This Father’s Day weekend, view our new collection on Dads and Fatherhood. These articles seek to honor our earthly fathers while ultimately pointing us towards our Heavenly Father.
In case you missed it, last week we finished sharing our content from SOLA Conference 2021. This year’s conference theme was “Witness,” and we hoped to equip the local church to be a compelling witness despite our divisive and divided society and culture. All videos and transcripts are available to revisit for free on our website.
Our monthly newsletter is scheduled for next week. In case you missed it, read our latest edition and join for free to receive our most popular resources. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and Podcasts. If you have an article or link to share, reach me on Twitter or Instagram.
