This autobiographical essay and testimony was recently published in.

Waiting for the new arrival. So to provide a little balance in my posts, I wanted to share the following as our cast of characters will be adding a new bundle soon. But you were not and have never been, unloved. And in that instant my heart broke and has remained that way for years.

Two weeks ago I was talking to some people about different leadership styles in the church, and how leaders handle various situations differently.
