Insights from the Journey
I (Jim) started this blog in 2007 to share insights and tools for small group and disciple-making ministry. Then in 2017, God called me to leave pastoral ministry and raise my support to catalyze church planting among unreached people groups and to develop resources for the worldwide Disciple Making Movement.
If there is a question you want to ask, or a guest blog post you want to share, let us know, perhaps your own ponderings will make it into a future post.
