I think a father’s job, when it’s done best, is to get down on both knees, lean over his children’s lives, and whisper, ‘Where do you want to go?’ Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It’s not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us.

I appreciate the way Blaine Luetkemeyer takes time to listen to the issues impacting our ability to serve our communities and advocate for community banks and our customers.

I believe legislators are well intentioned, we need to ensure they are well informed. Our ability to do this is one of the reasons this is still the greatest country on the planet.

These men and women are working to protect the most vulnerable in our community. I’m excited to recognize their hard work this Sunday at KC Current game!

Had a great few days in Washington DC with ⁦Dan Robb⁩ and other bankers from Missouri sharing our thoughts on pending and proposed legislation that could impact our ability to serve our communities.

It will be our love, not our opinions which will be our greatest contribution to the world.

I was on a panel speaking to a number of young banking leaders and asked what books or podcasts I’d recommend. ⁦Craig Groeschel⁩ is one I don’t miss and this two part series is especially impactful. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cra…

Director Chopra does not understand the economics of banking nor the value of the products and services we provide to our customers. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…

Thank GOD and Merry Christmas! I just can't Thank GOD Enough, because He Gave The Greatest Gift of ALL! Now, that Act alone should Make You Merry on Christmas Day! #MerryChristmas #JesusIsLord

Many thanks to the entire team at ⁦American Bankers Association⁩ for a great Community Bankers Conference and for hosting an awesome Chiefs tailgate party for the big game! My condolences to the Pennsylvania bankers that were with us that evening.

Home ownership is a key to financial wellbeing, building generational wealth, and having a thriving community. Penalizing those with good credit is not the way to get there. zerohedge.com/personal-finan…

Humbled and thankful to be recognized by Mayor Tyrone for the impact our team is having on helping the Mexican American community realize the dream of home ownership!

No good deed goes unpunished! There was a time as bankers we encouraged people to pay back their debts. This new FHFA mortgage pricing model actually penalizes you for doing that.  If you are getting ready to buy a home your payment could be $100 higher a month as a reward!

It’s always refreshing to get to visit with Federal Reserve Governor Bowman. I am grateful she takes the time to learn how policy and regulation impacts community banks and be our voice.

Wow! If you haven’t seen the Grand Canyon or hiked it rim to rim in a day, put it in your list. It’s a great place to meet God!

It is important to share how all legislation impacts you and your business with our representatives. Our ability to do this is one of the many things that makes our country still the best in the world. Thanks to the American Bankers Association for creating space for us to do this!

With tax-exempt credit unions accounting for roughly a quarter of this year’s bank acquisitions — each of which expands the federal tax exemption for more than $2 trillion in credit union assets and displaces a trusted provider of credit in local communities — Congress must act
