Amazing Grace (He’s Alive): The Only Love Story That Matters

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus: A Father’s Prayer, A Son’s Reward

As a pastor’s kid, the hymn ‘I Have Decided to Follow Jesus’ was just a childhood memory. That is, until I heard Anthony Evans sing it. His version was a tribute to his late mother, and in that moment, God connected our stories. He was honoring his mother with a song, and I was honoring my father with a book. One son’s privilege, another son’s reward. This is the God who weaves our stories of loss into a shared song of purpose.

Ten Years: A Father’s Death, A Podcast, and The God Who Weaves Grief into Purpose

This journey became ‘The Palace Studio,’ a short fireside chat about finding peace in God’s presence, understanding our earthly ‘carrying case,’ and releasing our drivership to the Savior. It’s an invitation to find strength in Christ’s power, just as my Dad wrote in the margins of his Bible.
