Have you ever wondered why change seems so intimidating, even when we genuinely crave it? This week, Pastor Chris exposes the reasons we often cling to familiar habits and mindsets, even when they no longer serve us. Ephesians 4 holds the key to breaking free from these patterns and achieving lasting transformation. Join us as we continue our ‘Triumphant Life’ series exploring together how God’s unwavering truth can empower us to make choices that lead to personal growth, bringing meaningful changes to our lives.
