The leaders that God has blessed us with have had a huge influence on me spiritually, emotionally and mentally.  Going into the year, I was nervous about how I was going to get along with all four leaders, but they have been so accepting of who I am and have taught me a whole lot of stuff I never dreamed of learning about or even knowing about in the first place.  My mentors (James and Jordan) have pushed me to establish an up-close and intimate relationship with Christ that I have never had before, and I never thought was possible. 

One of the things that I appreciate the most about these two amazing men of God is their ability to joke around and make idiots of themselves one minute and then be engaged in a serious conversation about who knows what the next minute.  That in my opinion makes it even easier to get to know them and create a chillin’ atmosphere that I find oh so attractive. I have found two people that I am honored to know, and call them friends for life.
