Pastor Eric continues “Relationships in HD” by showing how God speaks beyond pages and pulpits—through people and through providential events. From Esther’s “such a time as this” moment (Esther 4) to real-life stories of counsel, affirmation, and course-correction, we learn to resist fear, seek wisdom, and obey courageously. You’ll hear why fasting focuses the heart, how to test a word from others against God’s character and Scripture, and how trials can become classrooms for growth rather than wasted pain. Along the way: a celebration of community outreach, a reminder to vote your conscience shaped by Scripture, and a sober look at spiritual warfare with a greater confidence in Christ.
