Yesterday was my husband's 32nd birthday. We had a wonderful time celebrating.
I wish everyone could know Steven the way I do. He has always been passionate and full of vision for whatever task God has given him. I have seen him preach to a crowd of 20 middle school boys and crowds of thousands with the same passion and enthusiasm for Christ.
He has a vision for every thing he does. Whether it is for our church or our family, he seeks God and obeys with audacious faith. He is a great husband and an amazing father.
I have seen him handle difficult situations with the maturity and wisdom of a man twice his age. And I often wonder how in the world I ended up marrying such an incredible man of god. He is not perfect, but he practices what he preaches.
Happy Birthday Steven Furtick. I love you.
(We will resume our regular programing tomorrow with Monday Morning Commentary on Tuesday.)
Have a great Monday.
I am grateful beyond words for the wisdom and knowledge of Pastor Steven. I recently told myself that I was going to listen to every Elevation sermon. I started at the very beginining. You are so right! Even when there were a 120 people in the atrium of Providence High School, he spoke with boldness and audacity. It reminded me of how blessed I am to get to be a part of Elevation Church!

Happy Birthday Pastor Steven. I think about you guys every single day. You are right, no one knows Pastor like you do, and that's the way it is supposed to be. Best Friends from way before Elevation Church, when you got that chair you wanted in your bedroom on the side of the road and scrubbed it to death and put a cover on it. Look at you now. You have done life together from the very beginning, and I hope God continues to bless you for your obedience and the way you both willingly follow the calling He has placed on your life. I'm glad your beautiful family enjoyed Pastor's Birthday.

I believe you 100%. I so wish for Pastor to look in my daughter's eyes and tell her how great she is and going to be. When he delivers that fire, it is life changing. I try to relay the message but it kinda flies over her head. Her dad is not yet giving her that courage (we are not together) although he loves her. Ask Mr. Bob at Blakeney, my girl (almost 9) is amazing. She will be a future eKidz mentor, team member, something. Alex, with the beanie lifts her up as well. Love to you. Happy Birthday Pastor Steven Furtick. Now go talk to my daughter and see that fire in her eyes as well.

A belated but heartfelt Happy Birthday to Pastor Steven! I know that Satan looks back 32 years and each succeeding day with fear! Pastor Steven has such a powerful anointing and calling of God to change generations for Jesus! I thank God for his Godly influence in my life! I pray that our God would continue to bless, protect and prosper Pastor Steven and his house!
