This is what the body of Christ should look like!
Bear with us while we take you to a little bit of church after Casey Dearyโs win last night.
We have had the pleasure of spending more time around Casey over the last couple of years than ever before, and one thing becomes true the more you know him. To know him is to respct him.
His kindness is real.
His character is steady.
His faith is not a costume he puts on for the public.
It is the foundation of who he is.
But there is always one topic that stirs up casual conversation any time Caseyโs name comes up, and that is faith.
The critics will say it is all a front.
The gossip hounds will whisper whatever keeps the comments interesting.
People are quick to judge, especially when a manโs success shines bright on a big stage - time and time again.
But let me tell you something as someone who has sat in his kitchen and watched the gospel be shared by Pastor Mike, his wife sing, and families come together - someone who has witnessed the prayers spoken over each other and over the horses, someone who has watched Casey offer light and encouragement to everyone around him the judgments fade fast when you see the truth for yourself.
This man is salt of the earth. The kind who gives the shirt off his back literally to a kid at a horse show. The kind who stops for every picture and greets every person like they matter. The kind who makes jokes, lifts spirits, and never misses a chance to give God all the glory.
Every win.
Every blessing.
Every opportunity.
He knows exactly where it comes from.
Scripture tells us that when we put God first the rewards will follow. โIf you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands all these blessings will come on you and accompany you.โ
That promise in Deuteronomy is not about perfection. It is about priority. It is about choosing Him first.
Casey lives that out daily.
Not perfectly.
Not pretending.
Just faithfully.
Always putting God first. Always showing up to minister to people others might walk right past.
Always being a friend.
Always being a disciple.
Always using the gifts God gave him to train horses at the highest level and turn that platform into a place where Jesus can be seen and heard.
Congrats Casey, Nicole, and the whole Deary team. Well deserved. And even more inspiring because we know the hearts of those holding the reins.
Well doneโฆ
