There are some lessons you can’t teach from a classroom. You have to teach them sitting on a porch before sunrise, walking down a trail, or casting a fishing line into a quiet pond while the rest of the world is still asleep. One of my favorite things about KOZ is introducing boys to the

It’s amazing how often God teaches us life’s biggest lessons through ordinary moments. For me, it happened while mowing. After being gone for several days, I came home to grass that had exploded from all the rain we’ve been getting here in Texas. I spent hours on the zero-turn mower in the heat and dust.

Every morning, Hinge, my dog, and I take a walk. We’ve been doing it for nearly five years now and it’s become one of my favorite parts of the day. It’s a chance to spend some quiet time with the Lord before life gets busy. Most mornings are pretty routine, but one walk this week
