How do we reach a city like New York?

It’s big. It’s complicated. It’s hard. The opportunities are endless, but so are the challenges.

We may not have all the answers, but one thing we know for sure is that we can’t do it alone.

How do we reach the greatest city in the world? We do it together.

We’re building something bigger than any one of us, and by God’s grace, we’re just getting started.

Sunday starts on Saturday 🙌

“PRE-DECISION” is one of the greatest habits you can develop for spiritual growth and personal success.

Set boundaries before temptation comes.
Make commitments before other options are presented.
Decide today who you want to be tomorrow.

The decisions you make in advance will determine the direction of your life.

And here’s something worth celebrating: When you decide on Saturday that you’re going to worship on Sunday, you’ve already taken a step of faith.

Choices lead. Feelings follow.

So make the decision today. Your future self will thank you.

If you’re in NYC this weekend, I hope to see you at @trinitynewyork tomorrow!

Love you!

Thank you, Vision Builders.

Grace is the gap between where we are and where God is calling us to go. We don’t close that gap on our own strength. We’re graced for it.

This Sunday I’m preaching on it, and sharing a little of what Kristen and I talked about at Vision Builders Night.

Our annual Vision Builders offering is November 15. Start praying. Start preparing. Ask God what He’s calling you to give.

“My grace is all you need.”

When you look back at the story of your life, you’ll see mountaintops and valleys. The good and the bad. But the lens through which you see your story matters.

12 years ago, Kristen and I moved to New York City to pastor a church. Honestly, it all felt impossible.

New York felt impossible.
Planting felt impossible.
Building the church felt impossible.

Then we lost our building in a flood. That felt impossible.

Then the church began to explode with growth. Then the pandemic hit, and suddenly everything felt insurmountable.

But through it all, the Lord kept telling us to keep building, keep loving people, and keep serving our city.

And looking back, I realize something. We didn’t just persevere through the hard seasons. We genuinely loved the journey.

Not because it was easy, but because we were graced for it. Every step of the way.

Here’s what I’ve learned: God will always give you everything you need to do everything He’s called you to do.

The resources. The energy. The relationships. The creativity. The anointing.

His grace is sufficient.

You’re graced for it.

FIVE rainy Sundays in a row, NYC?! 😂☔️ COME ON!

One thing church planting has taught me is that you can’t let the weather determine your attitude.

Of course, rainy Sundays impact attendance. But we can’t allow our circumstances to determine how we show up.

Circumstances change. Our commitment stays consistent.

To every church planter who keeps showing up, every Team member who keeps serving, and every church family that keeps giving, praying, and building, THANK YOU!

Some Sundays are easier than others. But we’re not building for one Sunday. We’re building for generations.

Rain or shine, we’re GRACED FOR IT! 💪

Share with someone who’s serving and building the local church.

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born, I set you apart.” ❤️ Jeremiah 1:5

When people ask me how I make sense of everything… my answer is this: Jesus.

Yes, I have an American father. I have a biological Georgian father. But above all, I yield to THE Father. And praise God that He has been taking care of all of us all along. 🥹⬇️

Growing up, I always knew I was incredibly blessed by the unconditional love of @mommahnance and @freemanrne.

My parents made me feel valued, special, adored, significant, and secure.. for my ENTIRE LIFE!

They were always working things out for my good. Being their daughter became such a hugeeee part of my identity, and I remember wishing that EVERYONE could experience that kind of love from their parents.

And of course there was another layer to it for me: I was adopted.

They chose me 💅😂😭❤️

For so long, that made me feel particularly lucky and set apart!!

But as I’ve gotten to know God more deeply, I’ve realized something that has completely blown my mind…

The love I grew up experiencing was only a glimpse of the love available to every single one of us 😭 through Jesus!!!

He chose you too.

Before you were born, He knew you. He wanted you. He set you apart. And through Christ, we’re ALL invited to be adopted into the family of God!!!

The way my parents loved me made it easier for me to understand the love of my Heavenly Father. But getting plugged in at @trinitynewyork , finding Christian community, reading His Word daily, being in church, and genuinely developing a hunger to know God for myself has transformed my understanding of who He is.

And His love has truly blown my mind.. 😭

So when people ask how I reconcile all the different pieces of my story: adoption, America, Georgia, biological family, adoptive family, identity, belonging, the language barrier even 😂🤣, my answer is actually very simple:

Jesus.

He has been in every part of the story.. and if you’ve ever wondered whether there might be more for you too… there is.

If you’re interested in joining me at church any Sunday, you know where to find me.

There’s more than one way to get lost, and there’s more than one way back home.

That’s what I love about Luke 15. Jesus keeps telling stories about lost things because He wants you to know this: no matter how you got lost, there’s a way back to the Father.

Come back home.

And if you’re looking for a church in New York City, we’d love to welcome you at @trinitynewyork this weekend.

There’s more than one way to get lost.

But in every story, God’s heart is the same: He comes after the one. You’re the one.

If you’ve felt far from God, been running, or you’re just looking for answers, I’d love to invite you to join us at @trinitynewyork this weekend. You belong.

Teach da yout dem! My church @trinitynewyork just launched its youth ministry and when I tell you, it just encourages me to see so many kids on fire or at the very least, curious about the God we serve! This was such a fun event and I cannot wait til the next one!

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭6‬
