What a great morning at BG First!

We are honored to have Dr. Carla & Chuck Sunberg with us for this year’s District Assembly. Dr. Sunberg shared a powerful message from Mark 4, reminding us that while God’s kingdom often has small beginnings, it produces great results.

It’s also exciting to see how God is working through Pastor Micah & Angela Moreno as they faithfully serve at BG First. We look forward to all God has in store for this church family! #KYNaz #RenewEquipConnect #RECkentucky #Nazarene

As I’ve prepared for District Assembly this year, I’ve been challenged to live out the theme: “One Thing” (Luke 10:42).

In the story of Mary and Martha, Martha wasn’t distracted by sinful things. She was distracted by good things—practical things, necessary things, reasonable things. What she failed to recognize was that even good things can become dangerous when they pull us away from the presence of Jesus.

This year, rather than being consumed by the busyness of preparation, I’ve tried to be intentional about making time with Jesus the priority as we prepare to celebrate another year in the life of the church.

I’m looking forward to gathering with the KYNaz family on Sunday evening. Come expecting. #KYNaz #OneThing #Nazarene #DistrictAssembly

What a special morning at our Delmer Church! The church surprised Pastor Peter & Tiffany Doyle with a 5-year anniversary celebration, honoring their faithful leadership and ministry. We are so grateful for this pastor, his family, and the wonderful people of this church. What a blessing to be part of the celebration! #KYNaz #RenewEquipConnect #RECkentucky #Nazarene

The truth of the Gospel has a way of reaching the deepest, darkest parts of the human heart. More than ever, people are searching for hope, purpose, and truth—and that truth is only found in Jesus. #PreachTheGospel #TruthMatters

Officially installed Pastor Micah & Halisha Sturm as the pastoral family at Lancaster Church of the Nazarene today. I’m incredibly grateful for the way the Lord brought Pastor Micah and this congregation together. I love these people deeply and am believing God for great days ahead! #KYNaz #RenewEquipConnect #RECkentucky #Nazarene

What a privilege to be invited back to preach at Amplify Church this weekend—a place that means so much to us, having pastored here from 2005 to 2013. It’s incredible to see all that God is doing. With four services each weekend and around 1,500 people attending, the impact for Jesus is powerful! So grateful for Pastor Phillip & Crystal Modlin—God is clearly moving through their leadership. #AmplifyChurch

Outstanding weekend of revival for the Asbury Missional Area! Special thanks to Pastor Rich & Allison May and Covenant Church of the Nazarene in Danville for hosting, and to those who helped lead worship in each service. The renewing presence of the Holy Spirit met with us in a special way. #KYNaz #RenewEquipConnect #RECkentucky #Nazarene

Grateful for the opportunity to preach this morning at Calvary Church of the Nazarene in Lexington. Appreciate Pastor Carmen & Kyle Russell, and this faithful congregation.

Honored to have spent this week preaching revival services at Bethel Church of the Nazarene in Nampa, ID. Wrapped up this morning with a seminar on “Presence-Centered Leadership.” We love Pastor Derek & Jessica Elkins, and the great people at Bethel. And traveling is always better when Heather gets to come along! 😊 #revival #nazarene

He Is Risen Indeed! Wonderful Easter celebration at Louisville First this morning. Pastor Harry, the praise team, and the kids all did a great job. Grateful to worship with my family this Resurrection Sunday! #HeIsRisen #Easter2026

Love this guy! Always enjoy a thoughtful conversation with Pastor Brent Piatt. He’s doing a great job at Grace Community Naz in Louisville. #kynaz #renewequipconnect #RECkentucky #nazarene

From 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., we spent the entire day on a professional photo shoot with Kacey. Vertex, the pharmaceutical company that provided the stem cell transplant which cured her of beta thalassemia, is featuring Kacey (with her mom and dad) in an upcoming medical magazine.

It was a full-scale production, complete with hair, makeup, wardrobe—the whole nine yards. I’ll never look at an ad the same way again now that I’ve seen how much effort goes into capturing the perfect shot.

So incredibly proud of you, Kacey!

Palm Sunday at Louisville First! Great to worship with my family today. #KYNaz #PalmSunday #Nazarene
