I never planned to be a pastor. Engineer. Lawyer. Philosopher. Anything but being a pastor.

[Gary Havlin @garyhavlin]

But in the summer of 2009, the Lord placed a call on my life I tried to outrun—through doubt, counsel, conflict, and confirmation from the local church.

[Gary Havlin @garyhavlin]

“How can I find salvation?”
He told me about Jesus. I repented. I believed.
And the fear that gripped me all evening lifted.
That was the night everything changed.

I was in the tenth grade. She was new. I was instantly smitten.
When I asked her out, she said yes — with one condition:

[Gary Havlin @garyhavlin]

“If you know you are lost and need salvation, raise your hand.”
I couldn’t do it. I walked out pretending I was fine.
But that night, alone in my closet, I called the youth pastor.

GIVEAWAY! 📦🤝

Daniel Timmer's new NSBT volume just arrived. It's SO good. This is one of the best volumes I've read on a biblical-theological conception of "the nations."

Follow my account and repost for a chance to win.

These new hardbacks are so nice. B&H and Apollos upgraded the covers, paper, etc.

Next year, tellers should hand out stickers to messengers who vote on issues that say “I Voted,” so that those outraged someone didn’t vote can shame them. #SBC25 #imnotserious
