Huge thanks to Scout for attending and documenting the Rising Tide conference.

Finally, someone with a plan.

Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets to live in.

Isaiah 58.

Thank you so much for doing this, Scout. I really wanted to be able to re-watch this without distraction. I'd love to read the ppt presentation too. Thanks again.
