Have you ever wondered: What does surrendering to God Look like? Or, do you want to know how to be a sold-out Christian?

Mark 1:1-8

People thought John the Baptist was crazy. He wore weird clothes, and ate weird food, and had a weird message.

BUT he was walking with God in total surrender. And because he was exactly where God wanted him, doing exactly what God wanted him to do, he didn’t care that people called him crazy and rejected him.

And as we stay the course, we become a shining beacon of hope in a hopeless world.
