8 July 2025, 3:00 am - 32 minutes 56 secondsSabbatical, Seeking a City of Refuge
In 2024, I took a personal journey to seek refuge in the Lord. I meditated on Psalm 139, Proverbs 3, Luke 22, Isaiah 40, and everything in between byt following The Bible Recap. I did not record, publish or interview as I retreated to hear God's voice and will for my life and mininstry. How did he want to use this testimony I have been trusted with? I pray if my story offends or hurts anyone that you would forgive me and offer grace I don't deserve. I only want to serve the Lord. This is the story of why resting was needed and how my joy and hope have been restored.
