Title: Lean into him


Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV 

It’s tough not to lean on my understanding. If I’m honest with myself, most days I feel pretty good about what I understand. Why would I want to trust someone that I’ve never actually seen with my own two eyes anyway? Doesn’t that seem odd to you?


But the promise in Scripture is if I trust in God if I acknowledge Him as the Manager of my life and genuinely lean into Him for every decision I make today. Then He will make my paths straight and help me with all the difficult choices I need to make.


I’ve personally experienced this in my own life, so I know it’s true! It may seem completely “out there” and challenging to figure out, but you can trust God with every area of your life.

Real Men lean into Him with everything they’ve got!

Milo and his family currently live in North Carolina, where he is a staff Chaplain for MAG-14 at Cherry Point, NC. As a staff chaplain, he is responsible for the spiritual well-being of over 1200 marines and their families. He does this by participating in training events, deploying with the squadrons he covers, providing a constant presence of support and working with the command in facilitating general care and response in the face of family/unit emergencies.

Milo and Bethany have been in full-time ministry since 1999, and have enjoyed a wide variety of experiences and opportunities. In 2003, God brought Andrew into their lives, and in 2005 Olivia was the fourth addition to the family. Milo has stated repeatedly that God’s greatest tool in shaping his theology, philosophy of life and walk with Christ has been his family. Woodworking, riding his motorcycle, movies, camping, and time with his family are some of his favorite things to enjoy.
