Tears of gratitude welling up rn. Thank you so much John and the Become New team for this beautiful extension of the ministry. I’m not even able to articulate fully all the ways that the Spirit of Jesus has used Become New as means of conforming me into His Image. I’m so looking forward to more of these long form Formation episodes. I’ve just listened to the first one and it was so awesome, Tyler and John are both so thoughtful and I admire them both deeply.
