“Before these conversations, I’d never considered the spiritual significance of the lobby as I came and went from worship. Merely having this pointed out to me has—in no time—created a more grace-filled heart posture as I approach this preworship and postworship pass-through.” - TGC

I have a lot of my best conversations at church in the lobby outside the auditorium. But sadly, we do not have a piazza with trattorias right outside!

We'd better get on that one...
