52: Practicing Proverbs: JJ Lynch - Old Soul, Steady Faith


Listen Later

Happy Birthday, JJ Lynch!

My cousin, JJ Lynch turns 18 the day this episode airs — and honestly, he’s one of the wisest “young adults” I know. He’s a coach’s kid and the oldest of six, which explains a lot about his servant heart. JJ’s an old soul who loves deep talks, random t-shirts, and tennis, but more than anything, he loves Jesus. His life reflects a maturity that can only come from walking closely with the Lord — humble, funny, thoughtful, and grounded beyond his years. This conversation captures all of that and more as we celebrate JJ stepping into adulthood with a heart that’s already anchored in wisdom.

Memorable quotes (from JJ):
  • “Pain accompanies growth; comfort isn’t where the learning happens."
  • “Life is simply an opportunity to get to know God.”
  • Highlights to listen for:
    • The Danny effect: joy, advocacy, and real-time lessons in unconditional love
    • Hattie’s Type 1 diagnosis and gratitude for health
    • “Control what you can control” — the family maxim that keeps him grounded
    • A coach’s-kid tip for new schools: introduce yourself first and break the awkward
    • Fruits of the Spirit as a mirror for growth (Galatians 5)
    • Humility vs. approval: the Litany of Humility and living for an Audience of One

    • Soli Deo Gloria.
