Check out this week's teaching via video on YouTube, or keep reading! ❤ I'm always inspired by these words from Melissa Helser: "Get to know this kind Father."

Learning to Pause
I've been on a modified break from social media, doing my best to spend time with my kids instead of scrolling through highlight reels. I've been showing up a couple times during the week to share encouragement and truth, but have chosen to remain mostly out of the loop. I happened to see a post … Continue reading Learning to Pause

Stacie wrote the very first one - A Safe Place For Blueberry … Continue reading Savoring the Gospel in the Midst of Injustice
