At times in my life, there has been one song that has impacted me. Someone wrote the words that my heart had been singing. At high school graduation, it was Steven Curtis Chapman’s “Speechless.” In Japan, it was Vineyard UK’s “Hungry.” A year ago, Leeland’s “May Our Praise” was my daily anthem.

If you were like me, you were overwhelmed a couple of weeks ago with the amount of people saying “yes” to God’s call to address the needs of orphans in this world. What an honor to be a part of a movement of God like this! We had over 150 show up for an adoption interest meeting from our church …
North Side hosted its first Shepherding the Shepherd Conference this weekend. Jamie and his crew did a fantabulous job putting this event on! Friday night, we gathered all our shepherds for an appreciation dinner. Allen Levi entertained us, and Kickers cooked for it. Great night! Saturday morning, we had some shepherd development (for those not accustomed to North Side’s strategy, …
