A while ago I promised on our Twitter feed to feature our 500th follower here. Lo and behold, we’re now over 600 followers, and I am only just getting around to it.

He divides his ministry into three “seasons”: The “naive engagement” of his first pastorate, where he immersed himself in small-town culture: For eight years I made inadvertent “faith and work” visits.

He writes: Cheryl Broetje told us about the Broetje Orchards, founded and operated by her and her... Read more
