Hey everyone! I wanted to share something special… tomorrow we’ll be dedicating Ava at church. It’s a meaningful moment for us where we’re committing to raise her in the Lord, just like Ephesians 6:4 encourages, to bring her up in the instruction and teaching of Him. As part of that, we’re really holding onto these truths: • “God, this child is Yours.” • “We will raise her to know You.” • “We need Your help to do it.” • “We invite our church to walk with us in this.” I know I am many many miles away each of you here in Tennessee… and maybe have we only spoken briefly… but I’d love for you all to be part of this with my family. As many of you are an inspiration for me. And all of Gods children represent His church. That’s you! Your prayers, support, and presence in my life means a lot as I step into fatherhood. Thank you!

When a Christian is willing to suffer rather than sin, it demonstrates a decisive break with the old life dominated by sin. Suffering for righteousness exposes a heart that has chosen obedience over sinful comfort.
