Our son Baylor met @prattprattpratt while walking home from school. Chris stopped & jumped out of his vehicle to take time to see our son. Meant the world to him. So important to see people.

If I could do my 1st 20 yrs of ministry all over, I’d forgive faster, overlook more offense, be less critical, receive criticism better, & be ridiculously gracious. Praying next 20 will exemplify more grace.

Show me another “denomination” doing more for disaster relief than sbc. Or more for church planting. Or int’l missions. Crazy uncles, but worth staying invested!

I was a student pastor for 10 years, and I’ve now been a lead pastor for 5 years. This fall, April & I will have three kids in middle school. Looking back, I have a few thoughts on what I would have done differently as a student pastor.

We need less giant church conferences with faces in little circles, & more local friendship & community. We need less consultants, or & guys with a big "thing" outside the local church, and more younger pastors having breakfast with experienced guys...

Recipe for burnout in ministry: focus on the naysayers, the critics & how to please them, & those with one foot always out the door. Recipe for joy & longevity: press into those pressing into you, invest in the vested, & then get after it!

SBC friends: the Law Amendment is less about who may serve as a pastor (that’s already clear in our statement of beliefs). The L.A. is more about how we will function as cooperating churches. L.A. would fundamentally change our cooperation.
