The Heart of the Gospel is NOT Checking off Boxes

What does it look like to trust God when you don’t have an answer to “Why?” In this episode, we sit down with the president of the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FEC) to hear the story behind his faith, leadership, and passion for reaching people with the Gospel. He opens up about growing up without a dad and the lasting impact of missing that father figure in his life. He also shares how he learned to trust God even when the answers didn’t come. We talk about the challenge of balancing a demanding job that requires a lot of travel with his commitment to putting his family first. He gives insight into the FEC’s growing vision of planting churches across the country and now internationally in Africa. But perhaps most importantly, he shares a personal lesson he had to learn: you can spend your life trying to please God, checking all the right boxes, doing all the right things—and still find yourself lonely. This is a conversation about faith, family, leadership, trusting God in the unknown, and discovering that following Jesus is about far more than simply checking the boxes.
