Eight years between these two pictures:
Same kid. Same love for the game. Same determination.
But the young man on the right: He’s the result of early mornings, late nights, tough losses, big wins, and a whole lot of heart.
He’s achieved every single goal he set; not because anything was handed to him, but because he worked for it. Stayed focused. Stayed coachable. Stayed humble.
I’m unbelievably proud of who he’s becoming on and off the court.
In a culture chasing recognition, we cant let our platform grow faster than our foundation. Don’t Let Your
- platform outpace your integrity
- influence outgrow your faithfulness
- success overshadow your humility
- gifts outweigh your obedience.
- abilities outrun your character
When pastors become influencers, the flock becomes the audience.
When image matters more than integrity, the sheep are left unfed.
And when arrogance feeds on attention, the cross gets pushed out of view.
