Here is some fun for your weekend- Stuff Christians Like. This is a great website that Hasler introduced to me earlier this week.

I’ve known several men who’ve gone through the program and they highly recommend it. It’s somewhat similar to The River, which we’re [...]
ZoneGathering is the online community for the Leaders of National Community Church. Be warned, this blog contains encouragement and training for the purpose of being and making disciples—along with wacky ideas and just plain random stuff—none of which are necessarily official stances of NCC.
