Comeback: A New Year, A New Season

Scripture: “Do not gloat over me, my enemies! For though I fall, I will rise again. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.” (Micah 7:8, NLT)

As the new year begins, there’s one word that keeps rising in my spirit… COMEBACK.

Not the kind that makes headlines. Not the kind that demands applause. But the kind that’s quiet and holy… the kind that happens after the healing, after the surrender, after the silence.

2024 was a year of sitting still, of deep work, of trusting God in the in-between.
2025 is the year to rise. To move forward. To say yes again.

A Comeback in Ministry
I have struggled and questioned whether I’d ever feel ready again. Whether the bruises I carried disqualified me from being used. But the truth is, ministry was never about perfection, it was about obedience.

Ministry isn’t what I do. It’s who I am.

There’s a fire inside me that never fully went out. God’s call didn’t disappear when the pain came in. The Word says, “God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29, NIV)

And again, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6, NIV)

This year, I’m walking fully back into what He’s always called me to.

I’ll continue to write. To pray. To encourage. To teach.
The Priceless Minute will be a space where honesty meets hope, and where truth is shared in love.
This is the year I stop tiptoeing around my calling and step into it boldly.

A Comeback in Love
I have really wrestled with this one. I’ve asked God, “Will I ever be ready? Will I ever trust again? Can someone love and nurture my kids? Is there anyone who shares my passion for life and for the Lord?”

The truth is… I do believe in love. I do believe in the sanctity of marriage, the beauty of covenant, commitment, and Christ at the center.
I believe God restores what’s been broken, even if it looks different than I imagined.
I believe He still writes beautiful stories when we surrender the pen.

This year, I’m walking forward with an open heart. Not rushing, not forcing, but no longer closed off. I believe there’s someone who will walk with me, pray with me, and serve alongside me. Someone who knows the cost of ministry, but also the joy of it. A partner, not a fixer, not a replacement, but a woman of God who wants the same things I do: Jesus first, family strong, purpose fulfilled.

I’m not looking back. I’m trusting forward.

A Comeback for My Vision
The vision didn’t die… it was just waiting.

The Priceless Minute will launch and grow, becoming a space to write, reflect, and encourage.
The prayer center, called Kneel 24, is already in motion.
And the church? Still being prayed over, but the fire is there.

I’ve dreamed about a place where prayer never stops. Where people are discipled deeply. Where the broken find healing and the faithful find purpose. That’s not just a dream. It’s a calling. And this year, I’m taking steps toward it again.

I’m not chasing titles. I’m chasing obedience.

Rising After the Fall
One of the most powerful things about a comeback is that it doesn’t pretend the fall didn’t happen. It simply refuses to let the fall be the end of the story.

I’ve fallen. I’ve wept. I’ve sat in the dark.
But God has always been my light.

He’s taken ashes and begun turning them into beauty.
He’s taken mourning and begun giving me joy.
He’s taken despair and taught me to worship anyway.

“To all who mourn… He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.” (Isaiah 61:3, NLT)

This is the year I wear the crown. Not because I’ve arrived, but because I’ve survived. Because He is faithful. Because He is worthy. And because I believe this next season will be full of joy, purpose, and praise.

Bible Promise:
“The Lord will restore the splendor of Jacob… for the destroyers have laid them waste.” (Nahum 2:2, NLT)

Reflection Questions:

  1. What area of your life is God calling you to reclaim this year?
  2. What would a spiritual comeback look like in your heart, your home, or your calling?

Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being the God of comebacks. For not giving up on me. For walking with me through the fire and never leaving my side. I give You 2025. I lay my calling, my heart, and my dreams at Your feet. Lead me boldly into this next season, and help me walk in confidence, not in shame. I pray for every person reading this who needs a comeback of their own. Remind them that You restore, redeem, and rewrite stories.
I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise.
It’s in Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen & Amen.

