examining the model
Reclaiming the Mission :: The Weblog of David Fitch Blogger Len Hjalmarson said… “Proving to be examples to the flock..” This is the killer for me. I’ve known many busy pastors, and while they are often examples of a moral life they are not examples of a well-lived and missional life. They have [...]
