You might think that this wouldn't be so difficult, but sometimes it feels more like the norm.  Maybe we're uncomfortable, overbusy, preoccupied, or just blind to it, but for whatever reason there's moments where we can just miss it.  This week Pastor Dan, Ryan, & Mike will dive into this idea. Join us for the conversation.

What are some major points of your story that you always celebrate? Maybe you look back on them and remember a significant moment or where you were vs where you are now.  Have you ever considered that we can do the same thing with our faith journey? In fact, we think God encourages us to do that.  Join us this week as Pastor Dan, Ryan, & Mike break this down and what that might look like in their own lives.

On this week's episode, Pastor Dan, Ryan, & Mike will talk about the highs and lows of coming alongside others.  What do we do in the hard moments?

Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of coming alongside someone else.
