Small Yeses Lead to Big Moves of GodSometimes obedience to God’s small nudges leads to massive spiritual breakthroughs. They explore why daily faithfulness matters more than grand gestures. Healing Church HurtMany believers are wounded by past church experiences. They talk about why poor execution shouldn’t cause us to give up on the church’s mission. Leading with Love in a Divided WorldThey explore how political and social divides have made it harder to love others—and why the church must set the example for unity and grace. Creating Space for RestorationThey reflect on how the church can be a place of healing and redemption—even for those who have fallen or walked away.
