I can’t even put into words how much of a blessing it’s been to welcome little Kannon Judah Bethke into this world a couple days ago. The love of our family and friends, as well as you guys, has been such an encouragement. I put together a little birth vlog below. And can we all just agree that Alyssa is a boss with birth?! She was a champ and did it with such grace and beauty. Love that girl!  ... Read more

Sometimes life can seem so heavy. The burdens we carry seem so big. Whether it’s small things that add up, or big issues that weigh us down. In the mundane, or the unordinary.

I usually listen and then say something to the extent of “ya if that God you’re describing was the God of the Bible I wouldn’t follow Him either.” So many times we don’t realize the thing... Read more

Some of you saw the Facebook picture I posted last week. It was actually my most liked, engaged, commented picture of all time on my page. But since then I’ve wanted to share how that “full circle” moment came about that I share in the picture. This video is the story but also more importantly what I learned about God through it all. PS for those asking, yes you can still get the freebies I mention at the end of... Read more
