ALL IN 1 SAMUEL 13:16-14:23
by Howard Andersen on June 15th, 2025
Too many incredible opportunities have slipped through our fingers and each of us has our reasons. We often say, "This is too hard," "I lack the ability," or "This could never happen; it’s impossible."

I am convinced that if we were to ask all the people who know us—the ones closest to us—about our identity, we would receive a multitude of answers. The “you” at work, the “you” at home, the “you” as a parent, the “you” as a friend or partner. In many ways, these personas can be both similar and different at the same time. The frightening part is that t...  Read More
