Text me! Tell me something good!

Ever feel like life has you and your spouse running on autopilot—barely syncing up beyond the "have-to-know" daily details?

I get it. A few years ago, a random podcast episode turned into one of the best decisions of our marriage: an intentional weekend away to reconnect, dream again, and actually plan for the life we wanted.

John Maxwell said it best:
"When you live each day with intentionality, there’s almost no limit to what you can do. You can transform yourself, your family, your community, and your nation. When enough people do that, they can change the world.”

That first weekend changed everything for us. And now, six years later, we’re packing our bags once again—bringing all those questions, conversations, and dreams along for the ride. We’re heading somewhere special, and we can’t wait to see what unfolds.

Text me! Tell me something good!

Have you ever had a friend point out something about you that you totally hadn’t noticed before?

Was it a shock? Or—let’s be real—did you actually know but just chose to ignore it?

Friends play a lot of roles in our lives, but the best ones? They’re the ones you can trust with the call out. The kind that’s honest, maybe a little uncomfortable, but always wrapped in love.

This idea never really crossed my mind—until recently. And once I started thinking about it, I couldn’t unthink it. You’ll see what I mean.

Oh, and don’t forget—you can text me now! Tell me what you think about all this, or just send something good my way. Because who doesn’t need more of that?

Imagine… Every continent. Every Denomination. Together across 25 hours on March 1, 2025.

As I sat there listening to Jennie Allen and ALL the passion flowing out of her, I wished you could have been there with me. I knew I could tell you about it, but there was no chance I could fully share about Gather25 in the same compelling way Jennie does.

I am so excited to be able to share these clips with you so you can hear straight from the visionary herself. Enjoy!
