Taste and Seek

Taste and Seek

Can we truly taste and see God's goodness in our lives, or is it an empty invitation that leaves us longing and wanting more? Does God care about the mundane moments? Is he there in the waiting room? In our conversations, we will be diving into various topics with guests who will help us see God and his activity. We will be covering a wide spectrum of our lives' experiences ranging from parenting, mental health, loss, and our vocations. As a teacher, a mom, a wife, a workshop leader, my passion is to encourage you to seek God throughout your days and then equip those around you.
