If you’re in the Los Angeles area, I’m here right now to lead conferences at the Empower Conference in Long Beach tomorrow, September 22. The Neighborhood Church is hosting, and I’m grateful to them for sponsoring the event. If you’re in the area, drop by Saturday and spend the day with us – there are dozens of workshops besides mine that will help you grow as a Bible study leader.

Before leaving Nashville for California, I curated content for you to read this weekend. I hope you’ll enjoy reading some of these trusted friends and colleagues.

Shoulder to shoulder,

Ken Braddy
