First off, hallelujah it’s day 100! Our guest note on this last day is from Ashley who is a lovely young woman who attends our church and is also a friend to our family. Ashley is one of the most generous people I know. She’s known in our community for serving and especially for making delicious cookies. Here’s what she shared.

I’m so glad this final note came in from Anna, a godly young Med student in our church.

Today’s guest contributor is one of my close friends, John Michaelson. He came to Providence many years ago and established a thriving ministry at Brown University while also serving Ren Church in a variety of leadership capacities. He and his lovely wife Lynne have two beautiful children, Grace and Sam. John is now on staff at our church helping me with pastoral work. Here’s his note.

I’m excited about our guest contributor today. Her name is Andria, a young wife and mom in our community. She was one of the first people to write at the very start of the 100 Day Pursuit after day two. God was already moving powerful in her. I can only imagine the deep work the Lord has done in her after 97 days! Here’s her note.

Today’s note is from a young woman in our church named Shayna who seems to have an extra portion of joy all the time. She highlights one of my tougher messages about the little hidden sins and questionable things that can slowly erode our spiritual life. I really appreciate Shayna’s courage to share this.

Today’s guest note comes from a lovely woman named Sue who attends our church with her husband Greg. I look up to this couple so much as examples of keeping the fire alive year after year. They are both so godly, so kind, and so excited about Jesus. Here’s what she shared.

Good morning everyone and happy Resurrection Day! God is so good, and I’m excited that the weather is beautiful in Rhode Island for our outdoor service. I imagine all of you receiving this today are planning on doing something special this Easter Day to celebrate Christ risen.

My family always teases me that I don’t like lights. In the daytime I prefer natural light, even if it’s dim, and in the evening I prefer low atmospheric lighting. But I really don’t like dark places.

Today is Good Friday. That means a lot of places around Rhode Island will be serving fish. But it’s more than that, of course. It’s a day to remember the death of Jesus. Normally the death of someone is not something to celebrate, but the death of Christ is different. It accomplished something.

Today’s guest contributor is a wonderful woman of God, named Edna, born and raised in Mexico. She married one of my close friends, Shane. They have twins named Daniel and Sofia who are on the cusp of becoming teens. We had the privilege of hosting the whole family at our house for a few days while they were visiting New England (they live in Texas now). This family inspires me! Here’s Edna’s lovely note:
