What a night. ❄️💙 I had the privilege of taking part in the Covenant House Sleep Out, and I’m still reflecting on just how powerful the experience was. Spending one night outside is only a glimpse of what so many young people face every day — but it truly opens your eyes. What stood out most wasn’t just the cold, but the courage and hope of the young adults who shared their stories. Many faced homelessness at incredibly young ages, yet through Covenant House’s care, compassion, and programs, they’ve found safety, opportunity, and a path forward. Over the past seven years, Covenant House has been able to serve and support more than 600 youth — giving them stability, love, and the tools to rebuild their lives. Sadly, youth homelessness continues to rise, which makes this mission more important than ever. I’m also grateful to have been able to sponsor the event and use one of my Thrivent Action Teams to help fulfill Covenant House’s Christmas Wish List — purchasing new winter boots, socks, hats, gloves, and jackets for youth in need this season. The Covenant House team is doing incredible, faith-driven work — meeting people right where they are and helping them rediscover their worth and purpose. I’m so thankful to have witnessed firsthand the hope they bring to our community. If you’d like to join in supporting this life-changing mission, I’ve shared a donation link in the comments. The campaign is already 60% of the way to their goal, and donations will remain open through the end of the year — every bit helps bring warmth, hope, and a future to young adults who need it most. 🙏✨ #CovenantHouse #SleepOut #FaithInAction #ThriventActionTeam #EndYouthHomelessness #HopeLivesHere

What an amazing evening and night, hearing the stories of those who lived through it and seeing community really together. Goodnight y’all.

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend an Impact Meeting in Frankenmuth with fellow Michigan advisors — and, as always, these gatherings are so value-driven and inspiring. What stood out most this time was hearing how different individuals have grown and launched their practices — each story a reminder that perseverance and faith go hand in hand. I left feeling encouraged, not just by what I learned, but by the connections built with people who genuinely want to see one another succeed. The common message was clear: don’t quit. Keep doing the work that matters — because it’s work that truly changes lives. It’s generational work — helping families put things in place today that can impact their children and even their children’s children for the better. And on a personal note, it was nostalgic getting back to the Frankenmuth area — first time in nearly 25 years. I’ll definitely be bringing the family back with me sometime soon. I’m thankful for this amazing team, their support, and the shared commitment to serving others in a Christ-like manner. Feeling motivated and grateful to keep pushing forward in the work that makes a lasting difference. 🙏
