Luke Uebelher is a follower of Jesus Christ, having dedicated his life to the Lord while serving in the U.S. Marines during his tour of duty in the Persian Gulf War, Desert Storm. Following his service in the Marine Corps, Luke worked in various professions to include public safety, construction and sales before establishing his own business in the trucking industry as an independent contractor.
In 2012, Luke responded to God’s Call and Kingdom Purposes to begin serving the needs of sex-trafficking and domestic violence survivors by working with ministries led by trafficking and abuse survivors. His work in the Lord expanded to serving the needs of homeless Military Veterans in 2015 through 2017, working in partnership with a ministry in Southern California.
In 2018, Luke’s work for God’s Kingdom expanded internationally when he married his Wife, Maggie, and he travels between the United States and the Philippines for business and ministry. He and Maggie have devoted themselves to supporting and serving the needs of Pastors and Ministry Leaders in the Philippines, in addition to the ministries that Luke serves and supports in the United States.
In 2023, Luke and his book, “The Faithful, The Fearful & The Foolish: Living for God in Troubled Times” were featured and interviewed at the Hong Kong Book Conference with Readers Magnet.” Following this, Luke’s work for God’s Kingdom expanded into Hong Kong and Macau, China, serving in partnership with Philippine Pastors, to serve the needs of Filipinos who live and work in Hong Kong and Macau, China, teaching and empowering them in financial stewardship, managing a long distance marriage, discipleship and setting boundaries to protect themselves from abuse at the hands of their foreign employers. All the work that Luke and Maggie do for God’s Kingdom is funded by his business in the trucking industry.
Can you tell us a little about your book, The Faithful, The Fearful & The Foolish: Living for God in Troubled Times?
“The Faithful, the Fearful & The Foolish: Living for God in Troubled Times” was published in December 2022 (NCC Publishing, Inc), and is a result of a message of the Holy Spirit to God’s people to overcome the fear of man, learn to be effective in the Business of God, and prepare ourselves to Rule and Reign with Christ. The Holy Spirit began ministering to Luke about this message in 2019, with the conclusion of the writing of the book in the late summer of 2022, and submitting it for publication.
The focus of the message of the book is taken from the Parable of the Talents in Luke 19:12–27, with Scripture from both the Old and New Testaments to guide and empower each reader to overcome the fear of man, learn to effectively do the Business of God, and prepare themselves to Rule and Reign with Christ in order to advance God’s Kingdom in a world that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ, and empower others to do the same. The message of the book does not “tickle people’s ears,” but rather teaches and guides each reader to cultivate a genuine hunger and thirst for Righteousness, grow in their Faith and submission to the Authority of God’s Word, and to esteem the Kingdom of God over our culture of selfishness that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ.
Who will benefit from the book? And, how is this book different from other books?
Everyone who has an interest in overcoming fear, particularly the fear of man, to pursue God’s Kingdom Purposes for their lives will find this book to be very helpful. Additionally, the message of the book will stir readers to a hunger and thirst for Righteousness, arise out of complacency and cowardice, and grow in the confidence of Christ. A significant aspect of the message of the book is in guiding readers to learn the importance of bringing our lives into agreement and submission to God’s Word by Faith through Jesus Christ, so that we may walk in the favor and authority of God, to restrain and overcome the works of darkness, and live a life that Honors and Glorifies God, and empowers others to do the same. Each chapter concludes with questions that call each reader to self reflection, personal growth, and a call to action to be Faithful and Fruitful in the Business of God. This book is an excellent resource to help readers grow in Discipleship, Christian Leadership, Spiritual Transformation, and developing mental and emotional stability in these troubled times.
What's next for you?
While Luke did not previously see himself as an author, nor did he aspire to be an author, he did recognize the call of God to write the book, “The Faithful, The Fearful & The Foolish: Living for God in Troubled Times,” and the importance of living and teaching the message of the book to empower and disciple others to become effective in the Business of God. Luke understands this is a Calling from God, not a career, and it requires that he continually grows in his own effectiveness for God’s Kingdom so he may inspire, empower, and lead others in Godliness. It is Luke’s desire to see God Glorified in the lives of others, as he helps them abound in their Faith. Luke is a small business owner, who’s passion is to advance God’s Kingdom by empowering others to grow in the Greatness of God, as he works toward his goal of being with his wife, Maggie, full-time and pursuing God’s Kingdom Purposes together.
