Another move. Another goodbye. Another beginning. Military families become remarkably good at starting over. But they also learn something beautiful: Home isn’t an address. Home is something you build together. Today’s Military Monday honors every family that has rebuilt home aga

We hear constantly about becoming a better version of ourselves. But Christianity begins somewhere different. The Gospel is the good news of what Jesus has already done. He died for our sins. He was buried. He rose again. Salvation isn’t something we achieve by becoming sufficiently r

I’ve been sitting with this thought today: “The blood of Jesus does not teach us to quit. It reminds us what faithfulness looks like when the road gets hard.” Faith isn’t convincing ourselves that we are powerful enough for everything. It’s remembering where our power comes from. Need w

Keep going when the room is quiet. Keep believing when others don’t. Your future is built in the moments when your conviction has to be enough. What keeps you moving? #WednesdayWisdom #Motivation #KeepGoing #Believe #Growth

Instead of tackling a giant wedding checklist, establish four things first: 1. Budget — What range feels responsible and comfortable? 2. Approximate Guest Count — Are you imagining 50 people or 250? 3. Season — Spring, summer, autumn or winter? 4. Venue — Where does the wedding you’re i

Well… 58 has officially arrived. ❤️ I woke up this morning still smiling—and honestly a little overwhelmed—by the number of birthday messages, texts, calls, comments and well wishes I received on Sunday. To everyone who took a moment out of your day to wish me a happy birthday: thank you. Tru

My birthday is today, but this year I don’t want the story to be about me. I want it to be about my beautiful wife. Kristine has stood beside me through surgeries, recovery, dark valleys and adventures. She keeps Jesus at the center of our home, pushes me to become a better man, reminds me to

Every good and perfect gift comes from above. As Baby Stevie’s birthday approaches, this Throwback Thursday has me reflecting on one of God’s unexpected blessings in our lives. When this photograph was taken, she was simply a curious little kitten climbing onto my shoulders. Today, she’s b

It’s slowly handing it to everyone else. Every engagement begins with two people. Then suddenly, parents, family, friends, coworkers, Pinterest, Instagram, and countless well-meaning voices begin offering advice. Most of it comes from love. That’s what makes it difficult. After photo

Some weren’t old enough to wear one. Military children teach us resilience. Through every move. Every goodbye. Every fresh start. Thank you for your courage. Esquire Photography proudly offers 50% off photography services for military families. Our mission is preserving your le

One sentence has stayed with me all week. The deceitfulness of “more” will corrode your heart. Jesus’ warning to the rich fool was never simply about possessions. It was about misplaced worship. The barns became security. The harvest became identity. The gift quietly replaced the

For millions of Christians around the world, gathering to worship Jesus openly is still something they can only dream of. If you have the freedom to walk into God’s house this week, don’t let familiarity steal your gratitude. Cherish it. Honour it. Share it. ✝️ What is one thing you’re t

One of the most overlooked challenges in wedding planning isn’t financial. It’s cognitive. Too many excellent options. Too many opinions. Too much information. Eventually, every decision begins to feel equally risky. When Kristine and I planned our own wedding—even after photograp

It reveals what matters most. This week, each of you should privately write down the three things that matter most on your wedding day. Then compare your lists. Different priorities don’t create conflict. Hidden expectations do. Understanding one another may become the greatest inves

Military service is never carried by one person alone. Behind every service member is often a husband, wife, or partner quietly holding a family together through deployments, relocations, and uncertainty. Today’s Military Monday honours every military spouse whose courage rarely receives the

Dear Jesus Teach Me To Let Go

One of the fastest ways to miss an important moment is to become preoccupied with making it perfect. That principle applies to leadership, creativity, business—and weddings. Couples can spend months carefully planning every detail. Then the wedding day arrives, and instead of experiencing it,

The fastest way to lose yourselves in wedding planning is to begin with everyone else’s ideas. Before following wedding trends, family expectations, or endless inspiration boards, choose three words describing how you want your wedding to feel. Use those words to guide decisions about your venue
