Summary

SummaryI’ve spent nearly four decades in ministry and thought I had balanced healthy rhythms, but when my aortic valve started leaking and I anticipated a second open-heart surgery, I felt anxiety rise. I booked a silent retreat at Estus, journaling alone in a meadow. Suddenly, a bull elk emerged and bugled its heart outβ€”at that moment, I sensed God’s voice saying: β€œDo you believe what you preach?” πŸ¦ŒπŸ™β€οΈ That encounter reminded me not to worry but to trust God’s provision, just as Jesus taught about the birds of the air (Matthew 6:26). Ever since, I keep a photo of that elk as a reminder of His faithfulness, no matter what I face.

With four decades of ministry in the rearview mirror, Bryan attended a Harbor Ministry event, just to be supportive. What God had planned though, was something different.
