The Ordinary Radicals
Last week, Nicole from The Ordinary Radicals documentary came to Wilmington to meet Herman. She also talked with me and Ben about the homeless scene here – she wanted to hear the Herman’s Bridge story first hand.

And your significance. Then I came across an article in Relevant Magazine – titled The Life Not Worth Living, by Jim Palmer. In the article, Palmer talks about the whole idea of significance in the Christian life, the abundant life in Christ – and where true contentment is found. He hits on the... Read The Rest →
