The thing about loving people is that our love, no matter how deep or genuine it may be, it can't save people.
We can't take away their pain and bear it for them. We have to let them go through it, and our only role is to at least make them feel they're not alone.
Applauding the power of prayer and the ability of doctors are not mutually exclusive actions.
We are the hands and feet that God uses, and these doctors have allowed themselves to be used to save life.
I will continue to encourage prayer & applaud doctors. 🙏🏾❤️

For perspective:
Social media often conceives of the average pastor as having LeBron James levels of celebrity & privilege,
but in reality, the average pastor is more like an under-resourced public school basketball coach who deeply invests in their kids and also teaches math.
Mary is the new Eve, and in her trust, offers a new way of being.
Eve says, let me have it.
Mary says, let it be.
Eve came from Adam,
But the new Adam, came from the new Eve.

This season of ministry has had me clinging to the basics of the gospel, & I want to speak these over you tonight:
You are loved.
You are accepted.
You are seen.
You are approved.
God is not disappointed in you.
Because your are his kid,
And he is just proud to be your Father.
God can handle all of the things we know we can’t. He is our possible in the midst of what feels so impossible. He is our hope in the midst of all that looks hopeless.
“Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” Ps. 25:5
