  • What Really Matters In The Church Today

    There’s something I’ve been carrying in my heart, and I finally shared it in my latest podcast episode titled “Let’s Refocus: What Really Matters In The Church Today.” We’ve become so caught up in discussions—about tithing, gospel artists, how worship should look—that we’ve lost sight of the heart of the Gospel.
