October 2023 Reflections

I’m very excited to teach Galatians 5-6 in November! The last time I taught Galatians I was blessed to be working with a team. But schedules required someone else teach the last two chapters. I have waited over 10 years to get my chance. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed learning it.

I hope you learn as much as I did.

2022 Reflections

I have a lot to be thankful for this year.
