Bible Preaching

This is adapted from the ministry information packet we send to churches as we seek support. Since few read this, I wanted to share it on a broader stage. Those two words have been burned into my heart by the Bible, the Holy Spirit, and many of my elders. The

The Bruised Generation

Cary Schmidt wrote a wonderful piece about what many younger people have experienced within conservative Christianity: But this young man’s experiences were the polar opposite.
