Remember the parable of the sower? Jesus once spoke about a farmer who sowed seeds in various locations around his farm. Only the seeds that “fell on good soil…produced a crop – a hundred, sixty, or thirty times what was sown.”

With a solid background in both the technology industry and the pastoral ministry, Blue Van Dyke has a piece of solid advice for church leaders.
