This video is one of the highlights of last April’s FLAME. I shared one much earlier when we played Michael W. Smith’s Agnus Dei. Today’s video is from the last day of FLAME and there was an excitement in the air. Everyone was on the same page and the result was amazing. Enjoy!

One of the things that I want to make clear about stewardship is that it is not just about money. I like what Lynn Miller says about this topic; “Stewardship [...]
