Angela Zimmerman: A Change Of Allegiance
In our last two stories, we get a glimpse of God’s command to Abram to leave his country and his father’s household and go to a country God will show him. We also teased out God’s promise to Abram in Genesis 12:2, which is a stark anthesis to man’s desire to make...
Angela Zimmerman: God Didn’t Bless the Brick
“And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.” (Genesis 12:2 ESV) Read and ponder Genesis 12:2 for a moment. It should be a passage that stops us in our usually-always cursory habits of...
Angela Zimmerman: Abrams Re-call
Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1 ESV) We saw in our last post how God continually reached out to mankind to communicate and establish a relationship. Man was...
Angela Zimmerman: A Bird’s Eye View of Genesis 1-11

Justin Chambers: My First Time At NextGen
I was invited by Yvonne Miller and she didn’t have a great explanation of what NextGen was but the invitation was there. Thanks, Yvonne! I wasn’t sure what to expect. The place I was at, the things God was doing, I really didn’t think I needed to upset my schedule...
Chris Brown: Processing My Heart for Christmas
Recently as I was at my first “in person” Nextgen conference, I was there to just be. I had not gotten permission to do that in a long time. As I was listening to some of the speakers, I was taking in so much. I was learning and processing. At one point both the...
Nancy W.: Don’t Take Away Nothing
The conference ended, as I knew it would, on Friday night with hugs all around and tears shared with new friends and old, not wanting to leave the precious gathering of sojourners who stopped for a mere week of respite. NGLC 2021, a time to drink deep from the well of...
