Can we be angry? | Megan Marshman

Can we be angry? | Megan Marshman

We imagine Jesus as a very serene, calm and soft-spoken man. But, just like us, Jesus feels anger, and in John 2:13-25, He gets so angry Jesus flips tables! But have you ever noticed that anger comes from another feeling? The thing that lies underneath it causes an explosion that sometimes we struggle to contain; your disappointment, grief or sadness. But we don’t need ways to manage anger–it’s not about how to control your anger, either. God made that feeling; therefore, feeling angry is not a bad thing. However, we can express our anger in ways that do not harm ourselves or others. Pastor Megan Marshman helps us understand how.

Overcoming shame | Shawn Williams

Overcoming shame | Shawn Williams

Shame is a word and feeling we all want to avoid. Shame is often a barrier between us and God, too. Our regrets, all those actions and feelings we carry with us for years, weigh us down and make us feel less than worthy of God’s love. But that’s just not true at all.

In John 18, Peter denies Jesus three times, something he is deeply ashamed of. And then, in John 21, Peter is forgiven by and restored through Jesus.

You, too, can experience forgiveness and restoration; true healing and freedom from shame, guilt and regret. Pastor Shawn shows us how this is possible in our own lives.

A God who grieves | Thomas Anderson Jr.

A God who grieves | Thomas Anderson Jr.

Does God understand our grief? In the story of Lazarus and his death and resurrection, Jesus shows us that He lives grief just as deeply as we do. Even though Jesus knew Lazarus would be brought back from the dead, He still joined Mary and Martha, Lazarus’ sisters, in their grief and sadness. Jesus also demonstrates how, through Him, we can use our grief for a greater purpose; a deeper connection with God and with others around us. Pastor Thomas visits John 11 and the story of Lazarus in the Bible.

Contagious joy | Dave Dummitt

Contagious joy | Dave Dummitt

When Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding, it was not only His first miracle but also caused great joy. No, not because the guests got the best wine (but that did make them pretty joyful)! But because Mary, Jesus’ mother, saw Him step into His calling. 

We can sometimes wonder how we can be happy. Or curious about where others are finding joy in this life. We can ask; what do I need to find my joy? 

As we begin a new series on Big Feelings, Pastor Dave takes us to John 2:1-12 to discover how being close to God can bring out our own joy.

It transforms the world | Megan Marshman

It transforms the world | Megan Marshman

What is the power of our giving? Can our generosity change the world? In the earliest Christian church (in Acts 2:42-47), people gave so that others in their community were looked after. Orphans were homed, the sick were cared for, and anyone with a need was helped. 

Jesus calls us to do the same in our world today! We can help in our community by giving generously–and remember, it’s not about the amount you give, but the heart behind it–we can meet the needs of others. What would the world look like if we all gave to help in our community?

Feb 25, 202439:48
It costs you something | Shawn Williams

It costs you something | Shawn Williams

What is a motivating factor in giving when you decide to give? It’s usually in response to a need; a heartstring has been pulled, and you want to help someone else. When something really hits home, we can feel like it’s worth giving sacrificially–more than we might usually, or perhaps we have to forgo something else to help meet someone else’s need.. What if we gave sacrificially toward the Kingdom of God instead of out of abundance? In 2 Samuel 24, King David says “I will not sacrifice to the Lord my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” How can we take a stance like that and what impact would that have on the world?

Feb 18, 202441:14
It starts with gratitude | Dave Dummitt

It starts with gratitude | Dave Dummitt

Church offerings, or the concept of “tithing,” is typically hard to talk about, hard to begin doing and often is questioned. When many doubt the church's intentions, what good comes from tithing? Tithes and offerings are all about generosity. It’s about how you give, not how much. It is an expression of worship in response to God’s goodness. And it’s not just about keeping the church lights on either. Generosity extends much further. Pastor Dave begins this series by exploring where the concept of tithes began in the Bible, in Genesis 14 and how our motivation to give means way more than the amount.

Dreams greater than you imagine | Shawn Williams

Dreams greater than you imagine | Shawn Williams

Yes, God’s will for your life is much bigger than you could imagine! God wants to use YOU to help heal, restore, and redeem the world. You can change the world in partnership with God’s work in your life. But how? We finish up the last week in our Divine Dreams series by looking at Joseph in the Bible, in Genesis 50 and Romans 8:28, and learning how he was used by God to reconcile his family and provide safety for his people. How will God use you in this world? Discover God’s will for your life and pursue your biggest dreams through Him.

