This week, interns took two days to go over orientation and spent the rest of the week diving into the basic foundational truths of the Bible.

As we think about a variety of landscapes that God takes us through in the Christian life, we consider the detour. Detours come in many different shapes and sizes, but all of them share one thing in common: We didn’t see them coming.

He wrote more about it than anyone else. Jesus told us to abide in him as a branch abides in the vine (Reference John 15:1-8). We know that by abiding he did not mean to pray. …
