Even though it may not seem like it as we are trying to find our way in a pre/mid/post covid world, but we are STILL ON A MISSION—The Great Commission, that is. Our families, friends, work, church, and faith need us to reengage. We may be the only Jesus they see.

It’s a journey on what it means to be a Christian. It’s a story in which you have a role to play.

The first of Paul’s three “pastoral epistles,” 1 Timothy focuses on the church as a “pillar and buttress of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15).

I pray the Lord will give you an awareness of timidity in your life and will guide you as you overcome it.
