Meeting people where they are and taking them where Jesus wants them to go

I just started reading this book (which is really more just a collection of thoughts), and it has been sparking some good thoughts in me.

It naturally makes you re-examine your leadership and the people you are influencing, and it gives me a good lens to understand where I am strong and where I am weak. I’ll be posting on some of these thoughts soon. As a corollary, though, it has made me think through this blog and how I am using it versus the impact it is making.

I’m curious: why do you read this blog?

Although I was raised in the church and had a knowledge of God, I didn’t embrace Jesus until I heard gospel preached and lived out by some Young Life leaders. God has proven faithful and good to me since that day, even in great suffering and loss. I have learned to treasure Romans 8:28 as a wellspring of hope and truth.

God has blessed me with an amazing wife (Olivia), three sons (Micah, Hudson and Owen) and a daughter (Emmaline). Growing up in the northwest, the thought never crossed my mind that I would have four children who are native Texans. Despite landing in the south, I still watch Notre Dame games with my children every Saturday in hopes they will land at my alma mater.
