We had a powerful night of worship in the Spare Oom this past Wednesday as pastors and ministry leaders from the Fossores Chapter House here in Jackson joined us in song. All of the songs wove together to tell a story of surrender, faith, and desire. I’ve pulled out the spontaneous parts to make a…
In our first episode of the David’s Promise Podcast, Tim talks about his favorite hobbies, Jamin talks about Lent, and Steve talks about why serving at David’s Promise is so important to him. David’s Promise is an inclusive community, recognizing the unique qualities and needs of each individual with developmental disabilities. We believe that all…
“The world needs a man, A manly man of men.” The Father birthed a baby, Who stayed a virgin to the end. “The world needs a man Who won’t run away from a fight.” The Father sent his refugee, And to Egypt he took flight. “The world needs a man, Made of work and sweat…

It’s one of my core memories: I was sitting at the piano in our living room when my mom walked in and asked, “Jamin, did you just tell your brother you hated him?” I nodded and was sent to my room without much discussion. I had been sent to my room plenty as a kid,…
At church this morning, we sang songs about King Jesus and the backward kingdom he’s trying to bring to earth through the loving actions of his citizens.
