So proud of Miles and his friends for working hard this month to get ready for solo and ensemble contest! Way to go guys!

Spring break with the fam! Enjoying Chicago!

A very busy, but amazing day. Worship this morning, full of life and joy and hope. Then an incredible group of guys tonight at Basecamp sharing our stories and our prayers (and fantastic food!).

Heartbreaking.

We are traumatizing our children. ❤️‍🩹

So this is happening on Sunday. It's finally time! Closing out our sermon series on Sermon on the Mount? Fantastic music? Banjo?! Can't wait for Sunday!

When your 7th grader is destroying you in chess...

Where did you find joy today? #joy #joyisresistance #thelilliesofthefield #aBetterStory

What a joy and blessing to play with our HS youth today (and you adults, too ☺️) for worship! Truly a holy and Spirit-filled experience to worship and sing and play with these amazing folks!

For the abused woman with blistered feet from thousands of miles, who sleeps tonight in the cold, hungry alone, God be with her.
For those of us too comfortable to notice the suffering of our neighbors, God open our eyes and heal our hearts.

For teenagers torn from their parents' arms, terrified of what tomorrow brings with no idea if they will see their parents again, God cover them.

For mothers who hold their children tonight, afraid that tomorrow they will be taken away, God protect them.
For fathers separated from their sons tonight, aching to be reunited, God hold them.

Week 2 of our sermon series and Pastor @variniaespinosa61.bsky.social has some good words for us on Matthew 5:13,

"It's about our identity. Notice Jesus says you are salt, not that you have salt."

How are we called to add good flavor to the world?

Fantastic week in Greece & Turkey! So grateful for this experience with wonderful people!
