Today marks one year since my dad passed unexpectedly on Easter. It's been a whirlwind this year. The tension of grieving great loss but also experiencing great life. There has been many weekends and speaking opportunities that I flat out just didn't want to do. I've had to preach through the feeling of not wanting to preach more this year than any other year. Preaching in weakness. Preaching vulnerable. Preaching from an honest place. His grace is sufficient. There was something Nathan Finochio posted months ago that has really resonated with me. I wrote it down. Found myself telling myself this when my mind was going astray. Shared this with friends who were walking through their own loss. Here it is... "Grace means nothing you had was earned in the first place. Which means nothing taken from you is evidence of God's betrayal!" 😭🙏🏽 Love you all!

We have nearly 160 young preachers in the community in less than a week! Do you me a favor and hit the Map tab and look at where everyone is from. It’s hard to not think of the ripple of impact this community can have in the world! Imagine a young preachers on every continent? (Antarctica? lol) I want to welcome everyone to Dear Young Preacher the community. The vision is simple: THE PREACHERS OF TOMORROW, PREPARING TODAY!

Welcome to this new community. I was overwhelmed by the response of the online call I did last week. Nearly 200 young preachers joined the call. I recognize that there is a great need for a space for preachers of the Gospel to find inspiration, support and encouragement. There's a lot of content for criticizing preachers... we need a space to collaborate & grow as preachers. I'm creating the community I wished I had! Shout out to you... you are a part of the first 100 to join! Let's grow together!
