A Father’s Joy
Each week, my mind swirls with topics to write about—Scripture, missions, shifting legal tides, politics. Yet, again and again, I return to the same subject: my family. My children are my highest joy, my deepest focus. I want to see families thrive, marriages endure, and children grow in faith. Critics may misunderstand our way of life, but they do not offer something greater—only noise. The true gift is this: a life rooted in love, faith, and the flourishing of the next generation.

This is a time to build, to strengthen the Kingdom, to prepare the way.

A week ago today, I preached my grandfather’s funeral—memorializing a 97-year-old gentleman who bore witness to humility, integrity, and childlike faith in God. Then, last night, as we were still gathered at the supper table, my phone rang. My grandma—Grandpa’s lifelong partner and soulmate—had passed away, exactly one week to the day after his funeral.
