Dawn and Steve in the Morning

Hour 1: Brick by Brick

Start your week with Dawn and Steve in the Morning as Steve shares a devotional from Blackaby Ministries International about the gift of encouragement. 

Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need.   Philippians 2:25

In addition, Trevor Whitman has a conversation with Steve about his book Brick by Brick: Reconstructing the Deconstructed.  Trevor has spent his life teaching, instructing, leading, and writing with a deep passion for theology, doctrine, and church health. After graduating from Multnomah University, Trevor explored multiple career paths starting by teaching middle school Bible, becoming a Children's Pastor, leading youth groups, and eventually a Young Adult Pastor. Trevor experienced multiple scandals from head pastors he worked under, leading him to struggle through deconstruction of the Church himself.
