7 months…

During Launch back in January, and even during training camp for the World Race, we were told always be ready for change.

“Change is a form of loss, whether good or bad.”

Our team sat down the other night to be informed that a change would be happening…

Carl would be leaving us and joining another team.


I didn’t realize that information would affect me the way it did, but I had an instant sadness.

I’ve spent almost every day with Carl for the past 7 months, and you don’t really grasp, until moments like this, that people have become like family to you.


Carl makes me laugh- with a witty sense of humor, and his use of various accents, I will miss the ways he imitates the various versions of Lindsey’s laugh.

Carl makes me think- It’s amazing to watch Carl read Scripture. The way his mind works, so creative and so questioning, he pulls me into a deeper relationship with God’s Word. No matter what questions he wrestles through though, at the end of the day he simply stands in awe inspired worship of who God is, and invites others to do the same.


Carl has been there to embrace me in a brotherly hug when I’ve broken down crying, and he’s been there to express he was proud during moments of ministry when I stepped out to be used by God.

To Kathy Wilson- you raised one great boy, who has become a godly man, so thank you for sharing your son with us.


Carl is one of the first men in my life whom I’ve been vulnerable with in discussing hurts of the past, and the sins that have brought me to where I am. He listened, and encouraged, and loved me without judgment.

God has used him to redeem the role of men in my life.

So this week we will say goodbye to Carl as far as being apart of our team, and while I feel a little sadness in my own personal loss…

 I am excited to see him as he transitions onto team Powerhouse and enters into a new season of the World Race.

I believe in how great Carl is, and see the value he has in community. I’m excited to share him.

God is also blessing us…

Meet Daniel Stinson

Danny is joining our team this coming week.

I had the honor of working with Danny’s team in Kenya, and after seeing Danny’s heart in action- I’m eager to work and serve alongside of him.


The first thing I noticed when I met Danny was that the world seemed to melt away when he was in the presence of God. He is unafraid to pour his heart out and be vulnerable- encouraging a “no fear of man” mentality in those around him.


He is also a dancin’ fool- a testament to his enjoyment of life and exceptionally fun spirit.


I ask for your prayers as this transition happens- for both Carl and Danny.

I feel so privileged to be learning from men that are chasing after Jesus with their whole lives.

7 months…

…and I am now used to the World Race throwing change my way…

So here is to embracing and engaging, the beginning of a new adventure.
