  • Who should Read STEPUP?

    A few weeks ago, a friend posed the question, who is the target audience for STEPUP? I’ve been pondering this question a lot.

  • Be a Disciple (but, What Is A Disciple?)

    This is one of those questions that is really valid for many of us. In my own life, I’ve heard the word disciple thousands of times. I prayed about becoming a stronger disciple for years. I thought I knew what it was. I thought that by going to Church regularly, being a good guy, following…
