We are giving this another go. Trying to make this more of a thing...but man it’s hard and I promise I’ll try and be consistent. This week I talk with the Hulk about being a utility guy in camping ministry and how to be involved in camping ministry well past being on official “summer staff.” I’ll try and figure vocal issues over time.
