Grateful for the chance to worship and learn alongside Egyptian believers last year.
This experience reminded me again how beautiful and powerful contextual, Christ-centered ministry can be. The church is thriving in places many never see.

Over 100 million viewers will see the @HeGetsUs Super Bowl ad saying:
‘There’s more to life than more. What if Jesus shows us how to find it?’
Would you join me in praying that their Christian friends boldly point them to the hope of Jesus?
New hike: Back Bay in Newport Beach.
More of a walk then a hike, but three miles today with some amazing views.
Have not quite hit 10,000 steps, but I'm flying today and (true fact) DFW is larger than the island of Manhattan.... so there's still time.
"For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate."

The Aspire Network got a picture of Donna and me and it greeted me when I got in the hotel room.
That's a pretty cool idea, friends.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

I drive by one of these billboards every day when I drive to work, so this made me chuckle.

I love the church.
After a weekend of preaching, I'm reminded how much I enjoyed being primarily a pastor.
About to preach to our @MarinersChurch young adult service— about 3000 young adults here each Thursday. Pray we make much of Jesus!

January at Talbot:
📚 Studying theology
☀️ In 74° sunshine
❄️ While the rest of the country is arguing with ice scrapers
Come suffer… beautifully.
We have a regular call to trust Christ at @MarinersChurch, and we did so last weekend.
Over 600 people publicly stood and proclaimed a new commitment to Christ last weekend.
The Lord is good!
The Talbot Seminary new student banquet. 70 degrees (and palm trees) in January.
If you can, come live in SoCal for your seminary years!
First time I've seen a story on saving someone from quicksand.
Based on my childhood TV shows, I expected quicksand to be a pretty common peril.
Come with me to @TalbotTheology chapel.
It's over 70 and sunny outside, but the worship is "strangely warmed" inside!
(Our Talbot chapels focus on worship and expository preaching.)
"If you read history, you will find that Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next... Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at Earth and you will get neither." -C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
