You’ll find a collection of my earlier podcast episodes here — they’re older resources, along with my blog posts, but still full of encouragement and insight I hope you’ll enjoy.

Nehemiah 2:17 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” I believe many of us would agree that one of the...
