Kicked off Pastor Appreciation month this morning for my good friend Pastor E C Maltbia. He has pastored this flagship Conway, AR church well for 32 years. In October, make sure your pastor and wife know how much they are loved and appreciated.

On my last day at @GuideStone I spoke at @MBTS in K.C. This marked my 11th yr of service to pastors. Many thanks to Drs. @ThomRainer & @Hance_Dilbeck for entrusting me w/ ministries; also the seminaries, conventions, assoc & mission boards. Now it’s time to lead @arkbaptists!

Encouraging lunch w/ one of my predecessors, Dr. Emil Turner, former Exec Director of the Arkansas Baptist Convention for 17 years. His last 11 yrs overlapped w/ my pastorate in Conway. Dr. Turner is still actively encouraging Arkansas pastors & churches! #bigshoes @arkbaptists

Privileged to preach to college ministry staff & students at the @arkbaptists BCM retreat. God is moving on campuses & churches across the country and I’m praying for pastors & church leaders to pour gas on these revival fires!

Requesting prayer for my mentor & friend Dr. Don Moore (former @arkbaptists Exec Dir). “Pray for my bone marrow to kick in. 3 months is the typical life span w/my heart condition.” Dr. Moore (91) is in hospice care and clearly not afraid of death or ambivalent about heaven.

College players praying across the field pregame from both teams highlighted the UCA/UAPB game. The H.S. is stirring students across the nation! The game & bands were amazing, as well as my favorite @ucabears alumnus/date!

55% of Americans will die without a will or trust. “We can minimize friction or avoid it altogether during a time of grief by preparing a will or trust.” — @markdance

Abraham put his house in order before he died. And his example inspired me and my wife to create a checklist to help our parents finish well.
