“Let’s keep doing what Southern Baptists do best when we’re at our best: seek first the kingdom, stick together as a family, and think multiplication.
The fields are ready. The moment is urgent. And the story God is writing through a sending people is far from finished.” -@NoahOldham
Let’s get to work!

Sometimes those closest to us are far from God. 👇
Here are a few easy ways to start gospel-centered conversations around your table this week:
💬 “What’s one thing you’re thankful for from this year, even if it was hard?”
→ A bridge to talk about God’s faithfulness in every season.
💬 “What’s the best thing that has happened to you this year?”
→ Open space for testimony and personal faith stories.
💬 “Can I pray a quick prayer of thanks for us before we eat?”
→ A natural, kind way to bring Christ into the moment.
💬 “You know what I’m most thankful for? The hope I’ve found in Jesus.”
→ Simple. Relatable. Personal.
Be bold. Be kind. Be thankful. And point people to Jesus!

Astronomical faith!
CBS News reporter Mark Strassmann to astronaut Butch Wilmore: What is your life lesson or takeaway from these nine months in space?
“My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It's bound in my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory… And however that plays out, I am content because I understand that.”

So thankful that @SpeakerJohnson will provide leadership for the 119th Congress. With all the great qualities he has as a leader, I am also thankful he is a devout follower of Jesus Christ, and active in a Southern Baptist church. We need to pray for him daily.

It’s that time of year again—we turn our clocks back on Sunday. My Sunshine Protection Act would make Daylight Saving Time permanent and put an end to these twice-a-year shifts. Retweet if you agree.

RIP Bill Walton

Easter is a sacred day to millions of Americans and Christian’s around the world. This action by the Joe Biden regime is deplorable debauched and demonic. This is not about left or right politically but right or wrong morally. Enough is enough! How dare this President dishonor the King of all Kings who is alone worthy to be worshipped on the Lord’s Day. But of course Jesus defeated the grave and will defeat all his enemies and those who think than can diminish Him by a declaration from Hell

Need more evidence of the depraved priorities of President Biden and his administration? Just remember the fact that tomorrow is Resurrection Sunday. We get it. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

The President’s proclamation for Easter Sunday is a gross, deliberate insult. Shameful. This is the modern face of paganism. But it won’t change the facts about tomorrow one iota. All the wickedness of the this administration can’t put Jesus back in the grave.

I know we’re not supposed to be thinking reasonably anymore…
However, where are all the girls identifying as guys trying to play men’s sports right now? It’s always and only the opposite scenario. Confused boys wanting to play against strong women.
As Christians, we’re supposed to love, but we’re also supposed to advocate for those experiencing injustice.
My dad taught me from the moment I could understand, “you never, ever harm a woman.” And, I’ve already started passing this on by teaching my young sons the same lesson.
This isn’t about trans rights. It’s men harming women. We need real men to stand up, and strong women refuse to participate.
