Isn't it easy to fall into addictions? And isn't it very hard to break free from them? It's easy to get out of shape, but hard to get into shape.

But what about the person who hates you, curses you, angers you, hurts you, steals from you, or hits you? That's a different story! While easy choices may offer temporary comfort– true freedom and lasting joy often lie on the other side of difficult decisions. But how can we reach that other side? How is it practically possible? And why should we even attempt to do so?Join us today for the last week of our series filled with abundance and peace, Overflow.