Feb 04, 202433:27
Testing that defines and refines | Dave Dummitt

Testing that defines and refines | Dave Dummitt

Temptation is all around us, testing our character and will. Temptation also affected Joseph in the Bible. When faced with temptations such as seduction by Potiphar’s wife, a weak work ethic, and revenge on his despicable brothers, Joseph leans into his faith and resists, choosing instead to show kindness and keep his integrity.

Pastor Dave explores the story of Joseph in the Bible through Genesis –41, where Joseph takes his setbacks and temptations and allows God to use him in ways beyond his wildest dreams.


Jan 28, 202429:07
When others threaten your dreams | Dave Dummitt

When others threaten your dreams | Dave Dummitt

How do you hold onto your life’s dreams and persevere through tough times when others threaten to derail them or even actively hurt you?

The story of Joseph in the Bible deals with his struggles with a highly dysfunctional family and the ways in which they harm him (Genesis 37–40) when they dislike his big dreams for life.

Joseph holds onto hope through his faith, knowing he will ultimately achieve big things in partnership with God and His purpose for Joseph’s life. How will God partner with you to fuel your big dreams and achieve immeasurably more than you could on your own?

Jan 21, 202433:28
Discovering God's Dream for Your Life | Megan Marshman

Discovering God's Dream for Your Life | Megan Marshman

Many of us wonder: what is my life’s purpose? We have big dreams, but do they match God’s will for our lives? And what happens when obstacles get in the way of our dreams?

Remember when you were a kid, and you wanted to be an actor, a firefighter, or a marine biologist, but life got in the way, reality hit, and your big dreams fell by the wayside? Life has a way of presenting challenges that seem impossible to overcome.

As we begin our new series, Divine Dreams, we explore the story of Joseph in the Bible in Genesis 37 and how he persevered through so much, remaining faithful throughout and achieving his big dream.

Finding Rest in a Chaotic World | Dave Dummitt

Finding Rest in a Chaotic World | Dave Dummitt

It’s a new year; we’re all thinking about what we want to do and achieve in the next 12 months. Do you want to hit the gym, read those books you’ve had on your shelf for ages, or pick up a new hobby? 

How about rest? Could resting well be a part of what you want to achieve this year? It’s different, sure! But God Himself takes a rest, and if He can, surely we should too!

God tells us to take a sabbath–a day of rest–because He knows just how important it is for us to do so. God wants you to be healthy in all ways: physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally. And He knows that not resting well will affect those things. Rest is a spiritual discipline!


Pastor Dave starts us off right with a message on why we should rest well.

Evangelism: A value to live, not a thing to do | Betsy Sunny

Evangelism: A value to live, not a thing to do | Betsy Sunny

Once you make a decision to follow Jesus, you’re told to go out and evangelize to everyone you know; and all those you don’t know too. Ooof, that sounds scary, right?

What does evangelism really mean? We’ve all seen the guy standing on the street corner yelling at everyone to repent. But that’s not what the Bible tells us about evangelism.

Is evangelism a value we should be embracing? Yes! 

Pastor Betsy uses learnings from the first century church to demonstrate what God is really calling us to do as evangelists.

A King Among Kings| Shawn Williams

A King Among Kings| Shawn Williams

The biblical Christmas story is one of peace and hope, but only if you see Jesus for who He really is. 

When Jesus, the King of Kings,  was born, King Herod felt intimidated and tried to eliminate the threat to his kingdom. What’s your response to Jesus? You can ignore Him, feel threatened by Him, or choose to follow and experience the wholeness He has to offer.


This Christmas, experience a relationship with the King of Kings, the one born to save the world!

Dec 24, 202324:11
An Approachable King | Megan Marshman

An Approachable King | Megan Marshman

If you ever felt like you didn’t fit into church or God wasn’t for you, you aren’t alone. The shepherds in the Bible were the first to hear the news of the birth of Jesus. The “lowly” shepherds, as they’re sometimes referred to, were not important, high-powered people.


