I hear the trumpet and I am rallying. This semester has been a lot of intentional work investing in the men on our campuses. In January I took on a group of Slippery Rock guys who are leaders in the movement there because they were starving for someone to pour into them; the two week book study has turned into one of the things in my week that I most look forward to. |
