“Reflections” happen on Sundays and special occasions. They’re shorter than what we do Monday through Saturday when we spend about 20 minutes a day and get through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 14 months.
Oh, and we do this together — with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people, and living out the love of Jesus better every single day.

…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world.