Had Jesus been born in a castle or fortress, He would only be accessible to a select few. Instead, He was born in a stable, so even the outcast and powerless could approach Him. What would change if you saw that Jesus truly was available to us all? Pastors Megan Marshman and Shawn Williams take us through Luke 2 and the Christmas story of the Shepherds in the Bible.

Dec 17, 202341:46
Distractions & Detours | Shawn Williams

Distractions & Detours | Shawn Williams

In week 2 of our Christmas series, we look at how we can focus on the goodness of God in the busyness of the season or the chaos of our lives. 

Jesus’ birth came at a most inconvenient time—or so Mary thought. Right before the birth of Jesus, His parents, Mary and Joseph, had to journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and by the time they arrived, there was no place for them to stay. Instead, a perfect God made His appearance in an imperfect setting.


How can we keep our focus on God when we face detours and distractions? Pastor Shawn uses Luke 2 to help demonstrate how and why keeping God at the center of our lives is so important, especially during busy seasons.

What's the Real Gift? | Dave Dummitt

What's the Real Gift? | Dave Dummitt

 Christmas is an exciting time of year, filled with food, lights, traditions, connection, and gifts. But in the midst of the holiday season, we can forget that Jesus is God’s gift to us, and He offers us many gifts, too: peace, strength, companionship and direction. It’s easy to become fixated on the gifts, forgetting about the Giver. 


What happens when we desire Jesus’ gifts more than Jesus Himself? Pastor Dave explores this question by looking at the historical setting of Jesus’ birth as we begin our Christmas series, What If It’s True.

Dec 03, 202330:23
Self-Control Through Temptation | Dave Dummitt

Self-Control Through Temptation | Dave Dummitt

Here comes the fruit of the spirit some of us really don’t want to talk about: ‘self-control’. 

Why is self-control sometimes so hard? And what benefits can we draw from this fruit of the spirit to help our own lives and those of others? The Holy Spirit can help empower us to be masters over our own desires and destructive impulsivity. Pastor Dave concludes our series on the fruit of the spirit!

Nov 27, 202344:44
Faithfulness That is Trustworthy | Shawn Williams

Faithfulness That is Trustworthy | Shawn Williams

The Holy Spirit, using the fruit of the spirit called ‘faithfulness’  equips and empowers us to become trustworthy users of our thoughts, time, energy, and resources. By being faithful, we can most effectively use all of those things at our disposal to reflect the love of God in our embattled world.

Nov 19, 202329:06
Gentleness That Serves | Dave Dummitt

Gentleness That Serves | Dave Dummitt

Gentleness is a fruit of the spirit that we think we get, right? But how exactly can our being gentle, or using gentleness, bring us closer to living our lives like Jesus? And doesn’t that just make us weak?

Through the Holy Spirit, we’re empowered to live lives of humility, using our power, strength, and influence to benefit others. Does that sound like gentleness? Pastor Dave explains.

Nov 12, 202339:49
Goodness Anchored in Integrity | Shawn Williams

Goodness Anchored in Integrity | Shawn Williams

Which fruit of the spirit is probably the hardest to understand or define? Could it be ‘goodness’? We know what it means to be a good kid, or a generally good person, but ‘goodness’ feels a little more intangible. And it’s not just about doing a good deed, or being good natured.

As Pastor Shawn explains this week, the Holy Spirit empowers us to live lives of goodness by living lives of integrity.

Nov 06, 202339:05
Kindness That Fights Injustice | Dave Dummitt

Kindness That Fights Injustice | Dave Dummitt

Let’s look at the fruit of the spirit known as kindness. Why is kindness important as a fruit of the spirit? Because the kindness of God is an incredibly powerful force against injustice and cruelty. And when our world feels so full of injustice, we can work to restore the brokenness with our kindness.

Oct 30, 202335:37
Peace That Heals | Shawn Williams

Peace That Heals | Shawn Williams

As we continue to explore the fruit of the spirit, in this week’s teaching we learn about peace. 

There are plenty of Bible verses about peace, but it's not just about having our own peace of mind; it’s about enjoying the peace of God that allows us to live fully at peace in a broken world.

Oct 23, 202336:21
Unshakeable Joy | Megan Marshman

Unshakeable Joy | Megan Marshman

This week, Pastor Megan Marshman takes a look at the happiest-sounding fruit of the spirit: joy!

