Part 2 of our conversation about Brian Johnson's song, "I Still Believe." Wisdom from Marty's mom, and Scott's daughter. Lessons from David and Bathsheba. Is it crazy to suggest that worship is the best thing to do when the bottom falls out of our lives? Good news... Christmas is coming. God with us, Emmanuel. "We will say, He's right here with us!"As we mentioned last week, we encourage you to boldly seek out others if you're experiencing hardship. The things we battle would love nothing more than for you to be separated from however God would send help. That could be a friend, a parent, a sibling, a pastor, a mental health professional, studying the Bible, WORSHIPING, or so much more. Let's pursue wellness together.
