December 14, 2020

Whenever you make a big change, like starting a new business, moving to a new state, or getting married, there’s always at least a little bit of fear that comes with it. What if it doesn’t work out? What if things just get harder, or we end up losing everything? Sometimes, it’s easier to maintain the status quo. But Pastor J.D. explains that, if we want to do great things for God’s kingdom, it’s going to involve some risk! It’s the challenging conclusion of our series titled, Staying Faith.
