I just got back from Engage and have an hour to kill before church, so I thought I’d post some questions I was challenged by.

I’m about to jump in the car, go pick up Soph, and start making our way up to Engage.

Driscoll was interviewed by Linda Morris in the SMH – it’s pretty clear she liked him from the tone of the article. See the full the article here. I’m very much looking forward to Wednesday night and Engage next weekend.
