URGENT PRAYER REQUEST: I am in Moneta (near Roanoke), Virginia, to preach the 20th church anniversary of Troy Keaton and the Eastlake Community Church. The service was in a tent on campus, with close to 1,000 attendees. Ten minutes into the service, a sudden, severe weather event pulled the support poles out of the ground and blew the tent off. One of the elders of the church went to be with Jesus, and several others were seriously injured. Please pray for Pastor Troy, Eastlake Church, and this community - that the hope of our risen Savior would be theirs in abundance during this crisis.

An Open Letter to Southern Baptists: I have been a Baptist my entire life, but I only became a Southern Baptist three years ago when I began serving as a pastor at the Hillcrest Baptist Church. At that time, I had very little understanding of who they were or how they operated, but what I have found are people who believe the Bible, preach the Word, live honest and humble lives, and believe in spreading the Gospel to the world through any means possible. This morning, the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention made a historic decision. This vote was not just about women pastors; it was about making a stand for the Word of God. The office of the Pastor being held solely by men is the critical point in refusing to step down the slippery slope of denying the Bible and falling into apostasy. History shows that no organized denomination has ever taken that step and come back from it. By a nearly 3/4 majority, our messengers decided to plant a flag on this issue. And I want to be 100% clear, I agree with this decision wholeheartedly. It is time for our generation to take a firm stand. There can be no more sideline commentators—only believers who stand solely on what the Bible says, not what the culture dictates. We stand on the shoulders of men like Criswell, Rogers, and Stanley, who fought in their generation to reclaim the Convention from liberal apostates. Now, that same spirit tries to slither its way back in. It is time to crush the head of the serpent once and for all and let the world know that we stand unashamedly, believing every word of the Bible. Our forefathers died because of their belief in this blessed Book; the least we can do is live for it. Some say this decision marginalizes women, but that is not true. I cannot speak for all Southern Baptist women, but the precious women of God in my congregation believe this was the right decision—not because I say so, but because they believe the Bible. This move will no doubt cause some to leave the Convention. While some may see this as a loss, it is no different than a surgeon removing a cancerous tumor; you are losing something that was once a part of you, but it was only going to cause further harm in the long term. So, in light of this, we stand. In the face of opposition, we stand. When the winds of culture blow against us, we stand. When others disagree, we stand. Let us boldly preach the Word, live holy and humble lives, and make our stand until our time on this earth is done or the Lord Jesus descends from heaven to call us home. Until Christ returns, Tyler Gaulden

There is a massive difference between being "busy" for God and being in step with God. Most people I talk to aren't suffering from a lack of purpose; they are suffering from a lack of time. We have bought into the cultural lie that hurry equals productivity and noise equals progress. But if you look at the life of Christ, His greatest moments of power followed His deepest moments of isolation. He didn’t sprint through His ministry; He walked intentionally, often slipping away to the "hidden places" to pray. If the enemy can’t make you bad, he will make you busy. Because a busy mind is a distracted mind, and a distracted mind is entirely blind to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. True spiritual authority isn’t built in the spotlight or on a stage. It is forged in the quiet, unhurried, daily discipline of seeking His presence before you seek the world's approval. If you are feeling spiritually exhausted today, it’s not because you aren’t doing enough. It’s likely because you are trying to sustain a public output without a private intake. Stop striving. Start abiding.

A lot of what we call "burnout" isn't physical exhaustion. It’s spiritual fatigue. It’s the heavy toll of trying to force open doors that God closed for your protection, or trying to sustain a version of yourself you’ve already outgrown. 5 signs you aren't stuck—you're just being redirected: 1. The disruption is the direction- Sometimes chaos is just the demolition required before the building can begin. 2. Rejection is actually insulation- If it walked away, it wasn't equipped for where you are going. 3. Your peace is your primary currency- If an opportunity costs you your alignment, the price tag is too high. 4. Frustration precedes revelation- The tension you feel is the stretching of your capacity, not your limitation. 5. Silence isn't absence- A quiet season isn't a dead season; it’s an anchoring season. Stop trying to control what you were only meant to witness. The less you force, the more room you give the promise to work.

Watching the reaction to the China summit, it’s clear that many would rather see our nation fail than see this administration succeed. We must decide if we love our country more than we hate our political opponents

Passive men have done more damage to this nation than any other force. By staying silent, we’ve allowed foolishness to reign, our children to lose their way, our churches to weaken, and our families to fracture. When we should have been leading, we were watching. When we should have been present, we were distracted. When we should have been speaking truth, we were silent. When we should have been grateful, we were unappreciative. Now, we are paying the price. It is time for men to stand up and lead with courage and integrity. It is time to guide our families in love and righteousness, to seek the face of God, to prioritize the church, and to work hard for things that will actually outlive us. The time for passivity is over. It’s time to lead.

While the church is fighting itself, Islam is invading America In 2025, reports say there were roughly 15,000 church closures across the United States. Meanwhile mosques are rising in every large city in America. We must repent and run back to God

I used to think the way to success was building a crowd. I was wrong. For a long time, I chased the numbers. I thought if I could just build a bigger audience, I would find what I was looking for. The real shift happened when I stopped focusing on the crowd and started seeking God. It changed everything about how I approach my work, my family, and my mission. Here is my simple 3-step mindset: 1. Silence the Noise: Intentional time to listen to God and read His word and pray 2. Prioritize Purpose: Asking "What is needed?" instead of "What is popular?" 3. Serve God and don’t worry about men: when God tells you to do something, obey Him and don’t worry about the opinions of others. Don’t miss what God is calling you to because you’re searching what you want to do.

When it comes to Israel, the noise is getting louder, but the reality hasn't changed. God still blesses those who bless Israel. I don’t look for my cues from social media trends. I look at history and I look at the necessity of a sovereign, secure Israel. Conviction means standing by your allies, even when it’s not the popular thing to do.

‼️This is our WARNING ‼️ Birds of a feather flock together. If the people of New York think that their mayor is offering them something new, simply ask Karl Marx and Mao Zedong how this ends. Communism is a failed experiment

They call it "tolerance." History calls it a judgment. ⚠️ Mayor Mandami swearing in on the Quran—in New York City—is the ultimate proof that we have abandoned the Word of God. From the Old Testament to the modern day, whenever a people reject the Bible, a "sword" is sent to bring them back to their knees. We are watching the consequences of our own compromise. You can’t remove the Foundation and expect the House to stand. #NewYorkCity

The best thing a man can do for his nation is simple: love his wife and guide his children. A strong family is the foundation of a strong country, and that all starts at home.

Life itself is on the line. We are no longer debating policies or political sides. One side believes life matters; the other denies it. One champions free speech, the other seeks to silence opposing voices. One side wants to protect our children, the other side seeks to disfigure them. This isn’t about ideology—it's about the soul of our nation. We must choose courage, humanity, and a future where every voice is heard and every life is valued. The struggle is real, and our answer will define who we are.
