Hello, family, Tyler here. I wanted to take a moment to invite you to Bridgetown's

8th annual Holy Spirit Conference, January 23rd and 24th at Portland's Keller Auditorium.

The theme of this year's conference is going to be the healing after the healing. We'll be exploring

how the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit

is often just the first step to the deeper, slower soul level healing. Like the man

born blind in John 9, each part of us God heals only exposes a deeper part of us awaiting

healing from the same God. And the deepest healing is often the slowest kind.

We're so excited to be joined by contributors like Ruth Haley Barton, Kurt Thompson, Ken Shigamatsu,

and Brooke Lichertwood. Tickets are available now at Bridgetown. Church slash Holy Spirit.

I hope you can join us.

Matthew 5 verse 48. Be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.

This is the word of the Lord.

Thanks, be to God.

Anyways, you can see, I've been there.

So Zach loses his patience on his daughter, Eden,

and then raises his voice in this outsized reaction.

But he's also a good father and a follower of Jesus,
