For my fellow “poppa daddies” I wanted to make available a free PDF copy of my new book Pastor Dad. It’s a short book, based upon a sermon I preached some years ago, that I hope is of benefit to dads and the children God has entrusted to their care. It includes some stories about [...]

Our relationship with Logos Bible Software continues to develop, and they have recently added a new feature to their website which will give all Mars Hill attendees 25 percent off on their base products.
