Sadly, Voddie will not be with us January 27th.  There was a scheduling conflict that just came to light this week.  He expresses his apologies and is genuinely sorry he'll not be with us.  We will work on a time in the not-too-distant future to get him here.  As much as I love spending time … Continue reading Voddie Baucham is NOT Coming…
