In this episode of Rise, Renée sits down with Pastor Peter Olsen from Bevel City Outreach to discuss the significance of communion. Pastor Peter explains that communion is not just a ritual but an intimate act of reconnecting with Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary. It’s a symbol of restoration, healing, and deliverance.

He highlights that communion is important not only for personal growth but also for families and communities, drawing from the biblical Passover where the lamb was provided for each household, symbolizing God's protection. Pastor Peter encourages listeners to approach communion with personal conviction, understanding its power to reconnect believers to God's redemptive work and bring about spiritual renewal.
