Now that I’ve found this site, I can cancel all my preaching helps, Christian magazines and therapy sessions. Kidding aside, I consider Matt one of the brighter and more thoughtful Wunderkind of the Oklahoma Conference. Congratulations on your ordiantion, Matt!
Congratulations and blessings on your ordination!
Actually I stopped by to see if you’d reviewed Willimon’s new book on salvation, but I’m glad to see you’re up to even better things!
