I’ve been reflecting a bit today on 15 years of ordained ministry. It’s been harder and better than I could have ever imagined.

I think often of the kind people who graciously walked alongside me as I got my footing as a pastor all those years ago at a local church in Farmington Hills, MI: Grace Chapel. I am so grateful that my ordination exams were held there and that I got to do them alongside a good friend, Jared Dilley.

As I think about the influence of Doug Walker and Robert Smart, who taught me to love the local church, I realize again that God is sovereign and good.

Today, I am left with an even greater sense of calling and hope.

Amy Rose, continues to be an amazing partner in life and ministry as, together, we chase down this call.

I pinch myself often that the folks in Ypsilanti and Flint are gracious enough to let me care for them.

We moved our daughter, Libby, in for her 3rd year at Michigan State yesterday. She’s on a new adventure this year, renting a house with four sorority sisters. Installing a ceiling fan, building a desk, and the liberal use of command strips turned her room into a space she’s really excited for!
