Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Nothing New Under The Sun "The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."— Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV) This spring, I planted my two raised garden beds, starting my backyard gardening journey. No mustard seeds planted yet (that's a callback, more on that in a moment.) I am doing succession planting, where early crops will be replaced with things that will provide a bounty in late summer and into the fall. Some plants are thriving. A few are struggling. A few seem determined to test my faith more thoroughly than any of life's inconveniences before or since. One thing gardening teaches rather quickly is that nature is remarkably honest. Turn over a rock and you will discover life is already hard at work. Plants reach for sunlight. Insects build homes. Creatures find food. Sometimes two bugs are engaged in...

March 3, 2026 Brothers and Sisters in Christ, A Season of Celebrations This time of year is a special one in our household.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Bearing Faithful Witness One of the quiet gifts of growing older is learning how to honor what truly matters even when our perspectives and spiritual styles differ. My father Dr. Davy and I did not see the world or faith the same way. He carried a strong “Sword of Christ” theology, rooted in clarity, authority, and lots of exclamation points (!!!) My current journey as someone who volunteers for my mama, Sister Cathy, is one of learning and growing. It has been shaped by Jesus walking in the dust with people, sitting with the wounded, and entering messy human stories. We approached following Christ from different angles, sometimes with real tension between us, yet always with the same goal to bring people to Christ. When I come to you, I leave my worldly biases behind. As I continue to carry Dr. Davy’s mission forward in our church family, I’m reminded that unity in Christ does not require uniformity...