Why is joy a trait of Jesus that we should be using regularly? Because the joy of God in our lives is strength against darkness. Ever hear the phrase “the joy of the Lord is my strength”? That’s what we’re talking about! Learn how to leverage God’s strength in your life everyday through the fruit of the spirit, joy.

Oct 16, 202336:43
Patience That Slows Us Down | Dave Dummitt

Patience That Slows Us Down | Dave Dummitt

Week 2 of our series and this week, Pastor Dave explores the fruit of the spirit “patience”.

Patience, or forbearance as it’s sometimes referred to in the Bible, is something we could all do with in our daily, incredibly busy lives. When impatience threatens to destabilize our mental and emotional health, the Holy Spirit can help guide us in healthy ways to respond, through the fruit of the spirit; using patience.

Oct 08, 202342:44
Selfless Love | Shawn Williams

Selfless Love | Shawn Williams

In this series about the 9 fruits of the spirit in the Bible, we will be exploring what it means to live like Jesus, with the Holy Spirit as our guide. 

We’ve been given 9 traits of Jesus that, when applied to our lives through the Holy Spirit, can help us live more like Him. Why? Because that’s what we’re called to do.

The 9 “fruits of the spirit” reflect all the qualities we need to be more like Jesus in this world. 

We start with the fruit of the spirit ‘love’, and Pastor Shawn kicks us off with a teaching about God’s love and how we can reflect that onto others.

Oct 01, 202340:02
On Earth As It Is In Heaven | Fabian Garza & Dave Dummitt

On Earth As It Is In Heaven | Fabian Garza & Dave Dummitt

Revelation 7 talks of every tribe and tongue worshiping God together in heaven. If Jesus prayed, “your Kingdom come on Earth as it is in heaven,” we better get moving on that type of unity NOW!

This week we enjoy a multi-lingual Spanish/English teaching from pastors Fabian and Dave about mode

Sep 24, 202324:44
Where is Heaven? | Megan Marshman

Where is Heaven? | Megan Marshman

This week Pastor Megan Marshman paints a picture of what heaven looks like both “up there” and down here, on earth. Where is heaven? Is heaven real? What is heaven like? The Bible reveals a lot about heaven; including what we can expect in heaven, and what we can do here to engage in heaven on earth.

Sep 17, 202337:30
What Does The Bible Say About Heaven? | Megan Marshman

What Does The Bible Say About Heaven? | Megan Marshman

We’re beginning an exciting new series on heaven with Pastor Megan Marshman, who takes us through passages referencing heaven in the Bible, Revelation 21 and John 4, to discover answers to a big question; What is heaven like?


What does the Bible say about heaven? Quite a bit, it turns out! It can be nerve-wracking not knowing everything about what awaits us in the afterlife, but what the Bible says about heaven is that heaven is a great place–an awe-inspiring place–and, perhaps, closer than we think.

Sep 10, 202344:09
Abundant Life is Possible | Shawn Williams

Abundant Life is Possible | Shawn Williams

We wrap up our series around the story of the Prodigal Son in the Bible, from Luke chapter 15. Learn how transformation, the ability to change your life, comes through the power of God. 

What happens after we begin a relationship with God? It’s important to develop that relationship through regular rhythms of discipleship. Such as prayer, Bible study and worship. That leads us to real life transformation.


Sep 03, 202336:56
God Really Does Love You | Fabian Garza

God Really Does Love You | Fabian Garza

Does God love me? YES! He does! The most significant, life-transforming truth we can learn to receive, accept, and live in, is the truth that God loves us. He really loves us with an unending, unbreakable, unwavering love.

Pastor Shawn takes us through Luke chapter 15, verse 21, and the story of the Prodigal Son that gives us insight into how much love for us God has!

Aug 27, 202331:57
Help Is Near | Dave Dummitt

Help Is Near | Dave Dummitt

It’s week 3 in our series, Finding You Way Back To God, and we’re talking about how to satisfy our soul-wrenching desires through relationship with God, looking at the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15.


Just like the prodigal son’s father, God is full of compassion for you and actively wants to welcome you back into relation with Him when you’re needing help the most, no matter where you have been, or what you have done.

Aug 20, 202338:00
Recovering From Regret | Dave Dummitt

Recovering From Regret | Dave Dummitt

This week in our series on the Prodigal Son in Luke 15, we’re looking at what happens when our desires lead us to make choices we regret, or try to find our satisfaction in misleading places. 

