March 31, 2025 RECALL & RECOUNT
Send us a text
It is inevitable that in this life we will walk through seasons and scenarios that are an open door to an invitation into distraction. Satan wants us to be positioned to have our eyes focused on anything else and anyone else other than Jesus. In Joshua Chapter 4, we are reminded about the powerful generational impact of recalling and recounting the miracles of God and how focusing on His goodness alleviates any footholds of the enemy.

March 17, 2025 EVANGELISM?
Send us a text
The final commandment that Jesus leaves us with before He ascends to Heaven is that we are to GO and make disciples. This call can be costly for some and require many to step out of their comfort zone. Is it enough to just show that we are Christians by how we love? Is it enough for us to just pray for those who are lost without intentionally discussing the transformative power of Jesus? Join in on this conversation as Eric and Brooke unpack what it means to evangelize today and the importance of having conversations about the gospel.
