We have put together some content to help you through this Political season. Enjoy!
WEEK 1 | FOCUS
As followers of Jesus, how do we navigate this political season? How do we flourish? In this video we discuss the dangers of making an idol out of party, candidate, or cause. We also discuss the power of fear. How do we avoid these traps? By focusing on Jesus.
WEEK 2 | BE WISE
