I don’t remember having even one conversation with my mom before she died in 2002 Read more…
I’ve had the rich blessing of calling Jackson home now for the last 15 months. And while sometimes I feel like we’re just getting started here (and we are,) I suspect by now you know me well enough to have some sense that I’m more drawn to micro-level discipleship than I’m drawn to the macro.

Romans 12 Place Your Life Before God So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering.
