Pastor Brent opened his heart this week, sharing both personal trials and spiritual triumphs. Instead of the usual Father’s Day “dad bashing,” he offered spiritual tools that everyone—dads, moms, and all—can use to walk in victory.
Victory Through Christ, Not Defeat
Pastor Brent passionately reminds us that believers are called to walk in victory, regardless of what society or circumstances dictate. Drawing from his own health struggles, he emphasizes that our identity is rooted in Christ’s triumph—even when we feel crushed, abandoned, or hopeless. The message: claim the victory Jesus has already won for you.
Essential Tools for Spiritual Growth
The Christian life isn’t meant to be lived empty-handed. Brent outlines a spiritual “tool belt” essential for flourishing: confession, prayer, building a real relationship with Christ (not just religious routines), and studying God’s Word. Just like tools in a garage are only useful when put to work, these disciplines must be regularly used to see true spiritual progress.
Embracing Service and Stewardship
We’re not just saved for ourselves, but called to serve our families, church, and community. Pastor Brent urges men and women alike to step into servant leadership at home and beyond, pointing to tangible opportunities for outreach (such as the upcoming community event). Our purpose is ultimately found in stewarding everything God gives us—our gifts, resources, and relationships—for His glory and the good of others.
