Caleb Community is named after the Old Testament warrior who was as strong at age 85 as he was at 45. At 85 he was strong enough to fight an uphill battle against a team of men resembling the defense of the Chicago Bears. It wasn't until age 85 that Caleb realized the fulfillment of the dreams, goals, and desires God placed upon his heart.
If I could choose to sit down over coffee with a “quality friend and mentor” from the Old Testament, I’d choose CALEB.
WHY? Caleb was well balanced...and he knew what it meant to have to wait!
