In a socially isolated, socially-distant, self-centered society, real community often falls to the wayside. Let's explore the power of community and doing life together.

When is the last time you put yourself in a position to fail?
"If you never set yourself up to fail then you never set yourself up to grow.” that's the truth that Pastor Khalil unpacks today.

Have you ever asked yourself if faith in Jesus even works? Does it do anything? Does it change anything? If you've wrestled with questions like this, hit play as we wrestle with the purpose of faith and what Jesus has to say to our question.
