Our Stories

Produced by James Grocho (Grochowalski)

Our life stories can make us feel disqualified, broken, and weak. The Bible tells us that Jesus uses the weak to shame the strong, and the foolish to shame the wise. This video explains that when we are at our weakest, that's the very place we get to tap into the strength of God.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:29-31
