I recorded this on a Sunday morning, December 7, 2025, standing outside Oak Grove Baptist Church. Here's what I said and why it matters to me.
"No matter what's going on in life, it's important on Sunday mornings that you get to church."
You don't have to stay stuck
"You don't want to stay stuck in the same rut every day and not have a place that you can go to and cast those burdens that we carry off. Here at church, you can."
That's the whole point. Everybody carries something. Church is the place you set it down.
It was hard to be vulnerable
I'll be honest with you. I've been through some hard things. "As a man that's gone through some of the treacherous, torturous, evil things that I've gone through," it was not easy.
"It was hard to come into a church and be vulnerable with God. And be vulnerable with the church family."
Broken, just like you
Here's what changed it for me. When you walk in, you find out you're not the only one hurting. There are "other people that are broken and bruised and beat down by life, just like you, just like me."
"But we're all here to seek out God."
When you see other people being vulnerable, and you let yourself be vulnerable too, "it does something for your spirit. It does something for your heart and it gets you back right with God."
So go. If one church doesn't fit, "go somewhere different. Try somewhere new." And if you're near me, "come over here to Oak Grove Baptist Church. I guarantee we have a spot for you."
