Strong men of faith build strong families, strong churches, and strong communities.

Men’s ministry isn’t about ego or status—it’s about accountability, brotherhood, discipleship, and courage to lead with Christ at the center. When men pray together, grow together, and serve together, the whole church is strengthened.

Invest in the men. Disciple the fathers. Encourage the brothers. The impact will echo for generations. ✝️💪

It was a blast to serve my home church, , this weekend in our men’s conference.

Here’s my next two weeks of ministry. I’m hopping all over the country in the next 14 days.

Will I be near you? I’d love to see you if I’m close by!

On Sunday, I preached from Ruth 3 at on “The God Who Works in the Ordinary.”

It is easy to assume that faith only involves remarkable people in miraculous circumstances. But what we see both in Scripture and in life is that God works in the ordinary regularly. Uses normal people, in day-to-day life to show us more of Himself to use us for His mission to redeem everyday people.

Faith trusts God in both the boring and extraordinary parts of our life. That is a faith that God will bless to change both our life and the world for His glory.

I asked and you answered. These are just some of the passages you fellow pastors are currently leaning on. Encouragement for pastors, curated by pastors. Save and share this post so others can be strengthened and refer back to it this week as you prepare to share God’s word.

Loved having the opportunity to speak for the fundraising banquet for the Pregnancy Service Center in Salina, Kansas last night! The PSC is a nonprofit that is doing a great job of serving mom’s, families and babies all throughout Central Kansas.

If you’re not involved in your local pregnancy center, I would challenge you to find a way to get plugged in to serve some of the most amazing people in opportunities that the church can step into.

Charting a new course!

If the church does not invest in the youth of today, it will find itself poor in leadership and disciples in the generation to come.

I am thankful for churches like , who I partnered with this weekend, that understand the vision of investing in students for the glory of God.

Youth ministry is the picture of both the church now and the church to come. More than 90% of Christians confess Jesus is Lord before the age of 25. Youth ministry is an amazing harvest field and I pray the church will continue to provide both the means and the workers for the harvest to come

I had an amazing weekend with speaking at their men’s conference. On Friday and Saturday over 300 men gathered to worship and hear from the Word of God.

Through multiple men’s events in just this year alone, I’ve seen a clear move of the Holy Spirit in the lives of men in the local church. There’s a revival beginning to build in our men, so let’s continue to press in to that. Let’s keep praying for the men in our lives and continue to get the gospel to the most important relationships that surround us.

I loved speaking at the Life Choices pregnancy center fundraising banquet last night. They’re doing a good work in defending and protecting life in the northern part of North Carolina.

I also love that their executive director, Susan, is also an amputee . Such a cool night showing that disability does not limit sanctity and purpose.

17 sermons in seven days - that’s what the last week of ministry has been for me. That’s the most I’ve ever preached in one week in 25 years of ministry.

To say I’m exhausted on this Monday would be an understatement. I wish I could say that I feel strong and full of energy today, but that’s not where I’m at. I feel wrung out.

One thing I can say - God got me to the finish line. He’s the one who called me to this and He was going to be the only One who was going to carry me through.

Excited to spend the next few days with and the kids before I head out again on Friday.

See you in Dallas!
