First Year Interns

The first year of interning is all about identity, we aim to understand who God is and who He made us to be as His children.

DAWSON SWEATT

FIRST YEAR | DISCIPLESHIP
“Often compared to Alex from Target, Dawson from Chick-fil-a is a must read. Mysterious, riveting, and altogether wholesome - I couldn’t pull myself away. I laughed, I cried, and I learned something new. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a refreshing perspective on the intricate complexities of humanity.”
- Harrison Soles, Time Magazine
