This series, Soul Care, will explore how to take care of your soul… the most important part of you.

“Where were you, God? I can't see your hand in my story. Your heart might be good, just not to me.” In this devotional, you will learn that God offers a clear way out of our doubt—by getting our eyes off our surroundings and raising them to places that serve as symbols of God’s faithfulness. Because God’s brought you this far, He won’t stop now.

At the start and middle of the year, we gather together to pray and fast so we can continue hearing from God and align to His will. God calls us into a greater desire for His Word so it may nurture, nourish, sustain, ignite, and bear fruit in our lives.

Every year, we take time to pray and fast to continue hearing from God and knowing what He is telling us to do.

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming.

The end of a year brings time to reflect upon all that was and all that God has done, and to start to prepare and hope for all that is to come in the new year. It’s also a time for us to think about where our heart is when it comes to God and His will and purpose for our life; to perform a heart check – to put things in place and align our heart to Him as we step into a new year.

We reap what we sow. That may be the most sobering statement in the Bible as we tend to take the path of least resistance. Trying to parent, husband, and lead from the couch rarely bears fruit. Join us as we dig deep into what good growth looks like in our walk.
