The Certainty of The New Year…
To say that 2020 was a bit of a surprise is probably one of the biggest understatements in the world. Nobody expected to spend the majority of the year at home.

I’ve also thought for a very long time that the people we send on global missions should beContinue reading “Missionary – Theologian”

A Mixed Bag…
The last month has been insane. Ministry has been busy, I’ve had seminary essays and an exam, and I’ve been trying to be a good husband in there too.
