"God fully accepts us in our brokenness—but does not accept everything we do," Pastor Todd Beal said, sharing a baseball analogy. “The coach knows the player's heart, but a foul ball is still called foul," he said. We can allow God to bring things to our heart's attention so we learn to do what pleases Him, he said. 

Todd Beal and his wife Sonjah are the founders of New & Living Way Church in Kelso, Washington, where he serves as lead pastor. Since the church's beginning in 2012, their desire has and is to see breakthrough in the lives of God's people and for the local church be a fresh, loving and vibrant community of people who are passionately serving God
