Louie Giglio, Francis Chan, Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman oh my…

Torey…only 15 years old…tormented by demons or simply suicidal?

I met a girl named Torey on Saturday. Her story is still fresh in my mind and heart. She was laying down at a bus stop and as I was passing by in my car, I couldn’t help but think that maybe I should turn around and see if she needed help. Maybe God used [...]
