July is coming…

Ivy must have been talking to our YFC national board.

As my family and I prepare to enjoy their wise gift of time away in July, the moment seems right to honor it with a social media pause.

Have an amazing summer!

@ColoradoRapids Are our tickets valid for another night, since they didn’t play?

Today I’m grateful for Dr. King’s legacy, but also for dear friends who continue to teach me what it means to live out Micah 6:8–“to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God…”

Last year I had the privilege of joining Nygel Simms and Josh Raines on Star 88.3 FM (Fort Wayne) as we reflected on the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

A brief portion of our conversation is linked here: https://t.co/Gfv2AnpR64

[Jake Bland @jacobdbland]

The conversation both on and off the air reminded me that we still have so much work to do—and growth to pursue—as we seek to live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that brings reconciliation and unity.

One of the reasons why I love YFC’s Parent Life ministry is because we have the opportunity to impact three generations at once. Often these relationships involve the teen parents themselves, along with their parents, and their child.

Young people are facing great challenges across the United States. YFC is ready to respond... Please consider making a year-end contribution and be part of the positive impact on young people. Thank you for your consideration! https://t.co/bA9U8ZRtox #youthmentalhealth

So grateful for your consideration. Together we can bring hope in the life of a kid who desperately needs it.

Haven’t been on social media much this year (and @alisonbland is still on a refreshing, complete break), but interrupting the silence to celebrate 13 years of marriage to this amazing woman! Thank you for showing me what next level love looks like. You inspire me!

@ILTollway Please help me understand… All manned booths are closed, and the “invoice fee” is higher than the toll itself? Also, the “invoice fee” is actually multiplied per toll (not per invoice) even if conveniently sent on one invoice?
