Year of the Bible

In my mid-30s, I experienced depression for the first time in my life. Being a very positive person who is known for my laugh and optimistic demeanor, it was such a stark contrast from my usual state of mind.

No matter how things may look now, when we reflect on our lives, we will see how God’s hand worked through it all.

Whatever is currently happening in your life, God longs for you to share it with Him. 

One thing I have learned through my years as a husband, father and a pastor in various ministry leadership roles is that a leader does not mean you play a more important role than anyone else; a leader is one who serves alongside others in order to meet a united goal.

This verse is my source of comfort and peace, because it shows both the problem and solution to everyday stress.

I have had my share of trials over the years, as all Christians experience. Lessons learned have matured my faith and trust and have taught me to seek the Lord’s will rather than my own.
