Going Deep: Day 1

Going Deep: Day 1

I don’t know when I started these 40 Day things. I think clear back as a youth pastor in the 80s I discovered that teens could make a commitment or hold on to a focus for about 7 weeks. After that, I lost them. Heck, after 7 weeks I lost me. When I was a pastor… Continue Reading
