Good Morning,
I wanted to write y’all to provide a free resource. One of Alana and I’s favorite pastors, David Platt of Brook Hills Church in Birmingham, AL spoke passionately at the US Staff Conference we just returned from. Here is a link that gives you free access to David’s talk, as well talks from Francis Chan, international president of Campus Crusade for Christ Steve Douglass, CCC US VP Steve Sellers:

Scroll down through the talks, David’s talk is last.
I highly recommend his two books, that craft the argument that Jesus saves us from American Dream and His grace should move us to radical abandonment to follow after Him. Here’s the Amazon link to his two books, one for personal growth (Radical), the other how to pursue Christ as a church (Radical Together) :
Thank you and hope you can enjoy.
