The Significance of Delight

Like so many, the last couple of years have been the hardest I have ever faced, particularly as a pastor. It has included anxiety, heightened stress, grief, conflict management, depression, and more. I recently shared on my journey, how God met me in a profound way, having come to the end of myself this past July. Little did I know, the way to get what I truly needed, and where I truly needed to be, was found through delight. (An examination of Psalm 34:4, 23-24)

At What Cost, Pt. 2 | Harmony: Not a Laughing [at] Matter

The effectiveness of your communication is evaluated and proven by what it produces and sets in motion. So… What do you want?

It starts with taking hard and honest look at how, and what, you communicate.

THE Designer and Creator of our lives gives us clear instructions for living out our faith in community. When and how we show up in our church life significantly impacts God’s best... for us, through us and for others.
