This past weekend, my brother and I finally made it to our first Vikings game at U.S. Bank Stadium. The highlight? Watching my friend Carson Wentz run out of the tunnel as the starting QB—a childhood dream come true for him. The road hasn’t gone as he planned: six teams in six seasons, trades, setbacks. Yet through it all, God’s greater story is unfolding. It left me asking—what dormant dreams might God want to revive in us?

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, I’ve been reminded of this truth: if it’s in your heart, it belongs in your prayers. God isn’t afraid of our raw emotions—anger, fear, sadness, or confusion. From David crying out in a cave to Jesus praying in the garden, Scripture shows us the power of unfiltered prayers. In this article, I share reflections from this past week and how Chip Dodd’s Voice of the Heart helps us see our emotions as signals that can lead us deeper into God’s presence.

After over a decade in full-time pastoral ministry, I recently stepped into a new season — one that brings me closer to the dreams God has been stirring in my heart for years. In this post, I share the story behind the transition, what I’m doing now with Valley Christian Counseling & Wellness, and how I’m stepping more intentionally into writing, speaking, and resource development. We're still here in Fargo, still rooted at Northview Church, and more excited than ever for what’s ahead. If you’ve been wondering what’s next — this is the place to find the full story.

We don’t run because we love it. We run because we hate it—and we’re doing it anyway. This isn’t about finish lines or performance. It’s about choosing to do hard things—together. One uncomfortable mile at a time.
