    We're All in Need

    Ian and Josh dive deep into a powerful truth: we often overlook our own needs, believing others are the ones who need help more than we do. But when we stop pushing our needs aside and embrace them, we realize something profound—we, and everyone around us are in desperate need, and only Jesus can truly supply those needs. Join Josh and Ian as they discuss how recognizing our mutual need for Christ opens the door to deeper connection, humility, and understanding. Everyone has something to offer, but ultimately, it's only through Jesus that we can all be fully healed and made whole.
