God's Amazing Normal is about the amazing impact that happens when Christ's followers get beyond their paralyzing self-focus, join Christ in His mission, and become intentional about being Christ's light into their own communities.

And it worked The church was joyful because when there are new spiritual children life is always exciting and challenging." Larry DeWitt In 1976, Larry DeWitt, his wife, Beccy, three kids and a dog headed west to Southern California with a dream . . . to create a fresh model of church life in America that was Christ centered, Bible based, culturally relevant, and outreach oriented.
