Worship In The Woods

When someone asks why you believe in Jesus, are you ready to answer? In this episode of Worship in the Woods, we dive into 1 Peter 3:15 and the call for every Christian to always be prepared to give an account for the hope we carry.

Before you ever step foot in the stand, a wise hunter checks the trail cams. Why? Because they reveal what’s been moving when no one’s watching. In this episode of Worship in the Woods, we take that same concept into the spiritual life.
