    By David Pat on July 16, 2012
    You have probably heard that singleness was a gift but were not sure why. Here are some ways that singleness is a blessing for those who are seeking to be missional: Freedom to travel.

    By David Pat on June 26, 2012
    There are many articles about relationships that discuss compatibility or having “good chemistry,” but I wonder how many of us think about how our relationships affect our desire to be missional.
