This blog is designed to give people an inner look at a devotional life. Taking a pause to spend time with the Lord. The hope is if you travel on this journey with Rev. Jacob Shaw, as a result, you may be more inclined to spend time with the Lord on your own as well. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment or question, as long as it is offered in respect and humility.

Evangelism Tip 2  What The Text Brought To Mind: When Chan opens this chapter with his memory of celebrating Australia Day at a rock concert and then articulating the opportunity that engaging in their friend’s event gave them for evangelism reminded me of some of my days in seminary.
