A little later than normal, but my summer break is here!
My elders are gracious each year to make sure my family and I get some time to rest and recharge. I’ll be posting many of our adventures on Instagram.
Also, if you’re a part of Revolution, be ready for July 15th. That is the first day that our brand new worship pastor, Jerry Tipton will be leading worship.
Can’t wait!
I often get asked what I’m reading over the summer, so here are a few of the books I’m most excited about (remember leaders, on your vacation, read books that benefit you personally):
- Man, Interrupted: Why Young Men are Struggling & What We Can Do About It
- Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace
- The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults
- The Tech-Wise Family: Everyday Steps for Putting Technology in Its Proper Place
- Braving the Wilderness: The Quest for True Belonging and the Courage to Stand Alone
- Insight: The Surprising Truth About How Others See Us, How We See Ourselves, and Why the Answers Matter More Than We Think
- Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead
- Wrestling with God: Finding Hope and Meaning in Our Daily Struggles to Be Human
