So, we had a great time wrapping up Signs from Beyond…our series on discovering God's will. The final message was a live q and a I did at all campuses. People texted their questions in, and we had an awesome response! So good in fact, that we had way more questions than time to answer

Sounds like bad news (I'd rather be watching the Superbowl), but it ain't all bad. So much to be thankful for! Here's what's on my mind in these pre-Superbowl moments: Our staff did
