Humility: The Churches Strength and Its Weakness

This last week I went through a humbling experience. It was brought to my attention by my mentor (and spiritual father…and pastor) that some of my antics on social media may have caused hurt to some close to me, as well as reminding me that as a pastor every action I take and every word […]

World War Infinity: The Generational Wars
