Curtain Call (Song)

In my last post I shared a song with you from my friend John Hatfield that dealt with “going.”  I find that the difficult part about going is leaving.  Last year, when I left my position with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes it was very difficult.  I love FCA and all the people that I worked with are in many ways like family.  While I continue to remain involved, there is no denying that “going” has changed my relationships a great deal with the people I served with.  This was the hardest part about going in a new direction that would see my much of my time and energy devoted to simple church multiplication.  It was at this time that my friend John released his new album “The Crowd Downstairs” (which I highly recommend).  The… Read More »Curtain Call (Song)
