Churches to Visit
Helpful Sites
A worthwhile effort. Not the whole answer but part of the solution.
This site has helpful insights into the Hero's journey. Click on the suitcase to start the journey. Navigate around. It follow's Joseph Campbell's categories. While not a Christian journey it offers some insights we all need.
The version I use most.
Let's support this!
Great resource for developing missional leaders and communities.
Join and go!
