God Space – Part 2
In my first blog about God Space I talked about the “WHY” behind sharing the gospel. In this one, I wanted to spend a little bit of time talking about the “WHO” and the “HOW.” The WHO is pretty simple, right?

Which Enneagram Type Are You?
The Giver, The Challenger, The Peacemaker, The Individualist. Are these the latest Marvel superheroes? Nope. They’re some of the types of the Enneagram personality test. In this episode, the Core4 takes an online Enneagram test (only the most official) and then go over their results. We try to guess each others’ types and have a lot of fun in the … Read More
Counting Your Blessings/Giving Thanks
The Holiday season is right around the corner and I’m already feeling the stress. Meals to cook, families to host, presents to buy, work to wrap up before vacation.
