Fatherhood isn’t proven by grand gestures, but by daily faithfulness. We father as we have been fathered—and that means choosing to be fathered by God. Love must be expressed, not just intended. Let this be the day you show what you’ve held back.

Comfort without freedom slowly reshapes the soul. What begins as relief becomes routine, then dependence. The more we feed on ease, the more we forget the sky. We trade flight for full stomachs—and call the fence our home.

I don’t write about family to indulge—it’s the clearest window into what matters most. If my children walk in truth, if they grow in grace and give what they’ve received, then every effort is worth it. We’re not just raising kids. We’re raising saints.

After 3,100 miles in an RV, we found far more than scenery—we found communion, courage, and quiet revival. From horse-drawn buggies in Wisconsin to barefoot farmers chasing bears, the slow pace of real life invited our hearts to see again. Here’s some slow-crawling, soul-healing good news.

A week with the community in Wisconsin revealed more than beauty—it revealed life. Amid barns and valleys, we witnessed God’s covenant Body taking root. Through worship, testimony, and love, the dream lives on. The Spirit still moves—and what was dead lives again.

Each generation can pass something better to the next—but not by accident. Grace must be real. Surrender must be total. We’re not raising children by osmosis. We’re passing batons on a long road back to Zion—where humility, truth, and love grow stronger with each step.

Fifty-two years ago this week, a young man in his twenties and his five-months-pregnant wife opened the doors to a humble chapel on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Today, that small beginning has grown into a global fellowship—built on covenant, shaped by love, and still reaching the broken.

In a world that worships feelings, many believers unknowingly bow to emotional lies. But emotions are not sovereign—Jesus is. This post is a call to take every thought captive, confront deception with truth, and walk in obedience even when feelings rebel.

When fatherhood falls, culture collapses. We don’t need perfect dads—we need present ones, submitted to God, passing on patterns shaped by love, not control. The future won’t be saved by policy, but by fathers who remember how to be sons.
