    I can't believe that I'm just now learning about Andy Stanley! From what I've read about him so far, and from the bits and pieces I just listened to of his podcast, I can tell that I have a lot to learn from him. The list of questions that Andy came up with and that you listed definitely struck a chord with me–I'm looking forward to sharing them with my fellow children's ministry leaders.

    Sam, I heard this series near the first time though and have been working on a similar list with my boys ever since…(I also read the book, then went though the series again with my small group). The list of the big monsters and Prov. 4:23 are something that I think about constantly. Thanks for expanding the circle of people that know about this.
