Breathing Underwater
If the year 2020 taught us anything, it reminded us just how temporary things can be on planet earth. This has been a season that begged us to stop and reflect, evaluate, and prioritize. Covid occasionally took our breath away ... stunned by the loved ones lost, career paths diverted, and the future covered in thick fog. Maybe there were days you felt you could hardly breathe, days you might have said, “I feel like I’m drowning.”
A new year brings the opportunity to hit the reset button and allow God to give you a whole new purpose, a new outlook, a renewed faith, and a commitment to what really matters. Join Senior Pastor Marty Grubbs for this new series which will show you how to “breathe” again, be free of worry and anxiety, gain a new perspective, and build a stronger faith.
