Changing the Tone
As the Church, we all need to change the tone, the tenor, of our conversation. From Duck Dynasty, Chik-Fil-A, supposed wars on Christmas and the like… we have to change the conversation. Strike that.

Discipling Young Believers
One of the greatest privileges in the world is to be used by God to help lead someone into a life-changing relationship with Jesus.
