The Journey Of Faith

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 1, 2025

Faith’s journey moves through surrender and grace — where Jesus meets us at the wall, restores our love, and sends us forward.

There’s something quietly deceptive about the word arrival. We love the sound of it — the sense that the journey’s over, the destination reached, the work done. “I’ve arrived,” we say. The culture trains us to think in terms of achievements and milestones, success stories and finish lines. But ...read more
