue has the power of life and death." How we speak to others matters. Are our words building oth...

Finding Faith as a Teen: My Journey

Image
  Hey everyone! My name is Shyanne Autum, and I'm 17 years old. Today, I want to share a bit about my journey of faith and what it means to me to be a Christian teenager in today’s world. Growing up, I always knew about God, but it wasn't until a few years ago that I truly began to comprehend the depth of His love for us. Like many teenagers, I faced my own set of challenges—school stress, friendships, and figuring out who I am. It was during these times of uncertainty that I started seeking something more, something that could provide me with a sense of peace and direction. I remember one particularly tough week when everything seemed to go wrong. I felt overwhelmed and alone. In my frustration, I turned to prayer, asking God for guidance and strength. It was a simple prayer, but it marked the beginning of my personal relationship with Him. Slowly, I began to notice a change within myself. The more I prayed and read the Bible, the more I felt a sense of calm and purpose. Being...
