Training Our Children to Love and Follow Christ

Last week, I had one of the scariest moments of my life. Nothing dangerous or extraordinary happened, but I had a moment of insight that shook me deeply.

Two Defining Characteristics of a Biblically-Minded Servant-Leader

At our School, our vision is to train up a generation of Biblically-minded servant-leaders who will lead the church and the culture toward righteousness.
