A faith that is revealed in our character, exhibited in conflicts, and heard in our conversations. He calls us to… persevere amidst trials, ...read more

    There are decisions that all of us make on a daily basis. Some of those are minor and relatively inconsequential, others are major and potentially life altering.

  • This Is War Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 9, 2024
     | 352 views

    As we continue to pursue the "true religion" that James encourages us to embody, we come face to face with a war that we face. Sure, there are battles with culture, but this war is within.

He urged me to go to the church the Danielle grew up at and help out with the youth ...read more
