Christmas morning, our family woke up to the usual tree with presents and much excitement. The kids were beaming ear to ear, and like always were very, very excited to open gifts. It was then that something different happened. Just before we were about to tell the kids to open their presents, Leo, our 6 year old tugged on my shirt and said “Dad, would you open the present I got you first?” I was quite struck by his question, a child more excited for us to open his gift then he was about opening ours..

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I find these kids teaching me the Good News. They teach me the Gospel in action. In this case, living out Jesus’s word- “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

For Courtney and me, Leo taught us both something that I want to take into this new year. To just give. Give of my time. My love. My money. My gifts. Not only that, but to find deep joy in it… like that of the joy our son had when giving me his present Christmas morning.

May 2024 be the most joyful year of our lives as we learn and relearn to give.

Happy New Year!

Reconnected us to heaven🪽
And brought heaven down to earth 🌏
And now he offers us redemption ✝️
A fresh start, freedom ⛓️
So we can hold our heads high ⬆️
and march into the new year 🎆
knowing that we’re never alone 👥

…To all of us who feel like we have nothing left to give, nothing to bring, we can know God is smiling at us, that he’s loving us, that YOU ARE ENOUGH!

Merry Christmas, family. 🎄 We’ve made it. Nearly 2024. It’s held a lot for all of us, hasn’t it?

Maybe you’ve lost someone close to you. Maybe you’ve found love. Maybe you have questioned: Where is God? Who is God? Is He some far off distant figure, watching from above?

Luke and I stand before you today more convicted, more convinced, more passionate than ever.. that God is not some man upstairs looking down on his experiment called planet earth. 🌎 God is here. God is now. God is with us.

If you’ve never felt near to God, know this- on this day, some 2,000 years ago, God drew near to you.

A very Merry Christmas to you. You are so loved. 🙏🏽🤍❄️

Phoenix has been touring since he was 8 weeks old in an RV. At a very young age he stated he felt God’s love when he played his drums- a very profound thing for a toddler to say. It’s amazing to watch children grow and unfold into who they are. Yesterday he turned 9 years old. Now he’s the real life drummer boy on this Christmas tour with me- side by side. Giving our gifts back to the one who gave them to us. 🥁👦🏼 -L
