To begin the final newsletter of 2025, I reflect back to Greg’s words in this very newsletter exactly one year ago that led up to our “Milestones” theme of this past year.

You probably are familiar with the term, “The passing of the mantle”. The term originates in I Kings when Elijah passes his mantle to Elisha. This “mantle” was a cloak with powerful symbolic meaning. With the passing of the mantle, Elijah was passing his prophetic authority and mission to Elisha before he was to be taken to Heaven.
