An honor to see these @imb
missionaries commissioned. This couple is dear to Deborah and me. I was this young lady’s pastor, and Deborah invested so much in her earlier in life. Now this couple now goes to the difficult places. They were unnamed today, but they are not unknown.

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!
Open your Bible wherever you like and you will find the Christmas story. Every page rings out, “ The King is coming, He has come, and He’s coming again.”
Both @richardblackaby and @reggiemcneal have been big influences in my life and ministry. Here’s a good chance to hear from them both. https://t.co/VUad81Mbg9
LEAVING MORE THAN A LEGACY
“We can become so enamored by the artifacts marking God’s past activity that we miss what He’s doing now, and what He is calling us to become.” Read my latest piece here: https://t.co/EMdc07B62Z
Such a privilege to be in this kingdom work with Richard Blackaby and his team. We’re trusting God to do immeasurably more than we can ask or think in Tennessee and beyond.

Honored to join @carmenlaberge@MyFaithRadio this morning to talk about the new @everyoneswilson Anti-Human Trafficking Toolkit coming out soon. Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888.
Christians in the Public Square:
Advocating for religious freedom has never been more important, yet most pastors and leaders aren’t even approaching the boundaries of our opportunity. Insulated by our niche Christian culture, we risk missing God’s kingdom work.
TEN WAYS WE LOSE THE WORLD
Jesus valued unity, but not just for unity’s sake. I hope this latest piece encourages you. If it does pass it along. https://t.co/d7OrCkP5VG
