I just want to be known for being a representation of what God has done. It’s really about sharing that love that God has for me. Marriage is great. My wife Annie and I both love marriage. She gets to come out on the road with me, which is a blessing, and makes it even better.

One of the things we realized very quickly, whether we wanted to or not, is that marriage is all about having a servant’s posture. What I mean by that is, every day is a new opportunity to serve the other person. You just have to have that mindset and you hope and pray that the other person is also on the same page. It’s all about, “How can I meet your needs in this area, or that area?” As a man of the house, I need to make sure that I’m not only taking care of myself, but I’m taking care of another person as well. Then when we have kids, we’re taking care of them as well. That’s a crazy thing to think about!

People are human and they’re going to make mistakes. When your identity is not in another person or when we upset each other, it’s so much easier to love the person for who they are—so much easier. My wife is amazing. But when you put your identity in Christ, it’s so much easier to live life to the fullest, to love people where they are and to take things as they come with a Christ-like mentality.
