@Da_Bailey7 Hahaha man I was so hype after that! I might have to put that packers poncho back on from college 😂 now we gotta see how your eagles look tonight!
@bentleytrading7 hey man, it’s been a minute but I was trying to hit you up the other day and realized I don’t have your current number. DM your new number or text me if you still have mine! Also whoever has your old number is probably really confused by the text I sent 😂

Mixing the Gospel and politics always threatens to distort the Gospel.
I realize there’s so much polarization out there right now and I don’t like adding my voice to the increasing tensions of our day. But I have to say this: I really don’t like fall foods. And I hate everything pumpkin-spiced. That is all.
I had the great opportunity last week to visit the team of people we sent out of our church to plant City Lights Chula Vista, CA. So proud of these people for saying yes to God’s call and for being used by God! #ChurchPlanting#YouAreSent#BeALight
