Grateful to be with my friend Jonathan Macklin tonight and to hear his vision for sharing the gospel and stopping human trafficking in Zambia. He and his wife Lindsay are doing a wonderful work.

Honored to have Dr. Jerry Vines at our office today sharing with pastors. Still preaching strong at 87. Great interview about preaching but him leading the singing was a highlight!

Debbie and I are grieving over the news that our sweet friend, Kay Arthur, has slipped into the presence of our Lord. She spoke at many of our Women of Joy conferences, encouraged us, prayed with us, and mentored us in many ways. Grateful our paths crossed this side of eternity.

Be the man you've always wanted to be! Join us for a transformative weekend at Propst Arena in Huntsville on June 13-14!

41 years ago today this precious lady said yes to a life of ministry with me. A godly, beautiful and loving wife, mom and grandmother. Happy anniversary Debbie. I love you!

Looking forward to talking with two of my favorites. Always fun! Be sure to join us.

And I’m thankful for you my friend!

Great spending time with Jeff Foxworthy ⁦Gridiron Men⁩ this weekend. Super nice guy!

When the captain writes you a note to say thank you for flying a million miles with ⁦Delta⁩ it takes customer service to a whole new level! Thanks Captain Tom Mitchell (1433) for your kindness. People like you are rare!

Grateful this past Sunday I got to share at North Highlands Baptist Church in Hueytown, Al to honor my friend Bill Donaldson for his 25 years as Pastor of Pastor Care. Thank you for your faithfulness!

Just finished reading this book by ⁦rick burgess⁩. Couldn’t put it down. Honest, moving, convincing and encouraging. Thanks Rick for writing it. It made me a better man.

Happy birthday Jon Acuff. Debbie joins me in wishing you a wonderful birthday. Thanks for your investment in our family and staff. And thanks for being a friend!

Debbie and I were thrilled to welcome our friend and best selling novelist ⁦Karen Kingsbury⁩ to our office. Excited about her new movie The Christmas Ring coming to theaters November 6.

We are lifting up the Pankratz family. ❤️

Debbie and I were honored to have Mike Pence speak at our 50th ministry anniversary. Your words encouraged our heart!

Thank you, Michael W. Smith, for capping off a great weekend celebrating our 50th ministry anniversary by coming to First Baptist Church in Decatur and leading us in a night of worship!

Jesus didn’t abandon His mission, even when it led to the cross. In the same way, doves never abandon their nest. They stay, they protect, they endure. Let this be a reminder: purpose requires presence. Stay rooted. Stay faithful.

Turning in tonight after a beautiful Alaskan sunset.
