Series on Jesus and the Jubilee by Dr. John S. Bergsma (Part 1)
What does fasting in Lent mean to you and Jesus? Fasting on food for health benefits is good; however, fasting to bring us closer to a relationship with Jesus is something else entirely. Fasting is also an opportunity to feel the hunger in our bodies so that God can come and fulfill our hunger in the most profound ways. In this episode, we’ll dive deeper into fasting and how we can say No to ourselves through simple sacrifices and say Yes to create more space for intimacy with Jesus.

Discipleship Is a Team Sport
Discipleship is a team sport. Family—both through our natural families, and our supernatural family through baptism—and communion with others is an essential ingredient to the Christian life. Not that it will be easy…it won’t be. It is simple, but not easy. An encounter with family lived well is redeeming not because it’s perfect, but because…
