In week three of our series, "Upside Down Kingdom", Pastor Rodney discusses the story of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and how a whole generation failed to reach it because they were conquered by "IT." "IT" is anything that keeps us from the freedom God has for us. The Israelites were conquered by their thoughts, insecurities, and desire to be safe and comfortable. 

Pastor encourages us not to allow our past, present feelings, disappointments, or accomplishments determine our identity and to seek God's will, even if it means facing our fears. Listen and be challenged.
