Have you ever had a mountaintop experience with God in your life that left you wondering what happens next? In this message, Pastor Josh Turner kicks off our series Kings, Queens, and Prophets by taking a look at the pivotal moment in Elijah's life when he confronts the prophets of Baal. He explores what to do after such a spiritual high when life inevitably takes us back to the challenges of the valley. Pastor Josh explores two keys that can help us navigate life and realize that the same God who manifests on the mountain is present with us during our hardships.
