A little reflection on my time in SBS.
How SBS saved my life: Is this too strong of a statement? Or is it the truth of what happens to your life when you are actively in the word of God? I always use to say, “I would never do an SBS, unless God made it extremely clear, there is no way!” Last spring […]
