We are very careful to share resources that come from reputable sources. While we are grateful for the grace that God give through these authors, we hold one author above all others, Jesus Christ. We are always lead by Scripture. Therefore that means that we do not by default 100% agree with everything these authors write. What they share is helpful for us to think further think about how we apply what Scripture says. If you want to discuss anything about what you find here, you are welcome to email or call us. You’ll find our contact information at the bottom of this page.
