“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

When people think of missions, the images that usually come to mind are romanticized versions of what really takes place. Ministry is messy and missions even more so. Giving yourself wholly to the service of others always comes with perils. But now imagine a ministry that sees your family sacrificing for and growing close to people who end up shot or dead because of gang violence. That isn't o...

The Great Commission given by Jesus in the New Testament states: "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me, go therefore and make disciples of all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded.” Have you ever thought about what things would look like if we were successful in the Great Commissi...

The COVID lockdowns pulled back the curtain on every level of our society. We quickly found out who has the courage to stand on principle and who caved to the tyrannical forces of power.

It shapes our every action and...
