"I try to pray. I know I should pray. But, what am I supposed to say? How or when or where?” It’s OK. We all know we need to pray. We NEED to connect with God.

Join Pastor Justin Miller as he gets real about how to have a better prayer...

Are you Ready for a Revival in your spiritual life? Last week, Pastor J talked about how we need to Repent before that Revival can happen. This week, we’re ready to move forward.
