More Presence, Less Programming: Jerry Lewis of Center, Texas Blueprint for Real Ministry
“We Don’t Need More Programs – We Need More People Willing to Show Up and Care,” Says Center, TX Minister Jerry Lewis
Michigan, US, 5th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In an era when churches invest heavily in strategic planning and outreach programming, Center, TX minister and builder Jerry Lewis offers a candid message: “We don’t need more programs, we need more people who are willing to show up and care.”
With decades of experience in both construction and ministry, Jerry Lewis has quietly built a life of service rooted in action, not performance. As a licensed minister and devoted community member, Lewis believes that meaningful ministry isn’t measured by how many events a church hosts, but by the consistency and compassion of the people within it.
“We’ve programmed ourselves into a corner,” says Lewis. “We’ve got more tools than ever, apps, calendars, budgets, but far fewer people showing up at the door of someone hurting.”
Lewis’s perspective is grounded in a life of hands-on ministry. While working full time in the trades, he has also served in local church leadership and outreach efforts across Texas. Over the years, he’s mentored men in crisis, served families facing tragedy, and walked alongside individuals living with disabilities, often outside the spotlight.
One turning point for Lewis came through his relationship with a young girl named Brooklyn. Born with multiple disabilities, Brooklyn’s joy, resilience, and spirit had a profound impact on him.
“Meeting Brooklyn shifted something in me,” says Lewis. “She didn’t need a program. She needed people. Her life reminded me that the best kind of ministry doesn’t come with a microphone, it comes with presence.”
That emphasis on presence is something Lewis sees as lacking in many modern churches. While he acknowledges the good that can come from structure and planning, he believes many congregations are mistaken in thinking that activity is effectiveness.
“You can have a church calendar full of events and still miss the lonely widow next door,” Lewis says. “You can have a youth room with LED lights and still miss the kid struggling with addiction. The answer isn’t always something new. Sometimes it’s simply someone faithful.”
Lewis’s ministry has often involved showing up in the unplanned moments: helping repair a roof, holding the hand of a dying neighbor, sitting with someone whose marriage is falling apart. He believes those moments carry more weight than most formal programming ever could.
One example Lewis often shares is when he encountered a crash victim while driving his work truck. With no emergency training, he stopped, held the man’s hand, and stayed with him until help arrived. It wasn’t organized, but it was love in action.
“That moment reminded me of what ministry really is,” says Lewis. “It’s being there when people need you. No clipboard. No rehearsal. Just a heart that’s willing.”
As a builder and a minister, Lewis has a rare blend of blue-collar grit and pastoral care. He continues to work full time while supporting churches across the state, offering leadership, mentorship, and spiritual guidance wherever needed.
“You don’t have to be on staff to do ministry,” Lewis emphasizes. “You just have to care enough to stop what you’re doing and show up.”
For Lewis, showing up isn’t just about physical presence but emotional and spiritual availability. He urges churches to equip people not just with training, but with the courage to connect.
“People are desperate for someone to sit with them, pray with them, and walk with them through their mess,” he says. “That kind of care can’t be programmed. It has to be lived.”
Looking ahead, Lewis hopes to encourage a movement of relational ministry, where churches refocus on the simple but powerful call to love one another well.
“We’ve got enough systems. What we need are people, ordinary people, who say, ‘I’ll be there,’” Lewis concludes. “That’s where healing starts. That’s where the church shines.”

Muzzammil Riaz on Why We Need Honest Conversations About Burnout in Every Workplace
California, US, 13th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Burnout has become one of the most pressing challenges in modern workplaces, yet it remains one of the least discussed. Muzzammil Riaz, a registered nurse, wellness advocate, and the founder of Trust The Process, calls for a cultural shift where burnout is no longer hidden. He believes it must be openly addressed as a collective responsibility.
Riaz has seen burnout from multiple angles. He has worked on the frontlines of healthcare, heard the stories shared across his digital platform, and witnessed the personal struggles of those who quietly shoulder overwhelming pressure. His conclusion is simple and urgent: Workplaces must normalize conversations about burnout. Healthier employees and stronger teams depend on it.
“Too often, we treat burnout like a personal weakness,” says Riaz. “In reality, it is the predictable outcome of environments where constant output is valued more than human well-being. We cannot solve what we refuse to name. Talking about burnout is not optional anymore. It is necessary.”
The Hidden Cost of Silence
Riaz explains that silence around burnout carries a high cost. Employees who feel unable to voice their exhaustion often push themselves past their limits, leading to declining performance, disengagement, and turnover. In healthcare and other high-stakes fields, it can also compromise safety.
“Silence doesn’t protect anyone,” he notes. “It only delays the inevitable crash. When people bottle up their stress, it shows up in other ways. It appears through irritability, absenteeism, or in serious cases, breakdowns that could have been prevented with earlier support.”
According to Riaz, honest conversations are the first line of prevention. Workplaces that create space for dialogue allow employees to share their experiences without fear of judgment. This helps leaders identify patterns, address systemic causes, and open the door to solutions that go deeper than surface-level fixes.
Beyond Wellness Programs
Many organizations offer wellness perks like gym memberships or mindfulness apps. Riaz believes these efforts miss the point. Perks do not solve burnout. It is solved by culture.
“A company cannot hand someone a yoga subscription and expect burnout to disappear,” he explains. “What matters is whether employees feel safe admitting they are struggling. If the culture punishes vulnerability, no amount of perks will make a difference.”
Riaz emphasizes that leadership plays the most critical role. Managers must model openness, acknowledge their own challenges, and invite honest feedback. Teams thrive when leaders normalize rest. They do better when boundaries are encouraged and workloads are sustainable.
The Human Side of Productivity
At the heart of Riaz’s perspective is a simple truth. People are not machines. Productivity cannot come at the expense of mental and emotional health.
“Workplaces often talk about output, but rarely about the human beings behind that output,” he says. “We need to remember that the best results come from people who feel supported. They do not come from people who are running on empty.”
Muzzammil Riaz advocates for redefining success. He believes well-being should be a measurable outcome. Companies that foster resilience and trust will outperform those that ignore burnout. The link between employee health and organizational success is clear.
A Call for Change
Through Trust The Process, Riaz continues to spark dialogue on burnout, resilience, and healing. His mantra is simple. Healing is not linear. Progress comes through consistent care, not quick fixes. By speaking openly about his experiences, he shows that vulnerability can be a source of strength.
His call to action is clear: Workplaces must replace silence with honesty. Burnout is not a rare condition; it is a shared reality. Recognizing it openly is the first step toward meaningful change.
“Every workplace has two choices,” Riaz concludes. “They can keep ignoring burnout until it costs them their people. Or they can start the conversations that will create healthier, more resilient teams. The future of work depends on which choice we make.”
About Muzzammil Riaz
Muzzammil Riaz is a registered nurse and wellness advocate. He is also the founder of Trust The Process, a digital platform focused on mental health, healing, and authentic growth. He combines clinical insight with honest storytelling to support individuals navigating burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. His work emphasizes vulnerability, resilience, and the belief that healing is never linear.