The Reveal: It’s Not About Me… It Never Was

January 1, 2025

For seven years, I’ve written behind the scenes. Quietly, prayerfully, and anonymously as The Hidden Pastor. It was never about hiding in fear. It was about staying faithful in a season when visibility could have become a distraction. Silence wasn’t weakness… it was wisdom.

At the time, I was serving in ministry alongside my wife, who was the children’s pastor at our church. Her role was public, and rightly so. She was doing incredible, God-glorifying work. The last thing I wanted was for anything I wrote to cast a shadow, shift attention, or draw people away from what God was doing through her or the ministry we were part of. So I stayed behind the curtain, writing in the quiet, under a name that fit that season.

And in that hiddenness, God met me. He shaped me. He healed me. He gave me words when I had no voice, strength when I felt emptied, and clarity when everything around me felt uncertain. Through pain and pruning, He reminded me of the call He placed on my life long ago. A call to teach, to counsel, to shepherd, and to write. Not to elevate myself, but to lift up the name that saves… Jesus.

Today, that season shifts.

As of January 1, 2025, I’m stepping forward. Not to be seen, but to be faithful. From this day on, I’ll be writing under my real name…Pastor Jason Price.

Not because the mission has changed. But because it’s time.

I still believe with all my heart that this work isn’t about me. It never has been. And that’s why, in this new season, I’ll continue to remind myself and others…
It’s not about Jason Price—it’s about Jesus Christ.

So what’s next?

I’m excited to introduce something that’s been developing behind the scenes for years, something I’ve prayed over, written into, and poured my heart into through every season of joy, heartbreak, silence, and growth. It’s called The Priceless Minute.

This blog series is made up of short, Scripture-rooted reflections. Some are personal. Some are theological. Some are raw and messy. Others are more structured and practical. But all of them are real. Every word has come from a place of deep conviction and a genuine love for the Church.

You’ll notice the dates on many of these blogs go back years. That’s intentional. These were written in real time, in real seasons, even if they’re just now being shared publicly. You might even notice the tone shift a bit as you read. That’s okay. That’s growth. That’s the beauty of letting God use every season to teach and refine us.

My prayer is that The Priceless Minute becomes more than a blog. I hope it becomes a place of encouragement, challenge, and truth; something that meets you right where you are and points you straight to Jesus.

So whether you’re coming over from other platforms and have been here from the beginning, or today’s your first visit… welcome.

Let’s grow together. Let’s kneel in prayer, rise in faith, and walk in obedience. Let’s fix our eyes on Jesus and follow Him boldly.

Because it was never about the name at the bottom of the page.
It’s always been about the name above every name.

In His service,
Pastor Jason Price

Rooted Before Ready

Scripture:
The godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God.
Psalm 92:12–13 (NLT)

We live in a world that’s obsessed with being ready. Ready for the promotion. Ready for the platform. Ready for the next step.

But God is more interested in whether we’re rooted.

Roots are what keep us grounded when storms hit. They’re what hold us in place when everything else is shaking. And in the Kingdom, being rooted in Christ matters more than being ready in the eyes of people.

I’ve had seasons where I begged God to use me more, but I hadn’t let Him grow me deeper.

He’s teaching me that being hidden isn’t a waste. It’s a gift. It’s the time to develop, to dig in, to become steady. To let truth go deep enough that it anchors me no matter what comes.

Because the truth is, being rooted is what makes you ready.

Bible Promise:
Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord… they will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.
Jeremiah 17:7–8 (NIV)

Reflection Questions:

  1. Are you focusing more on being ready or being rooted?
  2. What can you do this week to strengthen your spiritual foundation?

Prayer:

Father, grow me deeper before You take me further. Help me not to chase moments I’m not yet rooted enough to carry. Plant me firmly in Your Word, in Your presence, and in Your truth. I want to be steady, strong, and anchored in You. I give You all honor, all the glory, and all the praise. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen & Amen.
