What if the key to enduring life’s toughest storms and enjoying its greatest triumphs has less to do with what’s happening around you and more to do with what’s happening inside you? This week, Pastor Chris shows us that our soul—the true essence of who we are—is where our deepest desires, drive, and priorities live. He’ll be sharing how we can build a robust soul that thrives on the challenges and joys of life. Imagine facing each day with a soul so strong that nothing can shake your peace or steal your joy. That’s not just wishful thinking; it’s a promise grounded in truth and action.
Join us as we explore how we can partner with God in this process, ensuring that our souls aren’t just going through the motions, but growing, stretching, and reaching for something extraordinary – transforming our lives today and echoing into eternity.
