I was a teenager when I first heard Tony Campolo preach. Since then I’ve read some of his work, listened to more sermons, and observed someone who lived out the joy of the Kingdom of God. There were the struggles as well. He didn’t hide the struggle of his son walking away from the Christian faith. His love for his son never quit.

News of Tony’s passing reached the world yesterday. I will miss that contagious joy.

I want that joy for the “least of these” to be infectious in me.
