Last night at 1am my 16 year old called me from camp to give me a 40 minute play by play on how the Holy Spirit moved. Parenting is hard. But 1am phone calls from your 16 year old because she wants YOU to know how God is moving in her life makes the hard worth it.

“Let’s hug for 60 seconds” my 16 year old son said to me yesterday morning… “What? Is this a school assignment or something?” I joked back… “Nope. I just want to hug you…” he responded. And so we just hugged… Swayed a little… Felt each other breathing… No bro pats 😂 to make things feel more “manly” Didn’t say anything… Just hugged… For. 60. Seconds. I haven’t been hugged nor have I hugged someone else for that long in a long time. So thank you son… Thank you for giving me breath today that I didn’t know I would need. A long hug is more valuable than anything else you could give someone today. Happy Valentine’s Day twitter fam…

Hey buddy. Nobody is silencing the church in Nashville. Our church met today and had thousands show up for baptism in a nice socially distanced/masked way... Cause we are in a pandemic. I think it’s irresponsible to claim being silenced. Cause that’s not the cause in Nashville 🖤
