Does this surprise you too?! It’s not checking everything off your list – because eventually more will be added in.

12.22 Behind-the-Scenes Conversations, with Asheritah & Hannah Dec 17, 2024 1998 What image comes to mind when you hear the word prayer? What if prayer became less of a regular spiritual chore and more of a conversational friendship with God? What if God invites us to an ongoing exchange of whispers throughout our day—us whispering to Him and Him whispering right back to our hearts? What if our prayer lives reflected equitable amounts of both talking and listening? In those pl

12.18 Behind-the-Scenes Conversations, with Asheritah & Hannah Dec 3, 2024 2915 We tend to think of worship as the singing that happens in church on Sunday mornings. Some of us enjoy that more than others, and it’s easy to dismiss worship as something a worship team does.

How we l
