Gentlemen, I hope that this week is full of character-growing opportunities. Here are some articles that can stir your heart and challenge your mind.

“The Big Issues Facing the Western Church” by Tim Keller
Ready or not, the challenges of the world and the Church await your influence and leadership. Read Keller’s article to get a sense of what waits for you when you enter the “real world” as an adult. What do you think? Are there more pressing issues or is he hitting the nail on the head?
