Why We Continue To Send Out Our Very Best Leaders
[ytp_video source=”lvSauTdYlOI”] As pastors over the past few decades, we have seen a lot of really great leaders come and go.

Ministry Highlight: Trinity Party Trailer Squad
I didn’t grow up on the Gulf Coast, and I certainly didn’t grow up with an appreciation for the devastation a hurricane can bring to millions of lives. Over the past 20 years, I have experienced tropical storm Allison (2001), Hurricane Rita (2005), and Hurricane Ike (2008). Each of these storms left its mark on […]
