Christmas is coming! Let's talk about everything that's happening at your church as well as what your church has been up to lately! Dr. Ashley Goad is on to help lay everything out that your church is doing this Christmas season. We can't wait to walk through this Advent season with you!

We often don’t think of all the small things we need when having to rebuild a life. From buying a chair or couch, or toothbrushes, trash cans, silverware, plates, these are all things that make us feel comfortable and settled. However, if you’re recovering from a homeless situation, then these are luxuries that can seem out of reach. That’s where the Retesting Project comes in! The retesting project collects furniture and life’s necessities that others aren’t using, and gifts them to people working their way out of homelessness. Emily Jo Manchester Sanden joins us to explain how this crucial organization that addresses the journey out of homelessness through providing comforts got started. Emily also gives examples of how we can volunteer our time to this effort to support those on the journey out of homelessness.

Today we're learning from Lee Jeter how the Fuller Center for Housing is transforming lives in Shreveport by providing a hand up to home ownership. Lee goes over the importance of home ownership, not just as a financial asset, but as a provider of stability for families. Lee's story of how God led him to this place is just as impressive as what he is doing now with the Fuller Center for Housing.
