Perspectives from Bobby, May 2019

When we talk about longing for revival or seeing campuses renewed or seeking signs of shalom, we are praying the big, resurrection-aware, your-kingdom-come prayer that Jesus taught us.

Something happens beyond expectations. Read more about Karen Guzman's lunch with women faculty in Colorado.
