Mother's Day Recap

I promised a Mother's Day message unlike any of you've ever heard before. I'm pretty sure we delivered on that promise today at ACC.

During the message, Jackie Jump, a loyal ACCer, shared the story of her wayward daughter. It was powerful stuff. If you missed it, we'll have the sermon audio on our website soon.

We had some frank talk about how we respond when children walk away from God as they get older. I see so many moms and dads agonizing over their child's rejection of the faith, and yet the church is largely silent about it. I decided that ACC would not be silent about it. It's too important. Too many people are hurting over it.

It was a tough, emotional morning. But ultimately, God's Spirit showed up to comfort and minister to those who are hurting.

And I've gotta give a very special thanks to Jackie. Sharing her story took some serious guts. Thanks for your transparency, Jackie! God used you in a big way this morning.
