The gospel. Perfect, complete, and satisfying for all people at all times. 🤍

Escaped for a quick drink tonight to celebrate 18 years of marriage! We are not the same people we were when we got married and there’s a lot to be said for the blessing in that! 💖🙏🏻 #marriageissanctification #anniversary

“The enemy’s threat against you is very connected to your threat against him.” - @susielarsonauthor

Look down the line of your trauma, painful experiences, and deep places of insecurity. Can you connect how those things are meant to stop, slow or hinder you from the passion God has placed in you to love others and do the kingdom work that He’s prepared in advance for you? It’s quite fascinating to put it all together.

When we can step back and see the spiritual forces at play, it really helps us have a different posture as we “fight the good fight” that often leaves us weary and hopeless. Do not grow weary, my friends. Keep praying and seeking wise counsel in your “stuck” points in life. He is so faithful.

(Quote from podcast interview with @susielarsonauthor and @curtthompsonmd . I highly encourage you listen to it and I can’t wait to get my hands on Dr. Thompson’s new book, “The soul of desire”!!)

Whether you realize it or not, you have influence!

Whether you realize it or not, you have influence! Your influence matters and it’s not neutral. It’s bringing people together or apart. It’s bringing life or death. Influence happens in subtle, everyday ways. What would it look like if we caught the often “accidental” behaviors and lived with more intentionality? What would it look like if each of us lived with such character and conviction that what oozed out when you bumped into us was freedom fighting for others? 🤍

You hold a very special gift for the world that no one else has. Your perspective, background, and specific wiring all bring something that can’t be duplicated. That gift is God given and He’s given it to you to share with others. If you need a little mid-week encouragement, press into this work. How can your influence be used for good today? 🤍

Just a bunch of middle aged parents staying up way

Just a bunch of middle aged parents staying up way past our weekday bedtime for our kiddos! 🤍🖤

Two concepts I’m sticking to at this phase in life in regards to parenting:
1) Sow into our kids w/everything we’ve got (no matter the cost and discomfort to us) because the harvest will come! This is a huge reason you guys don’t see me on here as much. The accelerator pedal is down and they will fly the coop soon!

2) Be generous with our yes when we can. Our kids experience some hard “no’s”. Our kids are in the minority with what is allowed and not amongst their peers. We hate that but we see a bigger vision for them and are willing to be disliked for a bit 😂 Anyway- when we can say yes- we want to and will be generous with that. @nfrealmusic on a weeknight was the recent yes and we all had a blast!

PS Ask me later tonight when patience is thin (because we’re all tired) if it was worth it jk lol

The beautiful paradox we have with Jesus as our savior. We can be…
🤍Broken + Beautiful
🤍Lost + Found
🤍Weak + Strong
🤍Scared + Brave

I pray you all feel this today as you draw near to Him.🤍

There may be a number of reasons why you decided this is the year to take control of your health, but here you are. I know it’s frustrating as you go 1 step forward and 4 steps back but as somebody who has worked with people for years regarding health, mind, and soul change I just want to remind you that it’s not a linear journey. You will doubt yourself. You will want to quit. You will have bursts of motivation. You’ll be proud of yourself. You’ll cry.

I want to normalize this whole process and tell you not to give up. Every day that you decide to make the smallest choice for your health is a day in the right direction. Your setbacks are just information for you. When you come upon them-don’t overlook them. Pray over what they may be telling you about yourself deep within. Then get your game face on and get back at it. I am proud of you for wanting something better for yourself and family, then going after it! Cheering you on! 👊🏻🙏🏻🤍

“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.” - Oswald Chambers

Jesus does not tire from hearing from us. We are the ones who tire easily. Don’t stop praying! 🤍
