Join us as we explore how God equips those who answer His call, no matter how unprepared they might feel.Many of us are in what feels like the busiest season of our lives.

He is with us wherever we go.When we look at the assignment from God’s perspective instead of our own, we have the strength and power to forge ahead with joy…
