Before I flew out to a snowy Post Falls in February of 2013, I’m not quite sure I could have pointed out Idaho on a map. I grew up in the southeast and attended First Baptist Church of whatever town my family called home. From Tennessee to Mississippi to South Carolina…I had a specific understanding…
Recently I came across a quote that really stopped me in my tracks. Do you ever have one of those days? A day in which you read something and God allows it to expand your mind? It was not something new, but for some reason on that day it really impacted my life. This quote…

Not long ago I hugged my kids goodbye, stepped onto an airplane and into a faraway hotel to participate in five days of leadership training. It didn’t start there. Nine months earlier, I was invited to apply to a year-long leadership development opportunity. Not long after, I was selected from a pool of applicants to…
