How God Used Re:generation To Change My Church
Follow in Jesus’ footsteps A few years ago, the church I helped to start, and pastor for twenty-one years, was full of people struggling to keep themselves together. I was no exception. All of us were scraping by, feeling defeated, drowning in discouragement, and seemingly broken beyond repair. Many of us had shattered our lives and thrown away our dreams.
