Anyone who knows my wife Brooklyn will know my answer to that.</p> <p>When I think of God’s love for me, I think of the outdoors. I grew up doing lots of hiking, camping, fishing, and backpacking in Yellowstone National Park, Teton National Park, and my favorite, Yosemite National Park. I have spent countless hours exploring the landscapes in these incredible parks, and in them, I see the love of a Father who created these incredible landscapes for us to enjoy, and I feel His desire to be close to us. It doesn’t take long in these spaces to understand the words of the Italian poet and author Dante Alighieri, “Nature is the art of God.”</p>
