Fathers of daughters: You are the first man she loves. You will set the bar for what she expects from a man. You will define what masculine strength is about (provision and protection), and you are teaching her what God’s unconditional love feels like. You are actively resolving a thousand problems she never has to have because she had a good dad. You are important, and I am cheering you on.

NEW POD! @AlabamaMBB coach @nate_oats joined us for his first long-form conversation on all that took place over the past few weeks. He's a leader I admire. Hope you enjoy the pod.
"God will help you despite your own imperfections..."
On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Coach Nate Oats about how he has dealt with a now-former player’s arrest and trusting in God to guide him through prayer!

Nearly everything awesome takes longer than you think.
Get started and don't worry about the clock.

Sabbath is not just rest from making things.
It’s rest from the need to make something of ourselves.

The most underrated tool of persuasion is curiosity.
A natural response to disagreement is to attack what people think. A more inviting alternative is to be genuinely fascinated by how they think.
Curiosity is contagious. When advocacy closes minds, inquiry can open them.

Absolutley struck to the heart today reading the list of the Apostles Jesus chose. We know almost nothing about most of them. Its possible to be chosen by Jesus, build redemtpive history, and be unknown to the world. Recognition in heaven breaks the need for recognition on earth.

This verse has been such a simple but clear reference point trying to pastor & lead through the pandemic.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Rom12 : 12
Hope, patience, faithfulness.
Thats enough for today.
Thats enough for a hard season of ministry.

Instead of dismissing “all of Evangelicalism” I often ask myself, would the Church be better if everyone followed Jesus like I do?
This leads me to humility and repentance & getting the log out of my own eye.
Let your godly; humbly, passionate life be it’s own critique.

The shepherd counts all the sheep not to know how many are in the church, but to know who’s missing.

If all we do is point out the obvious flaws of the church; don’t be surprised when no one wants to be a part of it.
If all we do is ignore the obvious flaws of the church, don’t be surprised if no one wants to be a part of it.
Need to elevate Jesus in both cases.

People usually drift away from their community of faith before they drift away from faith.

2 years ago @nate_oats was leading Buffalo. Now he's leading @AlabamaMBB
"My faith keeps me grounded... Winning and losing games isn’t the ultimate in God’s eyes; knowing and loving God and being loved by a gracious God is ultimate."