When we try to find quick fixes for our desires, they can lead us down a path of bad decisions and addictions to things that exacerbate our poor choices. How to change? How to get back to God and experience a renewed life? Let Him know you want help: “God please help me!”, and seek His wisdom. 

Where do you need to find a new direction in your life?

Aug 13, 202334:05
What's Your Purpose? | Faith Schiller

What's Your Purpose? | Faith Schiller

What do you want for your life? Not just health, wealth, and love, but what do you want your purpose to be? Dive into the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to discover where genuine satisfaction comes from.

Aug 06, 202334:08
Obadiah | Megan Marshman

Obadiah | Megan Marshman

In our final week of the series, looking at short books of the Bible, we finish with Obadiah! Pastor Megan Marshman shows us how the book of Obadiah, in the Old Testament, provides a great lesson about shifting our focus from serving ourselves, to serving God and loving others, and how that shift can make life infinitely more rich. If you’ve ever wondered about what we can learn from the Old Testament prophets and Obadiah, this is a must-see video!

Jul 30, 202340:04
The book of Philemon | Shawn Williams

The book of Philemon | Shawn Williams

Have you ever held a grudge, been unable to let something go, or even felt at odds with yourself? God’s heart is to restore all people to Himself and restore communities, relationships, and even our internal worlds. Learn from the book of Philemon about how you can experience a new level of reconciliation and restoration. 

Jul 23, 202337:05
The book of Jude | Dave Dummitt

The book of Jude | Dave Dummitt

We’re diving into a new series focussed on short books of the Bible, and we kick it off with Jude!

The Book of Jude is a one-chapter, short book of the Bible that’s really not a book at all, but a letter written by Jude, a half-brother of Jesus. But while the Book of Jude is short, it is packed with spiritual nutrition to strengthen our faith. He talks about fake teachers and leaders; to be wary of them leading people astray, and encourages Christ-followers to stand firm in their faith.

Pastor Dave takes us through the small but mighty Book of Jude and how we can apply it’s teachings to our lives now.

Jul 16, 202333:09
Things Jesus Said About Prayer | Dave Dummitt

Things Jesus Said About Prayer | Dave Dummitt

Sometimes it’s hard to know how to pray. Whether you’re just starting to learn, need a refresher on how prayer works, or just a boost in your prayer life, we can all turn to Jesus for guidance.

Because Jesus gave us the best prayer template: The Lord’s Prayer. Otherwise known as the “Our Father Prayer”, the Lord’s Prayer, from Matthew 6, tells us exactly how to pray, straight from Jesus’ own lips! This week, Pastor Dave leads us through the Lord’s Prayer and why our own prayers can–and should be–a simple conversation between us and God.

Jul 09, 202336:56
Things Jesus Said About Hating Your Enemy | Thomas Anderson Jr.

Things Jesus Said About Hating Your Enemy | Thomas Anderson Jr.

We’re continuing to explore the red letters in the Bible; the things Jesus actually said, with a couple of His most famous, and perhaps most misunderstood, quotes: “Love thy neighbor” and “love your enemies”. Pastor Thomas dives into Matthew 5 43-48 to discover why Jesus gave us this important task and what it means to reflect the radical love of God onto those we may find it hard to love.

Jul 02, 202336:35
Things Jesus Said About Absolute Freedom | Megan Marshman

Things Jesus Said About Absolute Freedom | Megan Marshman

So, you’ve heard of the infamous “unforgivable sin” and want to know exactly what that is and if you’ve done it. We all do! There is a lot of forgiveness in the Bible but perhaps you are wondering if there really are sins God will not forgive. 

Pastor Megan Marshman fills us in on what the unforgivable sin could be and if we need to get doused in holy water immediately. We joke, of course, but there is a way to walk confidently in Christ by understanding this ‘unforgivable sin’. Looking at Matthew 12 30-32.

Jun 25, 202340:08
Things Jesus Said About Identity | Shawn Williams

Things Jesus Said About Identity | Shawn Williams

Who am I? How do I find my worth? How can I feel valued?—Do you ever ask yourself these questions? We can find our identity in work, or our value in money, but how sustainable are these?

This week in our series exploring the things that Jesus actually said, the red letters in the Bible; Pastor Shawn looks at Matthew 16, verses 24-25, and shows how we can know our true value and worth in something that will never go away.

