COME AS
YOU ARE.
You don’t have to clean up your whole story before you come to Jesus. Bring the struggle. Bring the questions. Bring your praise.
01 / The heart of Hood Ministries
YOUR PAST
ISN’T YOUR
WHOLE STORY.
A little hood. A whole lot of grace.
Hood Ministries is where I share faith in the language of lived experience. We talk about the old self, the new walk, the hard days, and the grace that keeps calling us forward.
I’m Jestina Weems. I bring my testimony, my questions, and my praise. Through scripture lessons, honest conversations, and music, this is an invitation to follow Jesus with your whole life.
We’re here to grow in obedience, serve with wisdom, and love people without pretending the journey is easy.
A word to carry with you
“If any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 · KJV excerpt
02 / Scripture for real life
THE WORD.
THE WALK.
Read. Reflect. Put it into practice.
Faith has somewhere to go after the lesson.
01IDENTITY / GRACEGod can work with your story.

God can work with your story.
2 Corinthians 5:17
A new life in Christ does not mean you never had a past. It means your past does not get to write every chapter that comes next. Let grace call you forward, and let your choices show the direction you’re walking.
Take it with you: What old label are you ready to stop introducing yourself with?
TODAY’S STEP · Write down one new choice you can make today. Start there.
02SELF-CONTROL / GROWTHDon’t hand your peace to the old you.
+
Don’t hand your peace to the old you.
Galatians 5:22–23
Someone pushing your buttons does not have to determine your response. The fruit of the Spirit includes patience, gentleness, and self-control. Pause long enough to choose a response that agrees with the person you are becoming.
Take it with you: What does a peaceful response look like in the situation you’re facing?
TODAY’S STEP · Pause, pray, and give yourself time before you answer.
03DISCIPLESHIP / OBEDIENCEPick up your cross. Keep walking.
+
Pick up your cross. Keep walking.
Luke 9:23
Following Jesus is a daily practice. Some days the next step is serving. Some days it is telling the truth, asking forgiveness, or walking away from a habit that is costing you peace. You can take the next faithful step before you have the whole journey figured out.
Take it with you: Where is obedience asking you to move today?
TODAY’S STEP · Choose one action that puts your faith into motion.
04LOVE / WISDOMA soft heart can still have boundaries.
+
A soft heart can still have boundaries.
Romans 12:18
Love calls us to pursue peace, and wisdom helps us understand what is within our control. You can care for someone, pray for them, and still set limits around your time, your space, and how you are treated.
Take it with you: What boundary would help you serve with a healthier heart?
TODAY’S STEP · Practice one clear, kind sentence that communicates your limit.
Written reflections inspired by scripture. Open a lesson to read and reflect.
