"There are facets of the gospel that actually match my relational challenges, and I find new motivation to keep going where things might be broken"

Join Amelia Rhodes, Stephen Lewis and Teaching Pastor Jeff Manion for Season 7 Episode 4 of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast! We continue to dive into how our Gospel Shaped Identity shapes critical elements of our lives.

Episode four is filled to the brim with practical applications and takeaways.
