I started following Jared Wilson a few years ago at his blog, Gospel-Driven Church, when I first got hired on with my church as a college pastor. I had felt a bit frantic, not knowing what on earth I was doing. I scavenged the internet for resources…

Roots Run Deeper

October 12, 2012

Perhaps you've never heard of Jadon Lavik. I hadn't until about 5 years ago. That was when he released his phenomenal album "Roots Run Deep." If you haven't listened to it, I'd recommend it: a beautiful collection of tastefully repainted hymns. But I…
