The Head

Signals to the Body: The Directions Jesus Sends to the Church

How do you move when you’re disconnected from your head? You don’t.

Too many believers are trying to live out their faith without staying fully connected to the One who directs it all — Jesus, the Head of the Church.

In this new devotional series, Signals to the Body: The Directions Jesus Sends to the Church, we start with the truth that changes everything:
Jesus is not just part of the Church — He is the Head.

Just like the brain sends signals that tell the body how to move, balance, function, and respond, Jesus sends signals to His Body — to guide our hands, stir our hearts, send our feet, shape our thoughts, and align our purpose.

In this foundational devotional, you’ll explore how Jesus:

• Directs the Body through His Word and example

• Coordinates believers to function in unity, not competition

• Processes truth and gives us spiritual discernment

• Maintains balance in a chaotic world

• Defines identity for every believer connected to Him

You’ll also be challenged to examine where you may have disconnected — from Jesus, your identity, your calling, or your community.

In this devotional, you’ll explore:

• What it truly means for Jesus to be the Head of the Church

• How to align your personal life with the signals Christ is sending

• Why your unity, gifts, and spiritual balance matter to the health of the Body

This entry includes a practical guide:

The Rulebook — Anchoring Scriptures that reveal Christ’s role as our Head
The Casebook — Reflection questions to help you identify where disconnection may be happening
The Manual — An action step you can take this week and a prayer prompt to help you activate your gifts, eliminate offense, maintain balance, and walk in your God-given identity

If you're ready to stop “going to church” and start living as the Church—in alignment with Jesus, your Head—this is where it begins. Let’s reconnect and respond.
