Never stop serving the church. These two ideas are not at odds. My family is my primary ministry. They matter more to me than any local church. For that reason, I hope my family thrives in our church. One effective way I can nurture that love and growth in my family, especially with my kids, is by involving them in ministry. The Lord has blessed my wife and me with three sons. They love our church family, and our church loves them. I\u2019m genuinely grateful. Regarding the church, I hope my kids will love others well and feel loved in return. It\u2019s a joy to have my kids involved in my life and our church community. Here are a few ways I strive to maintain that joy."}
