As some of you know, Tonya and I no longer work in the denomination in which we were raised. Back in 2001 we felt God leading us into a more contemporary, relevant environment and it all ended up with us starting LifePoint.

It's absolutely incredible. My college offered not-so-dramatic views of Dairy Queen.After a second week of classes and workshops, I'm ready to be a regular joe again.
