Before he was executed, he washed the feet of the man who would betray him. As he was being arrested, he healed the wound of one of his captors. As he hung on the cross, he asked God to forgive his killers. This is what it looks like to love your enemies.

#TBT to fall 2019 when 5 cohorts were recruited for the DVULI class of 2020, but due to the pandemic pause, they became the class of 2021. A long 28-months later (usually 15 months), these youth workers will celebrate graduation this spring. Show them some DVULI-alumni-love!

Remember: your gift is your gift. Grow it, expand it, and celebrate it. Don’t compare though. Comparison is a thief of creativity.

Lent invites us to feel our pain. Grieve our hurt. And face our failures. Here are 3 practices parents of teenagers can try this Lenten season. bit.ly/36Eestn

I was reading in the gospels. "The Pharisees came and began to argue with him," Mark writes, "asking him for a sign." Jesus's responded by sighing deeply and then left. It is as if he is saying: you can't invest in some who just want to argue rather than love.

To my brother @IamJeffWallace, thanks for bringing the LIFT TOUR to the West Coast! We had an excellent lineup and solid content that inspired the next generation to say, "Not on our watch." Now is the time to plant a gospel seed in every GEN Z in CA! #CSBCYTH #LiftTour22
Never be ashamed, embarrassed or too prideful to admit that you don’t know something. There’s no shame it not knowing, the shame comes when you can’t admit it, refuse to admit it or you try to pretend that you do. #Ap2w

Why does GEN Z need camp? Here's my top-10 reasons: ✅ Focused worship. ✅ Intentional Bible studies. ✅ Discover God's calling. ✅ Decisions for salvation. ✅ Decisions for baptism. ✅ Lifelong memories. ✅ New friendships. ✅ Great outdoors. ✅ Inclusion. ✅ Fun. #JesusWins – at Running Springs, CA

Once upon a time I thought I was done with Christianity. But the reality was I was just done with the institutional, corporatized, gentrified, politicized, culturally exclusive version of it.
