Sometimes following Jesus takes us in unexpected directions. Nathan is going through just such a transition in his life and ministry. Even just a few months ago these changes were not on his horizon. We hope the journey God is guiding him on can be a help to others.

Ephesians 5:15-17 says: "15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."
Thomas shares some encouragement from his study in Ephesians. In wicked times it is imperative that God's people live carefully in the wisdom that comes from above.
We say all kinds of stuff that didn't come out right, was goofy, or just wasn't what we meant to say. All that stuff gets cut. Here, for your listening pleasure, are a few times we misspoke, got distracted, or otherwise said silly things.

Fall is a busy time for most churches and families. Back to school, regular programs and events, ramp up to the holidays and more create a hectic time after the summer.
Unfortunately, we can sometimes hold on to our summertime habits long after we should have made the transition back into the swing of things. We have a couple of ideas that might help with that Fall reset.
