Jonathan Pitts is an author, speaker, and Executive Pastor at Church of the City in Franklin, TN. Prior to pastoring, Jonathan was Executive Director at The Urban Alternative, the national ministry of Dr. Tony Evans in Dallas, TX. Jonathan resides in Nashville, TN with his four daughters. In this special episode, we pause to remember and honor Jonathan’s wife, Wynter Pitts, that went home to Jesus far too soon. Wynter brought so much to the world with her ministry and magazine, For Girls Like You. We want to learn from her incredible life and legacy as a mom, mentor, wife and follower of Christ.

Please listen to the end – it’s my very favorite part. He does JUST WHAT WYNTER ALWAYS DID! He has a way of drawing us back to our unique calling from God. Just like Wynter, he reminds us that we are made for our girls. And they have a unique and big purpose from God. She would be so so proud of this conversation. In fact, I know she was right there with us. We felt it.

Wynter, my precious friend, what an amazing privilege to call you a friend. And to get to spend time with you. I will treasure every conversation and every giggle fest we had. Thank you for the tangible, written legacy you’ve left us all in your work. And most importantly, the four walking examples of your life in your girls. As I’ve promised you, I will spend my lifetime loving on your girls. I can’t wait to hug you again. – Court

    Please pass this email to Pastor Jonathan Pitts,
    I was on YouTube searching for any word from God for encouragement and hope. I bumped into a video clip which featured a panel which included pastor Tony Evans discussing issues about losing a loved one. You and your late wife were mentioned and when they showed your family photo and your 4 young girls, my heart was so touched: I also lost my beautiful young friend and wife to cancer- left with a boy and two young girls . My inner being strongly identified with situation.
    My wife, Gracious, died in July, 2018; having been married to me for only 15 years. She was such a vibrant, warm, gorgeous wife; friend and mother; full of prayer, word of God, and kind hearted. We hoped to pull through her sickness and continue raising up our children together in the fear of the Lord and service to Him.
    Desiring to learn more about your family story, I found another YouTube video clip recorded in May, 2018 for a family tv chat show which featured you and your precious late wife Wynter. May I mention that I was very encouraged and humbled, to say the least, watching your video to learn I was not the only one experiencing the pain. Since my wife died, I have had a rollercoaster of emotions; sometimes felt deep disappointment and failure. I also remember feeling so hurt and a sense of betrayal when my wife died before my eyes. Dropped to my knees, buried my face over her lifeless body and wept aloud bitterly, my children joining in.
    Your testimony showcased the love of God even during tragedy and storms we do not understand. It has been a difficult period but the holy presence of God and His faithfulness is so real and reassuring.
    If possible, I would appreciate to connect with you more.
    Thank you and God bless you
    Stan
