Hey Will! Thanks for the update! You've been coming to mind lately (when I've been distant) so you've been in my prayers! Even though you don't know me, I've felt like you're my brother, and there's more truth to that than not in Christ.
It's so good to hear you're still dialing in on the noble things. I want to share with you two ideas that have changed my life, which your writing reminded me of.
The first is something Nic Gonzales (Salvador band member and worship leader who literally brings the presence of God with him) quoted his parents telling him: "Don't honor and glorify God first; honor and glorify God only."
The second is something I heard from the Holy Spirit and slowly over the years have grown to understand its significance: Pray God's will over your life. You don't have to know what His will is to pray for it and to know that it's perfect. If there's a magic prayer, I think that's it.
Thanks for being so cool where it counts! God bless! 🤙
Thanks for the update, Will, and I will continue supporting you in the fight for what’s right. I love you, brother, and may God continue to guide you, lead you, teach you & lead you!

P.S. i mentioned my location because it was you who FIRST put the idea in my head to move here, from a comment you once made on the “Will & Amala” show. God literally used your voice to guide me here & it was the greatest decision of my life. Only 2 years ago I was addicted to using heroin & fentanyl on a daily basis basis for many years. Now I’m clean & sober (for nearly 2 yrs), active in recovery & in my community and striving to glorify God by my life every day.
Thank you for playing a small part (of which you can’t imagine how profoundly) in helping me begin my journey.
I enjoyed your essay so much. It is good to think deeply about life and who and what you serve as you live each 24 hours. I noticed early on that you care deeply about your faith in Christ and serving Him well with the time and talents He is giving you and has given you! The idea about the first 2 rows at your funeral is meaningful to me as a retired teacher in my 70’s. 😊
After I read that it occurred to me that I might narrow it down even more. I would encourage you to live for Christ with all your heart, seeking to please Him first. In doing that you will be serving those first two rows best! May our good and faithful Father God continue to poor wisdom beyond your years into your heart and bless you in every way!
Yes yes yes! That thing about BREAKING and sensationalism has annoyed me as well, so much so that I avoid those announcements now. Most times found there was really not a whole lot of news therein anyway.
Ephesians 12:13 “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.” Love this verse, because it always gives me focus. Praying for you, Will! God is with you in whatever He leads you to do.
Wonderful to hear from you again and to see how the Lord is working! You are blessed to have JE in your life....
What does God require of us and how do we obey that calling? The gospel has to be the driving force of all we do and rely upon. Only He can change the heart of man. Praying for God to grant you a platform to speak much about Him. That doesn't mean we don't address what is evil, it is just that our hope for change comes from Him alone.
I agree with your message Will. It used to be my dream to become a conservative commentator like you were on PragerU. I was heavily interested in politics and passionate about the conservative movement. Then I started to see how toxic the constant push of shocking information is for people and for the unity of our country. I lost faith in the conservative movement and I started to see pundits not as “warriors for truth” but more as “talking heads”. I still care about politics and I think the way government and culture affect our lives is important. However, there must be a better way to make the world a better place than being a pundit whose job it is to react to shocking stories for clicks.
So good to hear from you Will! Thanks for the update! I’m so glad everything is going well in Tampa for you. Keep up the good fight! ☺️ I’ll be praying for you!
This is so awesome! Thank you for your transparency and reminder to look up from the phone to the ppl around me! Thankful that His mercies are new every morning!
I appreciate that you’re trying to be more purposeful in what you’re doing and not just look for the next breaking story to boost your views. Keep it up!
I was JUST googling you recently to see what you've been up to! Happy to hear you're still using your God-given talent and inspiration to voice your opinion and to represent both the Kingdom and conservatism. I have always enjoyed getting to hear your thoughts and to see what holding your ground looks like as a believer. Can't wait to see more from you soon!
I like your mature insights and I’m sure that you must be more relaxed with this current state than the former manic pursuit of viral clicks. Cheers to you
Every time you are at a crossroad, you make wise choices. And it seems so evident that conviction and truth guide you… this is very encouraging to those of us who pray that you can stand firm in our political area that changes men who start with good intentions into corrupt men who are bought and sold by the highest bidder.
You remind me of Rudyard Kipling’s poem IF. I’ll only quote one stanza. Our family continues to pray for you.
Thanks for the update Will! I appreciate this whole message. The phrase from your pastor, wow! That will stick with me for a long time.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
