Nicholas Laven: I am a husband, dad of 5 and a pastor. I currently serve as pastor at Bethel Church in Battle Lake, MN. I love serving and encouraging others on our path to eternity. Life is filled with so many journeys, paths, and detours. With life always in high gear, I have found solace in writing. It is a chance to pause, reflect, and breathe. As life journeys forward, my heart wants to write, share, and encourage along the way in hopes that it not only helps me, but helps you in some way too.
