Thank you, Jesus! 🙌

Our Men’s Retreat was absolutely incredible—God moved in powerful ways! Lives were touched, hearts were renewed, and His presence was undeniable. So grateful for all He has done and continues to do!

What a wonderful evening in Tennessee!
We were so honored to host the Ezra Institute and spend time with our dear friends Eric and Danielle Dill at their amazing new restaurant!
The food was incredible—thanks to Chef Brett Binninger-Schwartz, who has been featured on Hell’s Kitchen!

We can’t wait to do more ministry with the Ezra Institute at CWR!
Dr. Joe Boot just released a powerful new book, Thinking Christianity—a message our culture desperately needs right now. I highly encourage you to order it today!
