"Holiday Gift Guide with Chad Landman"

I was extremely happy and honored to be asked to be on Preachers in Training for their Holiday Gift Guide for 2017. Robert Hatfield is a dear friend and I was so happy to be on the show.

The PiT Gift Guide has become somewhat of a tradition in the last few years for me, and again, I'm thankful Robert had me on. We had a lot of fun and talked about some great (mostly inexpensive) gifts for the minister in your life.

I'm a space nut. For the first time in human history, we'll be visiting Pluto tomorrow. And you can watch. This from Business Insider:

If everything goes according to plan, a NASA spacecraft, called New Horizons, will fly by Pluto at 7:49 am ET. New Horizons is the first spacecraft in history to ever visit Pluto, and it's been a long time coming after 9 years in space. NASA will stream live countdown coverage of the event starting at 7:30 am, followed by a briefing on the mission from 8:00 to 9:00 am ET.

I'll be watching.

My personal struggles are not unique, and they do not need to be pitied. Preachers cry. Preachers worry. Preachers fail. Preachers struggle. Preachers hurt. They need prayers, encouragement, patience, and grace.
