Mitchell Dean has grown plenty in his relationship with the Lord from his days as a hotheaded athlete with a 1.9 GPA. This week, Mitchell shares what he’s learned as a husband, father of six, and pastor of Resurrect Church in Opelika, Alabama—including persistently digging into the Bible, showing empathy as a father and husband, and managing the many distractions of modern life. He also draws lessons from 2 Timothy on trusting God to guide us through hardship.
