    Go and Make Disciples - Get Creative

    What's up, friends? In this episode, I want to share some reflections from my recent mission trip to Alaska with Blast and Cast. It was a journey filled with service, personal revelations, and the beauty of God's creation.During our trip, we had the incredible opportunity to witness one of our team members accept Christ. He had believed he was living a Christian life but found a deeper conviction while serving. This reaffirmed the idea that our mission field can be anywhere—whether in distant lands or right at home.Our main project involved building a cabin that will serve as a base for future outreach events. This cabin will be a place where believers can invite non-believers to explore faith amid the beauty of nature. We also partnered with a local church to help with repairs, reinforcing the idea that service is about forming connections and offering assistance wherever it’s needed.Blast and Cast is dedicated to sharing the gospel in an outdoor setting—providing a relaxed atmosphere where people can connect with both nature and each other. They host various events like fishing trips and hunting excursions, aiming to create an environment where Christ’s love is evident. I encourage you to explore their mission further. They are continually expanding their outreach and looking for ways to engage more people in this meaningful work.https://www.blastandcast.org/

    You Are That Man!

    In today’s episode of The Dad Shift, I dive into the powerful story of David and Nathan from 2 Samuel. David’s actions led to devastating consequences, but it took Nathan’s boldness to help him see the truth. We often overlook our own mistakes while pointing fingers at others. It’s easy to judge, but we need to practice humility and introspection. Remember, we all need a Nathan in our lives—someone who can call us out when we're blind to our own sins. Let’s strive to be better and hold each other accountable. The journey of repentance starts with recognizing our faults and seeking guidance.
