    22: Summer Essentials | Turn & Trust

    In this first episode of our Summer Essentials series, Lee Taylor and Student Pastor Logan Grantham explore one of the most foundational truths of the Christian faith: repentance and faith in Jesus. Using the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, they discuss what it means to “turn and trust,” how true life change begins with surrendering control to Christ, and why salvation is based on faith rather than good works. Along the way, they reflect on lessons learned from recent student mission trips, the challenges of sharing faith in a post-Christian culture, and practical ways parents can disciple their children at home. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, or anyone seeking to grow in your faith, this conversation will help you better understand the heart of the gospel and how to pass it on to the next generation.
