How to pray for me…
One of the things I value most from the people at Freedom Church is the prayer they offer on my behalf! Many of you have asked recently how you could most effectively pray for me. I am GRATEFUL – not to mention that I need it BADLY. Here are some specific ways that you can pray.
#1 – Me and Jesus
Having a great team around me and working as hard as humanly possible are irrelevant if I am not hearing from God and becoming more like Jesus every single day. Pray that I hear from God and consistently live in a state of confession and repentance so that I can become more like Jesus every day.
#2 – Me, Devin, Lexi, London, and Bryce.
I want to be a Godly husband and dad. It’s a lot easier to type than it is to live. Pray that I model the character of Jesus to my incredible family and that nothing ever comes between Devin and I – including the kids. We want our kids to grow up loving God AND the church. It is possible! God first. Devin second. The kids third. The church fourth. Pray I never forget that and prioritize accordingly.
#3 – Me and Leadership
God is doing so much so quickly in the context of Freedom Church. I have SO much to learn if I desire to be the leader that God has called me to be. Pray for Wisdom and the Audacity to Act! (By the way – I am praying some HUGE prayers right now that will not happen apart from the supernatural work of God on our behalf). Pray with me!
#4 – Me and Integrity
Nothing can sabotage the work of God in my life and the life of our church quicker than a lack of integrity. I know that I am not above making some incredibly stupid decisions that could wreck my life. Pray that I stay close to Jesus and guard my integrity with vicious tenacity by consistently allowing the Bible to point out things in my life that need work.
Thank you and I am honored that you would pray on my behalf!
