Class of 2026!
May has been a blur of planning, ceremonies, and parties, and I am beyond grateful for it and the two fellas we've been able to celebrate. Regardless of Sy's minimizing the event ("Mom, it's just high school—and literally the law to go.") or Caden's dual huge life events (career and wedding planning), I wanted to make sure their accomplishments found a permanent square in my chronicles.
We prayed we could help aim our kiddos to understand God's love, have agency, free will, confidence, personal responsibility, curiosity, and a teachable spirit; I am so proud of these two for the way they've walked in that direction individually. They are men who have worked hard, have worked smart, and thankfully had fun along the way. They love big, pause to consider the underdog, give generously, and desire for those around them to understand Jesus's love. I've watched them both stall and fly and ultimately find THEIR pace.
The internet sure isn't lacking the emotional post of a Momma bemoaning the agony of cutting apron strings or the pain of letting "her baby" go...and though I agree parenting is guttural, forever, and heart-quaking...I applaud and stand humbled at their growing and GOING!
My boys will expand and love and leave, and I never want to minimize the rightness or beauty of any of that growth because of what was or how simple and small I sometimes wish them to be.
Yes it's hard, but I hope them to now need me less and lean on the Spirit most. I want for their lives to GO, be missional and forgiving, free from fear, stagnation, or shame. I hope they draw nearer to others they have been gifted to love and lay hold of adventures they've dreamed of taking. I hope their lives are bigger and even more beautiful than mine and their days to be full of their own managing. I pray they have peace and confidence to know no space, pause, distance, or delay in their proximity to us changes our love, pride, or prayers. Their launching was always the grand point, and my letting go was always the slow process. Boys, I love you both so much and am so grateful I have gotten to have the best seat in the house to watch you both GROW and learn.

We know this week can get overwhelming, but even amidst the chaos, there’s an invitation on the table. An invitation to slow down and make room for more of Him!

PART ONE: Friends and Family of Se.cure!

We are so grateful for the support we have received from our friends and family.

Building anything with kingdom impact is GOOD HARD FUN UNPREDICTABLE work. THANK YOU for being in our corner and helping us take one step at a time.

We believe that Se.cure will be a warm and safe environment where emerging Indian leaders can explore life’s challenges,
engage in meaningful dialogue,
and develop a transformative perspective.

We want to provide this space for reflection and growth so leaders can navigate through their unique journeys with renewed clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Praising God for the fantastic weekend we’ve had!!! Board Retreat & Dedication Service 2025 ✅✅

Special shoutout to @amarpeterman & @interfaithamerica for investing into @sabinaannpappu & this project!

This weekend marked the official start of Se.cure—an offline retreat space created with the emerging Indian leader (ages 25-30) in mind.

All the research, workshops, and conversations have pointed to a similar theme- the emerging indian leader (EIL) currently does not feel equipped/ supported to step into everything God has for them.

And we are determined to change that.

If only 2% of the Indian population knows about the love of Jesus, then we ought to invest every dollar and every ounce of energy into equipping this generation.

Dear EIL, you stepping into every God-sized dream in your heart & mind has a salvific weight attached to it. So go on, keep stepping into everything.

We’ve been praying for you & are committed to building this space for you.

[Sign up for our newsletter to learn more EILs in the US, exciting updates about Se.cure and our next offline gathering in ATL 👀 LINK IN BIO.]
