Flying Cars and a Wasp Named Pickles

Why the moments that mean something aren’t always the ones we try to make unforgettable.

^{Hi friends,}

^{Florida keeps gifting us with some interesting moments. Occasionally they come flying down the road on two wheels.}

^{In front of us… a motorcyclist balancing on the back wheel for what must have been 5 minutes, right in the middle of traffic. Without missing a beat, our daughter laughed, “You know…if this were back in the northeast, you’d be calling the police. Now you’re following him and cheering him on.”}
^{Rules are different here. So is the fun.}🌴^☀️

^{Have a great, safe 4th of July!}

Listen to this week’s Anchor Points

^{Short, devotional-style reflections that anchor your day in truth.}

^{Pity Party Days}^–^{When life feels heavy, here’s why God invites us to bring our mess. Not hide it.}
^{The Gospel According to Shifu}^–^{What a joyful dog can teach us about sharing our faith with boldness and delight.}
^{The Two Little Words Sabotaging Your Confidence}^–^{How dropping “I’m just” from your vocabulary can change how you live and lead.}

TRUTH IN

FAITH OUT

^{John Adams said that America’s independence would be celebrated “with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations”; from one end of the continent to the other, forevermore.}

TRUTH IN:

^{“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free…”}^{(Galatians 5:1)}

^{Fireworks and parades are powerful symbols, but the truest freedom isn’t found in a declaration or a nation. It’s found in Christ, who frees us not just from tyranny, but from sin, fear, and the need to prove ourselves.}

FAITH OUT:

^{As we celebrate our country’s freedom tomorrow, let’s live out the freedom we have in Christ. We are no longer bound by the things that once controlled us: sin, shame, fear, striving, and the pressure to earn love or prove our worth.}

^{That’s freedom worth celebrating: in our nation, and even more so in our Savior. Wishing you a joyful, safe, and meaningful 4th of July!}
