How Quietness Breaks Our Spirals

The practice of stillness and solitude in the presence of God is the basis of our strategy for interrupting all kinds of problematic thought patterns.

Building the Right Team

Do you want a full-time staff member to be working with you? Before receiving that gift, you must first learn the process by which you would need to lead that full-time staff.

The Momentum of Encouragement

We should be encouragers, not competitors. If we do, we may recapture the joy of serving Jesus amid brokenness.
