In this podcast, we talked about how camping can help you connect with God. We believe the farther you are away from the busy normal life the easier it is to hear God's voice. Camping can be one of the best ways to do this by getting out in the wilderness for an extended period of time God can meet you there. We mentioned the reason why we like camping so much and a few ways to get into it if you have not been before. We hope this encourages you to go camping whether that's just around the corner or across the country. Please let us know how you get into camping!

In this podcast, we talked about the racial divide within the United States and our duty as Christians to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God in the pursuit of racial reconciliation. We are joined by Tyler Allison, our good friend, and brother in Christ. He presented us with a Christian perspective on racial reconciliation and walked us through some of his experiences as a black man living in the United States. Together we had a conversation over Imago Dei, which is the truth that all human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. Lastly, Ty shared his encounters with God in nature and ended the conversation with a prayer seeking healing for both individual souls and for our nation, which can only come through Christ.
