Today, we continue the conversation of our reverence with prayer with a special guest. Joel Sinclair and Tayler Burcham have a conversation on the way we view prayer and challenge ourselves in prayer as well.

We are back!! We are talking about a topic that we are so curious about. Is it rude to NOT remove your hat during the national anthem?? What are your thoughts? We share a bit of what we think here NOW!!

Our hearts are heavy over all the innocent lives and the events happening in Israel. There is so much swirling around between opinions and who to support, etc., that we came together as a team to pray. We know we are in a spiritual battle, and what better way to come to God and join the spiritual battle in prayer? Come pray alongside us today!
