Don’t tell me “I don’t believe in women pastors” when I’m standing right there being one. God called, I answered and believing in God (not me) is the goal. Not everyone thinks women should be pastors (hint: women who are pastors know this already). #clergylife

Miss Grace made me this magnificent wildcat picture. So grateful for my wildcat kids.

#Rez21 online! mark oestreicher shared about the confident Hope in God—this is not optimism or wishful thinking. We need to be open and honest with Jesus about our pain/struggle to make room for the grace of God to pour in! Powerful word! Thank you! Holston Conference
