After all was said and done I LOVED Unleash. I have a new respect for NewSpring Church and affirmed respect for Perry Noble.

Tired of Competing
Posted: September 30, 2009 by passionburnswithin in Life, Ministry, Philosophy, Religion, UncategorizedAfter being in the ministry for ten years I can honestly say that nothing bothers me like competing for the attention of people.
