Eddie and I keep talking about ALL the things:
God made you creative and your gifts have a purpose.
Carl and Laura Lentz walked through infidelity on a really public platform and since 2020 have put in the work towards restoration, redemption, and healing. When they realized there weren’t many books for couples walking through infidelity and betrayal, they felt the invitation to not only tell their story, but share the practical steps that have helped them stay together and heal.
Worship is something we can do anywhere, anytime, but I asked Dwan Hill today why corporate worship and gathering together matters. And you’re going to be so encouraged by his response. I love his heart for the Church and hearing the way he’s been uniquely gifted to help lead us all as we glorify God.
Poetry and liturgies and some of these quieter methods of worship are powerful and for a lot of people - their preferred way of worship.
