    I’ve spent the last two weeks offline, mostly visiting my wife’s family in India. On February 13th, I had the privilege of sharing briefly at a small church in Kollam, India. I originally planned to talk about Fatherhood in the Lord’s Prayer in turned into a fairly concise summary of…

  • Transformational Husbandry
