Why Not the Best? The Soldier

What does it truly mean to give God our best? Join us as we look at some powerful lessons we can learn from a soldier’s life to help deepen our faith and encourage us to give God our best. We’ll explore the strength found in unity, the importance of preparing for spiritual battles, and how our individual contributions weave into the greater mission God has for us. It’s about more than just showing up; it’s about being fully equipped, deeply connected, and ready to stand firm in our faith together.
