**Martin Life Update** After 14 years in Ashland, OH., we will be moving to Bloomington, IN at the end of October! I will be stepping into a Pastor-In-Residence role at Redeemer Community Church, which will accompany my full time role at Harbor Network. From A Town to B Town!

When I think about the things that have damaged relationships over the years, “making assumptions” are near the top of the list. Be lovingly curious Be respectfully inquisitive Be someone who seeks to understand Avoid emotionally-driven speculation For the love—ask!

Big announcement: I am joining the Harbor Network team full time on July 1. After much prayer & council, @missymrtn & I have sensed the Lord’s calling, & are excited to begin this new work! Our last Sunday at Substance Church is June 2nd. Much gratitude & bittersweetness. ♥️

My guy @ronniejmartin graduated from @MBTS with his D.Min. We celebrated this afternoon by wandering around the Plaza, looking at nice things and telling everybody to give him free stuff because “it’s his special day.”

Arrived home from the @TGC Conference w/ a full heart. It was @missymrtn’s prayer that we could be an encouragement to others & be encouraged by others. We know the latter definitely happened. Thx to @TheCarolinaDon @Jonathan_Dodson @jwritebol @HarborNetwork_ @BHpub #TGC23

Loved our time in the PNW with all these folks!
A ministry of encouragement reflects God’s heart, which is why ministry leaders from 11 different churches met in Hillsboro, Oregon for our latest Renewal Gathering yesterday.

Hands down, Jane Eyre—it’s a comfort re-read for me. Usually in the fall or winter.

Here’s the thing—it feels early to us, too. But back home this is traditionally triple digit inferno season. Try this: imagine you go on a Caribbean vaca in February. Doesn’t it make it a teeny bit more amazing knowing it’s sleeting back home? It’s kind of like that.

Big Sur mistiness from yesterday. There’s a waterfall in the second one, if you look closely. This is almost otherworldly beauty, isn’t it?
