  • Embracing the Little Moments: A Father’s Day Reflection

    This Father’s Day, I’m celebrating the unglamorous, beautiful chaos of being a dad. I won’t be scaling any mountains—just firing up the grill, gathering my family around, and soaking in their laughter and chatter. My hope is that in sharing this reflection, you’ll pause to cherish the tiny moments in your life too: mowing the yard, teaching a bedtime Bible story, or simply sitting on the couch during nap time.
