Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) “We won’t be distracted by comparison if we are captivated with purpose.” These words by Bob Goff jump right to the heart of the matter, don't they?

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) Most of what we've heard about regarding grief in modern culture is that there are 5 stages -- and that once we get to acceptance we've completed the grieving process.

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) It's the last #podcast of our throwback Be Prayerful series, and we're focusing on probably the hardest topic of all -- unanswered prayer.
