More accurately, we go through the New Testament in about 10 months and the Old Testament in about 15 months with a passion for just keepin’ it real, having conversations like normal people (except that Roger’s the one with the microphone), and living out the love of Jesus more every single day.

Roger Courville, CSP is a globally-recognized expert in digitally-extended communication and connection, an award-winning speaker, award-winning author, and a passionately bad guitarist. And…
…all that blah blah blah means nothing if he doesn’t help you fall more in love with Jesus and the people in Jesus’ world.
