At the end of 2022, whilst on summer vacation here in Australia, I was writing out my goals for 2023. This year, I was looking to take positive steps primarily in relation to my connection with God. I was looking to form a stronger communion with the Lord but wasn’t sure where or how to start. I asked God to send me a sign, to put something in my path that would bring me in closer communion with Him. 

A few days before day 90 ended, I asked my wife what was the toughest part of Exodus 90 was for her. She looked at me and said it was a blessing to our family.

Matt did Exodus 90 a year ago or so. I wasn’t so sure at first how this would affect our family life.

It was six years ago, almost to the day, that I left the seminary and drove home to Zionsville, Indiana.

“There is no status quo in the spiritual or moral life. There is either progress or regression. We are always moving (either) backwards or forwards.”

As a child, I was molested and at an early age when my family fell apart through divorce, I was exposed to pornography. For the next 25 years, pornography and every kind of impurity plagued my life.

This is the second year to take the Exodus journey, this year I wanted to grow in prayer and be more loving in my family.

I have done Exodus three times in as many years and I hold that this is the kind of movement that will form the saints of our time. Going into my freshman year at NC State, God was acquainting me with suffering.
