Akin gives room for normal pastors. He isn't a morning person. He doesn't love wearing suits. He lacks pretension, isn’t beholden to anyone, and leads with strength and humility. Well done, Dr. Akin. Thanks for everything.

I was at SEBTS last week with 800 other Pillar Network leaders for a conference. Akin graciously led a Q&A with some of our regional leaders. Pillar wouldn't be the network it is without Akin's leadership at SEBTS.

All roads of my life, in some way, lead back to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary during Akin’s tenure. I graduated three times, married my wife in Binkley, preached in that chapel, and I pastored less than a mile from campus.

I knew this was coming, but I’m still sad to hear it. I started at Southeastern College the year after Dr. Akin arrived. I saw him take that school and create an amazing culture of theological education, pastoral ministry, and missions sending. That’s why I kept going back.

I knew of @VoddieBaucham primarily because I interacted with him while researching and writing about the family-integrated church movement. So sorry to hear about his death today.

I'm tired of seeing murder. Not just reports of murder, but videos of murder itself. Death is unnatural. It is the last enemy. And one day, it will all have passed away. But in the meantime, I don't want to see it.

At Freedom Church, we let the littles get a front row view of our baptisms. Had the chance to #fillthetank this morning.

HOT TIP for anyone running for the NC Senate seat in 2026. Barbecue has ended campaigns. It will end yours too. Beware.
