How would you describe your faith journey?  Is it a well-established fire?  Is it warming? Comforting? Does it push away darkness?  Or is merely a spark? Not quite yet a flame?  Hardly casting a shadow.  These guided audio meditations will help recognize a spark from an encounter with God.  And watch the spark turn to flame.  Pushing out fear and darkness.

Let’s fight like God wants us to fight!

Of all the apostles, Paul’s conversion/calling story was arguably the most notable and miraculous, his assignment to take the Gospel to the Gentiles the most unique, and the tangible results of his obedience the most impressive by human standards. Even so, Paul did not operate as a lone wolf, set apart from the pack and self-sufficient. On the contrary, this hero of the Christian faith understood the essential role his brothers and sisters played in his life and stayed connected to them even when his assignment to preach and live truth called him away for long stretches of time.
