The Crisis of Fatherhood & Healing the Wounds
Can we talk about fatherhood for a minute? When I think of the word “father”, I think of the unsung heroes in our midst.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The men who do the good, even when it’s inconvenient or at great personal sacrifice. I think of men who discipline out of love, but are also quick to recognize the good in others and to offer encouragement. When I think of “father”, I think of men who use their strength to love and protect — never to harm.

Embracing Your Abundant Life
“I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly” John 10:10 You know, contrary to popular opinion, Jesus didn’t come to earth to ruin all of our fun. Nope. He didn’t come to earth to simply deliver a bunch of “no’s” so that we would miss out on the amazing life we could otherwise have lived if we didn’t listen to Him. In fact, what I have discovered in my own life is that every single “no” He asks of us is a “yes” to something greater. It really is. After all, He came so that we might have an abundant life. Have you ever taken the time…
