Meet the guy who writes the emails ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

Hey friend! ๐Ÿ‘‹ 

This newsletter isnโ€™t about us, but we think itโ€™s helpful for you to know whoโ€™s behind this thing. Iโ€™ll start.

Iโ€™m Kieran Lenahan ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿฝ

Some fun facts..

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Born in the USA, New Jersey to be specific. Iโ€™m half Irish and half Filipino ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ 

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฐ Iโ€™ve been married to my best friend Dana for 8 years!

  • ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Iโ€™m a dad to Christopher who is my MAIN man (we adopted him out of foster care - the pic below is from adoption day!), Cali who has my entire heart, Judah (our newest little guy)โ€ฆ& weโ€™re expecting our 4th in April 2025!

  • ๐Ÿ€โ›ณ๏ธ I love sports, having fun and stewarding my body. Basketball, pickleball & CrossFit are my favorites right now.

  • ๐Ÿš€ Iโ€™m an entrepreneur and creator at heart. I love launching & building things. In addition to working on Malachi Daily, I run businesses like BetterLetter, the Table Network, and a course Dana built for women who arenโ€™t pregnant yet but know they want to be one day.

  • ๐Ÿ“š I published a childrenโ€™s book 2 years ago to raise money for foster children

  • ๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m not stand-up-comedian-funny, but I make clever comments in conversations that only one person hears and laughs at. Strongly considering starting a comedy Instagram account to verify this.

My faith..

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ I gave my life to Jesus a month before getting married in 2016 and have been pursuing Jesus since.

  • ๐ŸŽค Iโ€™m forever grateful to Tim Keller for sharing the gospel so clearly. His preaching was the first time I was ever presented with the gospel.

  • โœ๏ธ I believe everything that every human longs for - to be loved, worthy, safe, secure and significant - is found in Jesus.

  • ๐Ÿ“• One of the ways God speaks to us is through Scripture. Iโ€™ve become a curious student of Godโ€™s Word and desire deeply to help Jesus followers understand and internalize it (hence, this newsletter).

๐Ÿ“‰ Since starting my walk with Jesus, Iโ€™ve been through valleys:

  • Grieving the death of one of my closest friends

  • The pain of a miscarriage

  • Extended periods of seeking Godโ€™s guidance & struggling to hear his voice

โ›ฐ๏ธ And Iโ€™ve experienced mountaintop moments:

  • The joy of adopting our son, Christopher and seeing our daughter Cali be born

  • The unmistakable ways God has provided financially for our family

  • The millions of prayers we have prayed (and not prayed) that God has answered

๐ŸŽฏ Through it all, Iโ€™m doing my best to organize my life around 3 goals:

  1. Be with Jesus

  2. Become like Jesus

  3. Do what Jesus did

And my hope is that this newsletter helps you do those 3 things.

Much love,

Kieran โœŒ๏ธ 

p.s. Enough about me. Iโ€™d love to hear from you. Hit reply and tell me about yourself!
