I am so proud to be teamed up with Steven Furtick raising these three kids. For Father’s Day I interviewed our boys and then created a book for my husband with pictures and their answers. Their answers were too good not to share…

That is great! My favorite part is Elijah’s answer to the question, “What is your favorite thing about daddy?”. That is a great testament to Pastor Furtick’s character.

This is the greatest idea to date. Very touching, relective, and has to make you proud of your wife and kids. Your wife made a real effort to touch you through you kids and give you honor. Now, when do you beated up bad people and which kid saw you do it???? lol Priceless.

I just have to say that you and your husband and Elevation have been a tremendous blessing to me and my family during this time of transition. We just moved and have had so many questions and uncertainties. Being able to tune into the podcasts and continue to be fed while we don’t yet have a church home has been priceless. Your family is so beautiful. I just love this. Thank you both for all you do… your sacrifice does not go unnoticed.
Posted By: Karen Stott | June 21st, 2012 at 6:13 pm
You guys are an awesome blessing and example!

So loved this idea when Pastor showed it at church. I’m going to tweak and use for Christmas presents for all the grandparents. They are going to LOVE it. Thanks for the inspiration. I enjoy digital scrapebooking so this will work fantastic together to make a special gift.
