Jim Wright is a church sower, public but unassuming, thinker, mentor, teacher, local church elder, motivated by redemption, foe of tyrants, friend of the dispossessed, retired international attorney, entrepreneur, former private pilot, and so-so bass fisherman.
Marianne is a retired public school teacher, private but strong, heart, skilled counselor, knows deep intimacy with God, a comfort to others in the Lord, wise, motivated by mercy but has strong resolve, gardener, and a bridge to healing for many.
Together, we have been part of a community of simple, participatory fellowships for many years in our own home county - some of which we helped start.
Our blogs and devotionals spring from firm roots in those local fellowships.

Amen. As I probably told you before, when I was teaching Church History, I would often say, “The worst thing we did was build a church building.” I would explain to the students that we stopped going out to the lost and demanded that they make their way to us while we sit in our buildings. I still feel that way. I love home groups / home churches, because we are making relationships, bringing God to our neighbors and friends rather than just simply inviting them to a building somewhere, we are opening ourselves for relationship.
