This doesn’t read like failure—it reads like faithfulness under pressure. You’ve been carrying a heavy load: writing, working full-time, and bearing family burdens most people never see. Yet instead of hiding, you’ve chosen to step into the light, admit where things slipped, and set a new course. That takes courage. We respect this. Many of us will even feel closer to your ministry because you were real and spoke with raw honesty. And now, with your wife stepping in, you’re not just fixing logistics—you’re showing what biblical teamwork in marriage looks like. Stay steady. God doesn’t call us to perfection; He calls us to perseverance. The very fact that you’re pressing on—even while walking through little Blake at NICU heartache and life’s chaos—is a testimony in itself. Keep going. This is a turning point, not a dead end. We’re with you.
People need to understand that you have just as busy a life as they do, with the same kinds of problems. Honesty and transparency are rare these days. You and yours are always in my prayers. Fight the good fight and finish the race, brother. Maranatha!
Kudos to you!! I get it. I’m not organized and having to deal with technical issues when you can almost never talk to a real person is a challenge, especially when juggling life that has its own challenges. Thanks for your honesty, it goes a long way!
Your honest integrity and transparency are next to none!!!
Your biblical knowledge and gift to impart what God has given you is worth its weight in Gold!!!
The obvious part was you were overburdened and sinking in the area many could help you with!!!
Thank you Kristie for taking over what does need much attention!!I’m willing to walk to the ends of the earth with you to insure your gifting is never separated from me my heart my ears!!! God’s blessings are worth all of my patience!!! Thank you Adam for all you do and for standing with us when we aren’t very lovable!!!
From what I can remember from my time in the IT department at a multinational, Stripe is a nightmare world, grotesque and full of horror from an interfacing perspective. I'm sorry Substack doesn't have an alternative!
Great accountability, ownership and action. There are alway problems with growth it mean your going where you have not been before. You know this I am sure it always feels worse when it’s you. I tell my team, this is what growing looks like now let’s get after it. Looking forward to following along.
“A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends” Job 6:14(partial) Anyone serious about following you and wants more should and will understand… if not that’s on them!! Continuing to look forward to all you have to offer 🥰😇 and praying 🙏
