Our 8lb 3oz valentine arrived on Tuesday night, February 10th, with a full head of dark hair…and we’ll never be the same! We love our girl so much already and thank Jesus for her! 🤍
Yearly photo dump of my beautiful wife on her birthday! Every year is more adventure with you ❤️ You make life simple and pure in all the best ways. I can’t wait to welcome our baby girl and be parents together forever!!! 🐣
What an incredible trip to Nairobi, Kenya! I don’t have nearly enough pictures or a caption that would accurately capture the impact of our time in Africa.
Favorite Moments:
🗽 Running around NYC during a layover
⚽️ Work projects and football ministry with @vaporministries
🎟️ Serving at Carnival alongside Nairobi Lighthouse team
⛪️ Powerful Sunday services! I’d pay a large weekly subscription fee to be in @nlcofficial worship every week.
🔥 @axis_students meets @club812official
🍛 Haandi
💪🏻 Devos, dinners, debriefs, bus rides, early mornings, late nights, and everything in between with this awesome team of axis students and leaders!
🎤 Preaching to brothers in West Nairobi Prison. God forgives.
❤️ Youth service at Kabate juvenile prison. God redeems.
🪽 Spending time at Wings of Compassion, young mothers home. God restores.
Total rehab home, Goat roast, safari, and much much more. I can’t believe I get to do this! Just want to do as much as I can with what I’ve been given.

#AnythingIsPossible #Axis2025
My journey began with this place 20 years ago when the Life Church moved in to the shopping center on Germantown Pkwy. I literally grew up in this church building…As a kid, as a student and then stepped into the opportunity of my life as a leader in 2019.
The last five years leading Axis at GTP have been so rich. There’s too many special people and moments to begin to mention. I’m forever grateful for this place and these people during this season. With the location closing and the church joining in at our other amazing locations… I cannot wait to see what God does next through @thelifechurchmemphis and @axis_students and I’m so humbled to be a part of it.
1- Psalm 92:12-14 💒
2- Met my wife in a nursery class room. She was clearly digging the maracas 🪇🔥
3- Last Axis Conference as a student, Blue team finally got the tribal wars W 🌊
4- Axis Conference 2024 GTP Family photo 🖤
5- Posted up with some Sunday crew! 🫡
6- So thankful for all of the Axis GTP leaders! Such a faithful team. 🧱🛠️
7- One thing I love about Axis is students take ownership of their church. Set up crew was always dominating. 📣❤️🔥
8- One thing I will never take for granted: preaching the word of God 📖
9- Wide Open Team Night was a special night celebrating all the years and looking ahead! Love these men right here 😤
10- My first campus pastor @johnnylhill preaching (and probably singing too) at Axis… Shoutout to pastors @jameskanadet and @howelljon These men taught me so much!
What an impactful week on mission in South Africa! 🇿🇦
So thankful for this opportunity to serve God, serve people and build the Church in AFRICA 🌍 @thelifechurchsa@axisyouthsa
Such an amazing team of leaders, so proud of each of them. ❤️
@ricovferreira is HIM!!
I love doing this with my wife and best friend @annavanblaricom
Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go…”
WHAT A WEEK!! OVERFLOW!!! So humbled and grateful.
Axis team- this is an unstoppable group of leaders!!! It’s such a blessing to work alongside you guys. Thankful. Let’s dominate this Fall! Caleb we felt the difference of your presence this week, worship was another level! Chris I don’t have words for you man, you are a straight dog. Creative mastermind, hardest worker, the best guy to be around and work with, no chance conference happens without you. Don, Elihu, Evan - my brothers! Y’all crushed it this week, I’m inspired by you.
Thank you Pastor John and Parker for vision and hands-on leadership. Thank you for trusting me to lead!
GTP Axis family- I love you all. I believe God wants to do something special in this next season.
My wife- I am proud of you, I’m so in love with you and I’m in awe of you. She poured her whole heart into this week as always, but shifted into another gear. Anna did not carry any less weight than every other year, but also took on the significant weight of preaching Wednesday night. She did more than just preach. She ushered us into a miraculous, indescribable moment. I watched her for weeks every morning and late night… studying, writing, praying, practicing. I can’t believe I married you and get to serve with you. ♥️
