Some clarity from Acts 29.
I truly respect these cats and even though we disagree on some theological points I think they are by far the most compelling and successful church planting network that I know of.
These guys are so passionate about the gospel and missional living. Plus they do a lot to help “all” planters [...]

I was suppose to be in Orlando this week for the National New Church Conference. But I was not able to make it. Bailey had a school performance last night and I was not about to miss it.
Anyhow Jeff has been taking some great notes. I love how we get a chance to redeem technology. [...]

So my friends Ryan & Holly just released their new album: In Search of a Unified Theory.
These cats are way to talented and I can’t wait to to fully listen to their new album.
I will do a review soon. Of course I suck at music reviews. Usually my music reviews are, “I like it,” or [...]
