Rantings of a Jesus-loving, raving lunatic
Right now I’m in the middle of the Dare 2 Share Conference in Phoenix. The crowd is REALLY into it. One of the cool things about this conference is the venue. It is probably my favorite venue of all times. While it is not super big, it is ultra intimate and sleek. But a venue [...]
From time to time I get asked the question, “Do you see salvation as a process or a point in time?” My answer is always “YES!” I believe salvation is both.
