Making Summer Camps Important
Why should our churches prioritize summer camps? I know from personal experience that summer camps are transformative. At the age of 10, God met with me at a boys and girls camp in eastern Michigan. One Wednesday evening, I opened my life to God’s direction as I responded to the invitation to receive Christ as […]

Reflections about Discipleship after Attending the Exponential Conference
A large gathering at a large church campus with large production value has the potential to leave some attendees with feelings of inadequacy. The temptation to begin the comparison game is real.

Nazarene Camping
