Focused Discipleship
#Personal — Let’s fight the sins we’ve learned to tolerate, relying on the Spirit’s power and the better promises of God.
#Marriage — Our marriages grow through consistent, intentional investment, including time, affection, prayer, and pursuit, even when everything seems fine.
#Parenting — Busy dads can make room for what matters through simpler commitments, weekly planning, and wiser use of spare moments.
#Church — I’m encouraged by Lifeway’s findings on sermon length: most churchgoers are content, and some would welcome longer messages.
#Work — Working at a slower, more deliberate pace can help us pursue excellence, enjoy our labor, and reflect God’s character.
#Pastor — Fellow pastors, we can fight Sunday discouragement through prayer, gratitude, and attention to God’s work among our people.
#AI — As AI offers spiritual guidance, we need pastors who know us, share our burdens, and answer to God.
#Curiosity — Trace the Westminster Confession’s surprising beginnings and see God’s providence at work through upheaval, reform, and devotion to Scripture.
