Have you thought about the importance of genuineness in your life? We all deal with pressures put on us to present ourselves differently than we are; we are pressured to agree when we disagree, to behave and fit the mold, when we feel like we don't fit in. This goes beyond the healthy aspects of developing and growing, and it sometimes pushes many of us to lead a disingenuous life at work and at home. In this message, Pastor JD sits down with Jordan Brown to discuss the importance of genuineness and the qualities we should pursue.

We hope this conversation blesses you and inspires you to live better.

When was the last time you thought of Godliness? What kinds of thoughts come to mind when you think of that word? Religion? Accusations? Dogma?

If you grew up irreligious, this is a word that is distant and completely disconnected from your vocabulary. It probably sounds like it belongs in a different era. But Godliness is closer to us than we think. 

In this message, pastor JD shares why godliness should matter, who it is for, and how to develop it.
