I had heard about it through friends from Kensington Community Church but couldn't really grasp the magnitude until I was there in person. At its core, Catalyst doesn't differ much in … [Read more...]

I just returned from a week long vacation at Portage Lake Covenant Bible Camp. It was a necessary separation from the real world to re-align myself and my priorities. One can quickly forget that taking a break can really inspire thoughts and more importantly…BLOG POSTS! There were so many things that raced through my head this week and it helped to have daily chapel time to confirm my thinking.
