How I Recruit New Team Members
Today begins a series to teach you how each of the Five Faders accomplishes the tasks in our to-do lists.
Can I Tag Along?
My nephew David made the ideal, last-minute case for our family picture the night before we moved to Costa Rica two and a half years ago.
Watching Isn't Playing
I had made it to eighth grade. My basketball career grew in spite of my culture shock from our transition from Costa Rica to San Antonio, Texas, about two years earlier.

One of your lids as a worship leader may be leading the same room over and over.
