Excerpt From The Interview

“One of the greatest hurdles that I’ve had in trying to implement Christian education in the local church is reminding people who’ve forgotten how to be a student that they are lifelong students. A lot of us get out of high school or college and we think that we’ve closed down that portion of our lives. But when you look at the most simple definition of what it means to be a disciple, it is to be a learner.”
