Union with Christ.
“Give me all of you!!! I don’t want so much of your time, so much of your talents and money, and so much of your work. I want YOU!!! ALL OF YOU!! I have not come to torment or frustrate the natural man or woman, but to KILL IT! No half measures will do. I don’t want to only prune a branch here and a branch there; rather I want the whole tree out! Hand it over to me, the whole outfit, all of your desires, all of your wants and wishes and dreams. Turn them ALL over to me, give yourself to me and I will make of you a new self---in my image. Give me yourself and in exchange I will give you Myself. My will, shall become your will. My heart, shall become your heart.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.”
― C.S. Lewis

What a team. What a blessing our Fellows will have with this caring and intentional group of mentors. We were missing a few of our group, but they were with us in spirit! I love my job!

We’re ready to begin another year with session one of mentor training! Please pray for our wonderful group of dedicated mentors.

Getting ready for mentor training this month with the team! So grateful for these ladies giving me some time today to brainstorm on how to make the mentoring process more streamlined and beneficial for fellows and mentors! Thank you Laura Harrington and Nicole Hopper! It’s so encouraging to have alumni using their gifts to benefit our new class!
“Union with Christ is not some dusty relic of history or ivory tower pursuit. It takes us to the very heart of the gospel. It’s what makes the gospel good news. “ Union with Christ, Rankin Wilbourne
