Top 10 Articles of 2015 (Word + Life)

Death_to_stock_photography_weekend_work (8 of 10)

2015 has been a year I’ll never forget. The list of highlights below should tell you why:

  • I got married!
  • I had the joy of officiating my brother’s wedding six weeks after my wedding.
  • Settling into live with my beautiful bride.
  • Seeing the Spanish ministry at The Orchard EFC grow and mature.
  • Seeing my beloved Cubs win their first ever series-clinching game at Wrigley Field. (How awesome and yet pathetic at the same time!)
  • Another fruitful trip with Leadership Resources to Ecuador to train pastors in biblical exposition.
  • Releasing my first eBook in the Kindle store.
  • And many more highlights…including growth of the Word + Life blog in exposure and readership.

This post serves to share the best posts from 2015 based on pageviews and social shares. I also share runners up, posts from previous years that still receive considerable traffic, and some of the best articles I had other places on the web. (See the top posts of 2014.)

I’m hoping 2016 will be a fruitful year for me helping you in your walk with Christ.

Pray for me as I plan and pray about future writing projects and seek to create a more consistent schedule for Word + Life.
