In the first session of New Attitude, Josh Harris spoke about the ways three different people responded to God’s Word (listen here). These are some of my notes and thoughts.

I am home now. This will be quick, but I do hope to give a fuller overview soon! God really blessed me through the conference. I was encouraged, and convicted of some areas of sin and unbelief. It is so easy to talk the talk and not walk the walk. I have so many areas [...]
