Heading to Bear Trail Baptist Church

I'm honored to be preaching at Bear Trail Baptist Church's Bible Conference this December 29-31, 2025. The theme is "All Things Through Christ" from Philippians chapter 4, and I can't think of a better way to close out 2025.

When Paul wrote, under the Holy Spirit's inspiration: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," he wasn't sitting in comfort, he was in a prison cell suffering.

And yet he says: "in whatsoever state I am"—contentment.

That can't be the power of positive thinking. It MUST BE Christ living through a surrendered vessel. Because no matter the state Paul was in, he relied on Christ to give him the strength to endure whatever God allowed.

This conference is going to be a blessing. Pastor Tim Crotts and the members of Bear Trail Baptist Church are faithful servants of the Lord, and I'm gratefully honored they've invited me to be a part of it.

If you're interested in joining us on December 29th-31st, kindly contact Bear Trail Baptist Church to confirm there is still seating available. If you can't make it in person, they will be livestreaming their conference on their YouTube channel. (Which I also recommend you 'Subscribe' to)

Exciting about closing out this year, focusing on Christ. Not on ourselves. Not on our circumstances. On Him.
