In this powerful installment of the Real and Raw series, Pastor James D. Gailliard takes us to Mount Gilboa—the place where the weight of our decisions meets the mercy and justice of God. Through Saul’s story, we’re reminded that bills don’t show up overnight and that what we refuse to correct, God allows to collect.

Discover the price of disobedience, the pain of despair, and the power of devotion as Pastor Gailliard unpacks how every decision sets a direction—and every direction leads to a destination.

Learn how faith and therapy are not enemies but allies, and why despair isn’t a sin, it’s a signal. This message calls us to become a trauma-informed community anchored in God’s mercy and memory.