Jun 18, 202336:24
Things Jesus Said About Hypocrisy | Church Online

Things Jesus Said About Hypocrisy | Church Online

Continuing our series about red letters and the things Jesus actually said, we look at Matthew 23. Did you know the phrase “practice what you preach” comes from the Bible and from something Jesus Himself said? We explore the passage from which this phrase began, learn the proper phrase and Jesus’ intention in saying it. HINT: Jesus doesn’t want or need you to perfect to be loved by Him.

Jun 11, 202338:60
Things Jesus Said About Judgement | Dave Dummitt

Things Jesus Said About Judgement | Dave Dummitt

We kick off a new series all about the red letters: the things Jesus said that are typically highlighted in Bibles using red ink. Red letters in the Bible tell us the words Jesus spoke Himself—and all too often Jesus is misquoted. So let’s look at those red letters and how they help us today. You’ve probably heard the phrase “judge not lest ye be judged”, but what did Jesus mean? Pastor Dave takes us into Matthew 7 and what exactly Jesus was saying.

Jun 04, 202330:23
More Fun in Play | Michael Jr.

More Fun in Play | Michael Jr.

When was the last time you did something just because it was fun? We wear badges of exhaustion, efficiency, and productivity, having lost the wonder and benefit of simply playing. In Luke 18:16, Jesus says the Kingdom of God belongs to children, so what does it look like to live with childlike faith and wonder? Rediscover the goodness of play with a message centered around laughter.

May 28, 202343:01
More Purpose at Work | Dave Dummitt

More Purpose at Work | Dave Dummitt

How do we invite God into our work life? Whether you are a student, a server, doctor, lawyer, teacher, caretaker, or at home with kids. Whatever your daily work looks like, God has a greater purpose for the everyday moments. This week Pastor Dave looks at what happens when we invite God’s kingdom into the places we spend so much time. When we realize that any place we engage with other people can become sacred space, God energizes our work.

May 21, 202338:60
More Joy in Your Family | Shawn Williams

More Joy in Your Family | Shawn Williams

Often, when we think of ‘family’ we think of the traditional nuclear family. Early followers of Jesus had a much broader definition, opening their doors to strangers, orphans, and widows. We will dive into Deuteronomy 6 to learn more about how to intentionally invite Jesus to be the center of our inner circles and to infuse more joy into these families.

May 14, 202334:07
More of God's Presence | Albert Tate

More of God's Presence | Albert Tate

We go to church, but how often do you experience God in your church? How do you worship when you’re disappointed with God—when that prayer doesn’t get answered or you find yourself waiting? Just like the Israelites in the wilderness, we are all fundamentally longing for God, but who and what are we actually reaching for and serving? Pastor Albert Tate looks at the book of Exodus and shares content from his new book, Disobedient God, to help you reframe your view of God so that you can experience His presence in every moment, even the ones when He feels most distant.

May 07, 202334:51
Moved to Action | Megan Marshman

Moved to Action | Megan Marshman

God is able to do more than we think or imagine according to His power at work within us—and He makes His full power and presence available to us. But how? Pastor Megan Marshman concludes Celebration of Hope and unpacks Ephesians 3:14–21 to show how when we grow in accepting and being strengthened by God’s love, we see Him use us to do immeasurably more to change the world.

Apr 30, 202335:16
Moved by Love | Oscar Muriu

Moved by Love | Oscar Muriu

What happens to our minds, hearts, and even our bodies when we begin to grasp the love of God for us? How does being rooted in the knowledge of God’s love, power, and community transform us? What is the effect of being filled to the measure of all the fullness of God? 

Pastor Oscar Muriu from Nairobi Chapel kicks off Celebration of Hope and unpacks Ephesians 3:14–21 to show how it leads to a movement of people fighting poverty and injustice so that lives are transformed and Jesus is known.

Apr 23, 202337:27
Where There is God, There is Hope | Shawn Williams

Where There is God, There is Hope | Shawn Williams

The story did not end with Jesus rising from the dead. Shortly after, in Luke 24, the resurrected Jesus met up with some travelers on their way home from Jerusalem. The conversation proved to be life-changing, not only for them but also for others around them. Join us as we experience the story of transformation.

Apr 16, 202328:38
