Don’t ask me how but through providential circumstances my flight ✈️ from Miami to Dallas for the conference took me through Key West. That wasn’t so bad except it turned into a four hour layover! So what do you do when life hands you lemons? 🍋 In this case, it’s limes and you have Key Lime 🍋‍🟩 Pie in on the beach. 🏖️😜.

What a powerful and humbling moment this afternoon. We gathered some friends for fellowship and to pray over and my family as we embark on this new chapter in our lives. Called to plant a church, we cast vision and prayers to guide us on this journey. If interested in joining us next time DM me. God is moving in mighty ways in this city we call . Soli De Gloria! ☝️ ❤️‍🔥

Had a great time sharing the Word the other night with these mighty men of God at our event. Message was “Staying the Course.” Always powerful hearing the discussions and how these men are stepping up to the challenge to lead their homes faithfully. 👊💪🙏🏼.

What an honor to work alongside these for Christ. Every Thursday these men set aside time in the morning to lead inmates in the in prisons. The inmates are fellow brothers in Christ and we are always amazed at the work God is doing. We are humbled, refreshed and encouraged whenever we step by faith for His work. Press on my brothers!

So honored and appreciative for God’s guidance and generosity during this journey. Time and time again He has demonstrated His immeasurable love and grace. From my supportive family to the friends He’s placed on the path, to the seeming simple conversations that turned into life changing moments, He is sovereign over all. 💪Today we celebrate another milestone, .seminary awarding a full scholarship to complete the ! 🙏🏼 I’m thankful beyond measure and look forward to this next chapter in the calling! 🙏🏼Thank you Knox! ☝️Soli Deo Gloria ☝️

One of the best vacay with wife and kids. It was like date night every night. Disconnect to reconnect with God and family. A much needed recharge after such a busy year. Booking 2025 already! 🤪

This weekend was very encouraging gathering with family to celebrate my brother’s well earned accomplishment of earning his Masters degree in Computer Engineering from . This studs a 🧠🎓There was orange and blue everywhere! So proud of his journey and for his service to our country. May God continue to bless the work of his hands. Press on bro! 👊👊⚡️⚡️.

After having kids and watching my wife’s sacrificial love for them have I appreciated and valued my mother even more. Today my mom continues to love unconditionally as she extends her love to my wife and our kids. May God bless you both, mothers that give their all. Most importantly, their prayers for us to follow after God. ⚡️Thank you! Love you mom! ❤️‍🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼

Sixteen hours and still going. This is what seminary looks like. Theology books written by theologians from times past and modern day ones as well. It’s like reading in four languages all while trying to summarize hundreds of pages into a few dozen pages. Formula for success, pray, start early, stay focused, and take breaks. Then do it all over tomorrow 🙃🔥🔥.
PS. Did I mention this was just one class and one assignment…

Today was the most impactful moments of FX3 Razor Wire. For those unfamiliar, Razor Wire is our prison ministry initiative. It was given by the inmates themselves. They are the first graduating FX3 Challenge incarcerated class! 💪I truly believe these men are now free🔥 God has delivered them and given from their bo***ge into new life. I’m most thankful for these men that stepped up and out in faith to serve this discarded population. 👊 All glory to God! ☝️❤️‍🔥.

Today and I were honored and encouraged in joining FX3 host church as they graduated their very first class! ⚔️ 🔥. is doing a fantastic work leading the men in this church to model biblical manhood. If you live in the Lantana area we highly encourage you to visit and join their next Challenge group kicking off soon.

Twenty years ago, the woman of my dreams said “yes.” Twenty years seems but twenty days as I continue to love her in different ways as the seasons in our lives have changed. She is a true Proverbs 31 woman and honored to be her husband. God has been good and gracious over the years and our prayer for one another is that He would continue to be first in our lives. What I learned over the years is that marriage is about we, not me. Happy Anniversary my bride. Love you always! ❤️‍🔥🎉

Something I can’t explain but the older I get, the more I enjoy the simple stuff in life. One of this years highlights on our annual family trip to Georgia was stopping at for gas and treats. If you’ve never been, it’s an experience but try to hit them up really early or late. Their is crazy good too. Who would’ve figured from a mega gas station tourist trap! 👊💪🍗

Happy New Year all! 🎊As we reflect on the year that was, let us look up to the year that is to come. May God grant you much love, peace and most importantly power to accomplish His will as you look to Him. May you be blessed as you draw near to Him and may he bestow His favor upon you. Press on! Psalm 115:14-16

Merry Christmas to all! Christ the King 👑 gave the greatest gift of all, himself. May we contemplate this wonderful display of grace, mercy and most importantly love as we exchange gifts today. Let us never forget the true meaning of Christmas. ❤️‍🔥🙏🏼.
