On behalf of The Rocket Company’s‘ desire to help churches succeed, I will be live blogging for the 3rd consecutive day from the Orange Conference in Atlanta, Ga.  They saved some of the best leadership insights for last.
The morning session kick off with best-selling author Bob Goff and an interview with Jeff Shinabarger on the subject of generosity and what is really enough.
