Good Friday and an overdue update… Have you ever wondered why we call it Good Friday? Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” (John 19:30) Due to length, you can read the rest of this post on Facebook: facebook.com/pastorbenjikel…

Absolutely loved worshiping at the old NewHope Sanford Campus, the now new Journey Church of Sanford! Nothing like connecting w/ old friends and family, and Pastor @joshuascottconklin! If you’re looking for a church in the Sandhills, give ‘em a try!

Two games in to Friday Night Lights and this young man, QB-1 Joshua Hunter Kelley, has led the Chapel Hill Tigers past Cedar Ridge 49-0 and just put a hurtin’ on Orange High School 42-7! So proud of the man he is becoming on and off the field! Love ya Josh! 👊🏾

New Beginnings! (Ecclesiastes 3) I don’t think I could ever get tired of a new academic semester, particularly on this campus! #Fall #Duke #LoveLearning

I recently realized November starts with the word, No! For me, that means NO dinner parties, NO shopping, NO date nights, NO unnecessary trips, and NO playing around! I pretty much live in the woods in Nov and once again it paid off! Happy Thanksgiving week everyone. 🙏🏾✌🏾🤍

So #grateful to worship today at NewHope Church! On this #Thanksgiving weekend, I thank God for Pastor Adam Bishop and Morgan and the beloved community of faith, NewHope Church! #ReachTeachRelease is alive and well! Praise God!

One of the best human beings I ever had the privilege to know. He poured into all five of my children thru his basketball camps. He was a great statesman, a man of faith & the University, and an incredible husband and dad. I w/ miss him dearly but trust to see him again. #RIP

In less than an hour we w/ celebrate another Christmas! Our world truly needs the meaning of this silent and sacred night. From our family to yours, I’m praying we all experience the peace, presence, grace, and truth of Jesus! Merry Christmas everyone! Peace and so much love…

Last night I watched the opening of a true story movie called #OrdinaryAngels and I simply can NOT encourage you enough to go see this movie! You will laugh, you will cry, and most importantly, you will be reminded of our #miracle working God! I guarantee it!You’re welcome! 😅💯

Spending Easter in Colorado Springs with @wesleyjkelley and Life Church. Thank God, IT IS FINISHED! The tomb is empty which means sins are forgiven and #hope is alive. Happy #Easter everyone!

Very few things better than spring #bass fishing! Thank you Lord! #LakeLife #GreatOutdoors

Happy Mother’s Day Mom! I thank God for you being my mother. As we were reflecting earlier today, it wasn’t always easy, but we always did the best we could and you have always wanted nothing but the best for your three boys. I love you very much, mom! 🤍
