COT:
YHC spoke about his daughter and how, for a season, it felt like they were drifting apart — as she leaned more into her world of girl things like makeup and shopping, it became harder to find shared ground. But recently, he common bond in live music.

Her passion for concerts and music opened a door, and YHC made the intentional decision to walk through it — as it recently culminated in a Europe trip that centered around a music festival where her favorite artists were playing.

As leaders, fathers, brothers, we need to empower the passions of those around us. Sometimes we’re called to step into their world, to find that one shared thread and pull on it with love.

Intentionality means meeting them in their passions and pouring into them.

COT:
YHC walked through the story of Job, explaining how Job at first questioned God, cried out in pain, and wrestled deeply with what he didn’t understand. But through that struggle, he found a deeper peace with what God was doing — even without getting all the answers.
In the end, it wasn’t about getting his blessings back — it was about seeing God more clearly.
““My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.””” – Job 42:5″Encouraged the PAX to hold the line in their own seasons of testing, and to trust that sometimes the fire is what opens our eyes.
