This dog may have been little, but she took up a huge place in my heart.

Rescued from a shelter, she had trauma that caused her anxiety every time I left the house. So you could probably imagine her excitement every time I walked back inside that door.

She was always at my feet or on my lap. When I was in seminary and they went to remote learning during the pandemic, she was on my lap during my classes, so she had a year’s worth of a Master’s in Divinity education too.

Macy showed me that love knows no species, no boundaries, and no conditions. A valuable life lesson we learn from our pets.

She may have started as ‘man’s best friend,’ but she became so much more - a beloved family member, a cherished companion, and a loving friend.

I’ve come to realize that healing is a cycle of progress and setbacks, of breakthroughs and breakdowns.

In 2025, I’ll live with greater intention, cultivate meaningful relationships, and walk towards the light.

This new year represents an opportunity to take more of these steps while reminding myself that healing is not a solo endeavor, but one that requires patience, kindness, and understanding.

Today is my brother’s birthday.

This is his second birthday he’s missed.
He died June 26, 2023.

I spent the day playing basketball 🏀
The game he taught me to play and that I fell in love with. And now I’m watching football, wishing I could text him about our fantasy team rivalry. The first year went by so fast as it felt like time stopped for me but that for everyone else it kept going.

In the 2nd year, I’m continuing through the stages of grief, and it’s not that it gets any easier, I just understand now that he’s gone but I have to keep going.

So a big part of my ministry is helping the hurting. He battled depression, he battled substance abuse, and struggled as a type 1 diabetic.

I want to encourage others who are going through hardships as well but at the same time I find solace knowing that my brother is no longer suffering.

I will however continue to talk about him, remember him, honor him, and show up for my three nephews. He will never be forgotten. I live each day with purpose being intentional about doing things the best I can with the time I have left.

In loving memory of Travis Lee Kern 💙

Went to lunch at one of my favorites

The table next to us handed me this card and said they bought our lunch.

The card reads, “Kindness is Contagious.”

is spreading kindness one random act at a time. What they didn’t know was that it’s my nephew’s birthday today. I was out celebrating his birthday, which is always a bittersweet day for me after my brother died last year. This simple act was much needed and a reminder that God is near the broken-hearted. ❤️‍🩹

Hey Christians! ✋

What are you known for?

• Divisiveness: Being overly partisan and contributing to polarization
• Unkind behavior: Displaying hatred, anger, or disrespect towards those with differing opinions
• Excluding: Marginalizing or dismissing individuals who don’t share similar views
• Judgmentalism: Criticizing others without compassion or understanding
• Hypocrisy: Discrepancy between professed values and actual actions
• Intolerance: Refusing to accept or consider opposing viewpoints
• Legalism: Overemphasizing rules and regulations over love and grace
• Nationalism: Confusing patriotism with spiritual identity

or….

• Love: An action of being merciful, compassionate, sympathetic, kind, generous, and patient.


Maybe we as Christians should focus on embodying love, compassion, and understanding?

Maybe our churches should prioritize educating and mobilizing “fellow citizens of heaven” rather than confusing their mission with political agendas?

Maybe Christians can be known for their love, acceptance, and inclusivity?

Maybe. 🙏

I’m committed to embracing boldness in my faith. It’s the audacity to dream big, to love without limits, and to share the message of hope with a world that desperately needs it. Boldness is not just an attitude; it’s a posture of heart, a choice to trust in the goodness and guidance of our Heavenly Father.

I want to be bold enough to shine brightly in the darkest corners. To be a spark that ignites a movement of hope, inspiring others to boldly be transformed by faith, challenge the status quo, and shine their own light for the world to see.

This past week at Cascade Christian Academy, we explored “The Big Picture,” discovering our place in God’s grand design.

Key Takeaways:
💙 Service to others is a vital part of our faith journey.
💙 Our talents are gifts to be used for God’s purposes.
💙 Finding purpose in everyday moments brings us closer to God.
💙 Growing in intimacy with God reveals our role in His greater plan.

So here’s a reminder to remain focused on the Big Picture, seeking ways to serve, sharing your talents, and cultivating a deeper relationship with God.

Jesus is the missing piece to your missing peace.

God allows us to have trials, because they prove the genuineness of our faith.

The trials strengthen us. God didn’t promise you a life without struggles and pain. But He promised to give you strength to overcome them. That strength is found in Jesus.

“I have told you these things that IN ME, you may have peace. IN THIS WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE. But take heart, I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33
