In Pittsburg I was thrilled to have an audience member request a copy of the prayer I led people to pray after Beyond the Chariots if they wanted to invite the Lord into their lives. I sent him to the link on the right side of RichDrama.com called "My Passion" after telling the person the...

Our pastoral team had our small group meeting right down the street from an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition project. Paulie, one of the designers, took a moment with our pastors' kids: (left to right) Jesse, Anna and Rebekah.
