What a busy training season it’s been – and it’s not over yet! Last weekend found me at two Florida training events, followed by several days at a conference in Portland, OR., for leaders of Bible study ministries in local churches. This weekend has me back in Florida in the Orlando area to lead group leader training at Central Sanford in Sanford, FL.

I’m thankful you’re following my blog, and I’m also thankful for many of you who purchased my book, Breathing Life Into Sunday School. I found out last week that it has been reprinted in a second print run because of the demand! Thank you for reading and recommending it to others.

Now, here are my Friday Faves – links to some great blog content from friends and colleagues. I hope you’ll enjoy reading some or all of these.

Shoulder to shoulder,
