Our team is working on a new parenting video project called It Starts at Home. Our aim is to equip parents with tools to disciple their kids. It’s tempting to outsource the spiritual development of our kids to the church. I love my church but I wouldn’t want to leave it totally up to them Continue Reading »
It’s really been an amazing 10 days. Last week our RightNow team put on the RightNow Conference for 3000 pastors.
