@nathanrhale a wonderful tribute. He was a mentor from a far of mine to. In recent years I have especially been inspired by his posture to critiques: secular and fundamentalists.
@nathanrhale indeed. Keller was a mentor in much the same way. His writing on church planting, in particular, has been significant for me.
@ChrisJWilson Thank you for your kind words - and thank you for posting your own reflection as well. I was grateful to hear more of your story.
@danielmrose His book Center Church has helped me, eventhough I might approach some things from a different angle.
@nathanrhale for sure!
