Our Motto and Yours: Live the Code
Live the Code isn’t just a motto—it’s a call to embody the prophetic rhythms of the Beatitudes in our daily lives. It means embracing the transformative power of grace, living with humility, mercy, and love, and allowing the Spirit to shape us into who we were created to be. The book, Beatitude Code, is not a rulebook—it’s a way of being, a path of freedom, and a journey of faith. When we Live the Code, we see ourselves as peacemakers and children of God, here and now, carrying light into a world that longs for hope.

I remember the moment as if it were etched into the fabric of time itself—a seven-year-old boy in Albany, Georgia, wandering the aisles of the Woolworth store, my small hand wrapped in my mother’s. The air was thick with the scent of fresh popcorn and waxed linoleum, but beyond the doors, something greater stirred.
