Happy New Year!
As you get back into the swing of things, we on Watermark's External Focus team do too - and we look back over a great year here at the blog. This year saw a porn convention come to Dallas, new efforts on our team to connect faith with workplace callings, and plenty of time spent thinking (and writing) about the WHY of how Watermark impacts North Texas.
So without further ado, here's your chance to explore our most-visited blog posts of 2015...

Jeff Ward kicked off our look at the four key "broken relationships" that contribute to poverty. If you're interested in helping the poor, these principles are vital. (Click here.)
Christians often talk about making sure they're ethical and evangelistic in the workplace. But if those are the only two things that indicate you're a Christ-follower, then you're missing a third - very necessary - "E." (Click here.)
Why, indeed? (Click here.)
Visited thousands of times, this letter to our church family offered much more than a response to the local convention this past summer. It's worth reading this post just for the infographic at the bottom! (Click here.)
