Tony D. Continues our discussion on taking off the mask. If we can remove the masks we will live in freedom.

How do we break free and face something that seems so incredible daunting?  How do we remove the mask and be the person God...

Tony D. continues our series on Pain. What happens if we look at how Jesus behaves knowing pain is coming? What would we see? Jesus is fully God and fully man.

We can see clearly the benefits that come from the hard journey.  So where...

Steve R. continues our series focusing on pain.  It's a topic nobody wants to face. We all wish we could be sharpened and strengthened without having to do the hard thing.

But how can we get through it?  As Steve looks at Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane he q...
