My name is Kenny Pittman, I am writer who isn’t published, a golfer who isn’t a pro, a minister who doesn’t have a title and an entrepreneur who doesn’t own his own business. However, I maintain there are more lofty goals in life than being famous, perfectly fit, or rich. I enjoy my life, my wife, my family, my friends and have figured out that the small things matter most. And so, I write about it.
I have been married to my lovely wife Sheila for fifteen years. We have six children Kedric, Kendrica, Vincent, Brandon, Veronica, and Shanta. I am a native of Calhoun City, MS. and my wife is a native of Albany GA., we now reside in Indinapolis, IN.
I accepted my calling into the ministry in 1997. At that time I owned a trucking company and in 2005 I sold out and went into ministry full time.
After experiencing institutionalized church and seeing the negtive impact it can have on people my heart became heavy. Church was so different on the inside looking out than it was on the outside looking in. As I saw the focus of the church was on membership and not relationship, on tithes (money) and not being good stewards themselves.
In October, 15 2007 at 9:00AM God showed me something that changed my life. I quit my job in the institutionalized church as a hired hand and resigned my membership to institutionalized church forever. Over the next seven months God allow me to feel what it was like to be crucified by religious people.
After much prayer, fasting and healing from what we call “church hurt”. God is leading me to teach and write about my experiences and help people see God beyond institutionalized church, to really experience the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Thank You for visiting my website, I hope it is informative and enjoyable.
From the heart of God’s servant much love towards you.
Humbly,
Kenny Pittman

Just Do It
A couple of years ago I went to visit my father in Mississippi, as I drove around a city that once appeared BIG to me, now seems so little with no hope. As I talked to people who once had big dreams; they are still dreaming because they are still talking and doing nothing. As I search for a deeper understanding of who I am, God reveals a revelation of who He wants us to be. Today show someone God’s love not by your words, but by your actions.
This morning I walked to the Church I grew up in, the doors were locked. I found a gentleman who was a Deacon and he unlocked the doors and let me go inside. What I discovered on the inside was even more amazing, it was cold, empty and no activity. The gentleman told me I should have been there Sunday, because the Pastor preached a word. Today as I was looking inside the Church the word appears to have been only talk, because the Church was cold, empty and without actions. You are the Church, if God opened you up today what would people see?
Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18
In Other Words
God’s children should do more than talk lovingly or speak the language of love; love and truth must also be revealed by their actions.
We are God’s children
Our behavior should reveal His love
Loving talk is not enough
Talk of loving is not enough
Love of talking is not enough
What we do reveals who we are
We are His. He is ours. All because of love
The love in His truth comforts us
The truth in His love directs us
Love of His truth protects us
The truth of His love encourages us
The truth from His love guides us
Love from His truth inspires us
Questions and Thoughts to Aid Digestion
Do you talk, or do you do? Do you talk about what you do, or do what you talk about?
Do you walk it out after you talk it out?
Have you ever talked yourself out of expressing or accepting love?
Think about one of your habits or actions that express His love. Now one more. Was that hard?
Can your actions be loving and yet not truthful?
How does one express love by truthful actions?
Are honesty and truth the synonyms for the same thing, or are they different?
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to either talk less and do more or do more when I talk more. Amen.
