great quotes from Timothy+Barnabas

Pray for the ministry going on this weekend at Martinsville Speedway through Raceway Ministries. Our team will serve race fans in many different ways with the desire and plan to have conversations about Jesus. It is going to be a great weekend!

I just returned from a retreat, Johnny Hunt’s Timothy+Barnabas Pastor’s and Wives event. #nambtb19 It was awesome. Lots of take always and encouragement. So, I thought I would share some random quotes. Read and enjoy:

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit.

It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
