and renewed enthusiasm. I love doing what I do—I love writing Bible studies—and this new avenue of ministry has
turbocharged my preaching and my
writing. I have a brand new perspective on what it means to be
a follower of Jesus; I think the evangelical church is waking up to this as
well. My focus these days is on this type of emerging
discipleship."
