It used to be known as the IFL. Now it is LifeTree School of Ministry. What is all that about and why is it important for the ABCVNH?&nbsp;
This episode we will talk with Ron Bouthillette, the new Associate Minister for Leadership and Discipleship for the American Baptist Churches of Vermont and New Hampshire. Part of his "portfolio" for that role is working as the Director of LifeTree. We'll talk about what LifeTree is, the changes we are making, why it matters, and what you should do if you think God may be calling you into ministry or church leadership.&nbsp;
To contact Ron, email him at ron.bouthillette@abcvnh.org.&nbsp;

S1E4 Chris Dunaway - Middle Street Baptist Portsmouth NH

There are about 150 American Baptist Churches in Vermont and New Hampshire. We are kind of old, kind of small, and the soil we are growing in is pretty cold and rocky. Even so, we think Aslan is on the move and God is at work pushing back the long winter. If you have lived in New England, you know that spring brings both bumps in the road and sweet maple syrup. We want to tell you the sweet stories of what God is doing, and some of the stories about those bumps in the road too. It's all good because the signs of gospel revival are real, and mud season doesn't last forever.
