Oh, I'm going back in the archives of my own life for this one, to the tune of when my oldest son, who's now 24 years old, was just four months old.

0:10.3

I'm going to tell you a true story about something God nudged me to do back then, continuing this month's conversation about some overlooked ways to serve God on the Jesus Over Everything show.
