It's In The Waiting We Find God's Strength

Raise your hand if you like waiting for something! I definitely don't have my hand raised, but that doesn't mean waiting can't be beneficial. There is strength in waiting, when we lean into God and enjoy His presence during the waiting period.

Taking Fear Out of Grief

Not a fun or lighthearted topic and yet sometimes I think we need to talk about it more; grief! God created us to feel sorrow, it's normal and grief is the process we take to accept situations of loss. But fear tends to creep into the equation where it doesn't belong.
Join me as we talk about removing fear from grief and letting our God of comfort bring us peace!
