The Stick of Ephraim and My Calling Today
Written for Josyah, Hyrum, Wyatt — and all those walking with purpose
This morning during my devotional, I was struck with clarity — the Stick of Ephraim wasn’t just a scripture reference from Ezekiel. It felt personal, like God speaking directly into the season I’m in.
As I reflected on Ezekiel’s vision — two sticks becoming one in God’s hand — I saw myself.

Two Worlds, One Purpose
One hand holds the Stick of Judah — my foundation in scripture, in Christ, in family. The other holds the Stick of Ephraim — the mission I feel called to:
• Building prosperity,
• Healing homes with Christ’s love,
• Mentoring leaders through ProsperShip,
• Launching new beginnings in Cleveland for those ready to build businesses centered on the Savior.
Spiritual leadership and financial empowerment — once separate — are now becoming one in God’s hands. I’m simply striving to be worthy to hold them both.

This Isn’t Just My Story — It’s Ours
To my boys:
You are the reason I wake early, pray hard, and keep going. What I’m building is your inheritance — not just in money, but in faith, character, and covenant.
To those I mentor:
You came looking for a career. What you found was a calling. You are part of a restoration — a gathering of Ephraim to lead with faith, serve with love, and rise with purpose.

My Invitation Today
If you’re reading this, you are here by divine design.
Ask yourself:
• What parts of your life need to become one in God’s hand?
• How do you step into your role as a modern-day gatherer?
• Can you see that both your past and your purpose are sacred?

The Stick of Ephraim isn’t just a symbol. It’s a reminder: God is still writing scripture through the families we raise, the missions we build, and the “yes” we give Him daily.
Let’s live worthy of the story He’s telling through us.
With love and purpose,
E. Winsor
