    Got a question? Let us know!Ever feel like it's easier to quit than to commit? This week, we're talking about faithfulness—what it really means to stay when it'd be easier to walk away. We're looking at how culture treats loyalty like a points system and how that mindset shows up in our relationships. Through the story of Ruth and Naomi, and the faithfulness of God shown in Jesus, we're asking: what would our church and community look like if we chose to show up, even when it's hard?#Faithfulness #WhatOurWorldNeedsNow #PodcastConversation #RealTalk #BelieversChurchStay Connected Website: https://believerschurch.org/ Believers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/believerschurch.va/ Believers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/believers_church/
