Hi ,

This week, we enter the courtroom — and the battlefield — with Commissioner Ariel, twin sister to Starr, and the chosen protector of a city built on faith.

In Chapter 6: “God Reigns,” the Champion Trait is Humility, and the Name of God revealed is El Elyon — The Most High God — the One who rules over every court, every critic, and every outcome.

Did you know each chapter stands alone as it’s own story? Even if you are just joining the Book Club, or you are catching up, don’t hesitate to dive right into Chapter 6, a powerful and emotional story.

📝 Chapter 6 Summary:

When Ariel revives a historic dome and includes the city seal declaring “God Reigns”, she doesn’t just spark a renovation — she ignites a war. A well-known atheist, determined to erase faith from Zion’s identity, takes her to court. Soon, signs demanding her resignation plaster the city, and a mocking RV blares “GOD IS NOT REAL” outside City Hall.

Ariel responds not with outrage, but with humility. She doesn’t fight back in the flesh — she stays surrendered in the Spirit. Even in court, facing the same judge who ruled against Zion 20 years ago, she chooses grace over pride.

And when the judge unexpectedly dismisses the case, God’s sovereignty is undeniable. But the final word isn’t spoken in court — it’s written in fire when the atheist crashes his plane on the founder’s grave.

Ariel doesn’t celebrate.

She prays.

Because humility doesn’t gloat — it gives glory back to God.

🏆 Champion Trait: Humility

✝️ Name of God:
El Elyon – The Most High God
He reigns over rulers, critics, courts, and storms — and He still reigns over you.

🕊️ Reflection Questions:

Today’s Prayer:
 El Elyon, Sovereign King,

When opposition rises and the pressure feels overwhelming, remind me that You still reign.

Teach me to walk in humility — not shrinking back, but standing firm with grace.

Help me trust You to fight battles I can’t see and stay kind even when it’s hard.

Like Ariel, I choose to surrender, not to fear, but to Your authority.

Let my strength be found in quiet confidence that You are always on the throne.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Until next time — keep walking by faith,
