  • Out On A Limb

    Send us Fan Mail

    Being out on a limb is that place in life where you feel exposed, unsure, and just hoping someone sees you. In this episode, Greg and Brian explore the story of Zacchaeus—literally out on a limb—when Jesus stops, looks up, and calls him by name. Just days before the cross, Jesus shows why He came: to seek the lost, invite relationship, and lead people from being lost to being found.
