Does your work feel tense and full of friction, or easygoing and fun? The answer may depend on your willingness to build with God as your primary teammate and helper. When we force our own will, God often leaves our efforts fruitless. Not because He doesn't want us to succeed, but because He wants our partnership. Join Brad as he explores a home renovation as a metaphor for building a life with Christ. 

Joining us is Kristina McCollum, a recurring co-host with much knowledge and experience in church communities, professional advocacy environments, and leading her own family as a follower of Jesus. Brad and Kristina dive into the nature of compassion, the story of Jesus turning water into wine, and a few spectacular signs of the Holy Spirit in their own lives.
