Who Made You Caleb?

So, Rachel recently had the toddler Sunday School class at church start doing curriculum as opposed to just playing.  We realized with Caleb that he actually can start learning and interacting, so we should start teaching the kids some at that age.  Currently they are learning about who made the world.

Catalyst Speakers – Day 1 (cont.)

Time to recap the rest of day 1 from the Catalyst Conference… Steven Furtick I’ve followed his blog for quite a while now.  The dude shares some amazing leadership insights there regularly and it has been fun to see their churches journey from a distance.  Oddly enough though, I didn’t have super high expectations for […]
