Today is the second day of my favorite conferences of the year! INJOY Stewardship Solutions has dispatched to attend the Orange and ReThink Leadership Conference in Atlanta, GA. This event contains the most relevant church leadership content I annually receive. It’s just an amazing conference!!
The morning’s next session was an interview with Reggie Joiner and Andy Stanley. If you missed Andy’s session from Orange this morning, click HERE.
