Where It All Began

Other About

The phrase “We need this hour” wasn’t part of a big campaign. It didn’t come from a brainstorming meeting or a marketing plan. It came from a moment—real, unscripted, and honest—shared by Pastor Lee during a Sunday morning message at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Norfolk, Nebraska.

The sanctuary was filled with real people, showing up with busy lives, heavy hearts, and the kind of tired that runs deeper than sleep can fix. And as Pastor Lee stood at the front of the room, he said what so many were already feeling:

“Folks, we need this hour.”

He went on to describe how, week after week, despite all the ways he had failed or fallen short, he still showed up. And every Sunday, he’d half-joke that surely Jesus was going to extinguish his tiki torch and vote him off the island. But instead, grace showed up again. And again.

The torch stayed lit.

He was still on the team.

And so were we.

That message—raw, relatable, and deeply true—stuck with people.  And, over time, it became clear: this wasn’t just a throwaway line. It was a lifeline. A rhythm. A reset. A recognition that one hour a week spent intentionally – whether in worship, in prayer, in silence, or with family or friends—makes a difference.

Why One Hour Matters

This hour is more than a service—it’s a reset. A space for encouragement, connection, and renewal. It’s where grace meets truth, and where we’re reminded of the unchanging scoreboard: Jesus already won, which means we do too. But this moment isn’t limited to a building or a livestream. It’s found in conversations during long drives, quiet prayers at the dinner table, or laughs shared with a friend. It’s in the sacred moments God gives us every day—blessings disguised as connection, worship, and rest.  

It’s not about where you are. It’s about carving out the time. Time to refill your cup, reset your heart, and reconnect with the truth of God’s Word.

Sharing the Message

We learned that this message is too important to keep to ourselves. That’s why we’re sharing it through apparel that speaks—hats, hoodies, and shirts designed to start conversations and spread hope. A simple reminder worn boldly: One hour can change everything… and we all need this hour. We’re not here to impress. We’re here to remind. Every week. Jesus already won. And if He won, we win too. 

Welcome to the community. You belong here. You need this hour. And so do we.

We invite you to partner with us—help us share the hope, start the conversations, and remind others that grace always shows up.
