What happens when life feels uncertain?In this week's episode of Sermon Spotlight, Rose Lauck sits down with Caleb Pearson and Cole McQuaid to dive deeper into Sunday's message, “The Fear of Uncertainty,” from Colossians 3:1–4.Together, they unpack what it means to set our minds on things above and how our identity in Christ transforms the way we face fear, instability, and the unknown.This episode is a reminder that our certainty is not found in circumstances, outcomes, or control—but in Jesus Himself.

In this week's episode of Sermon Spotlight, we unpack 1 Peter 1 and the powerful truth of a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.Mark Francis is joined by apprentices Josh Patterson and Michael Wiseman. This conversation explores what it means to live in light of the resurrection—not just in theory, but in the middle of real-life suffering, uncertainty, and fear.We wrestle with questions like: Why does God allow suffering?  How does fear connect to the anticipation of pain?  What does it actually look like to trust God in difficult seasons?  How does the resurrection change the way we face trials? From personal stories of job loss and growth to deeper theological reflection, this episode reminds us that suffering isn't meaningless—and that our hope is grounded in something real: a risen Savior.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/#SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #FaithInEverydayLife #kindness #Godiskind #kindnessofGod #resurrection #nomorefear #fear #fearoverfaith

In this week's Sermon Spotlight, we continue our “No More Fear” series by diving deeper into one of the most foundational truths of the Christian life: identity.Tim Sanford is joined by Jessica Oplack and Mark Francis for an honest and practical conversation about fear, faith, and what it really means to be “alive to God.” Together, they wrestle with questions many of us are asking: Is fear a sin—or something more complex?  What do we do with anxiety, trauma, or emotional reactions?  How does our identity in Christ reshape the way we think, feel, and respond? Through real-life examples, personal stories, and biblical truth from Romans 6, this episode challenges us to move beyond surface-level thinking and into the freedom that comes from knowing who we are in Christ.If you've ever struggled with fear, people-pleasing, anxiety, or finding your worth in the wrong places—this conversation is for you.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/#SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #FaithInEverydayLife #kindness #Godiskind #kindnessofGod #resurrection #nomorefear #fear #fearoverfaith

Hunter Mayo (Pastor of Family Ministry), Brian Weir (Pastor of Kids Ministry), and Caleb Pearson (Director of Student Ministry) explore the importance of partnering with parents in faith formation, passing the torch to the next generation, and creating opportunities for meaningful family and church engagement. They share vision, strategies, and upcoming events to strengthen family ministry at Fellowship Bible Church.

In this episode of Sermon Spotlight, we take a deeper dive into the message “From Fear to Faith”—part of our No More Fear: Living Life with the Living Savior series.Join Rose, Tim, and Cole as they unpack one of the most thought-provoking questions from the sermon: Is fear actually sin?This conversation doesn't shy away from the tension. Instead, it leans into it—exploring the difference between emotion and response, the role of our thought patterns, and what it really looks like to trust God instead of trying to “fix” ourselves.Ultimately, this episode points us back to the hope of the resurrection—reminding us that we're not just saved from something, but into a life of peace, rest, and growing trust in Christ.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/#SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #FaithInEverydayLife #kindness #Godiskind #kindnessofGod #resurrection #nomorefear #fear #fearoverfaith

What if the way the Gospel of Mark ends is actually meant to challenge you?In this episode of Sermon Spotlight, the team dives into one of the most unique—and unsettling—endings in Scripture: Gospel of Mark chapter 16. Why does it end in fear? And what does that mean for us today?As Fellowship Bible Church begins the new series No More Fear, this conversation explores the tension between fear and faith, the reliability of Scripture through textual criticism, and the life-changing power of the resurrection.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/#SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark15 #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #FaithInEverydayLife #kindness #Godiskind #kindnessofGod #easter #resurrection #nomorefear #Mark16 

What does it actually mean that Jesus is alive?In this special Easter episode of Sermon Spotlight, the team reflects on the power of the resurrection and why it changes everything—not just for eternity, but for how we live right now.After walking through the book of Mark for over a year, this conversation brings it all together:The Suffering Servant and Mighty MessiahThe reality of the empty tomb Why the disciples responded with fear—and how we often do the same How forgetting the resurrection leads us back into fear and self-reliance What it looks like to live with confidence, hope, and bold faith today You'll also hear reflections on Easter weekend, the beauty of the church body working together, and how God uses every detail to point us back to Him.The message is simple but life-changing: 

In this episode, we explore Mark 15 and reflect on the weight of Holy Week—unpacking powerful themes like the fulfillment of Psalm 22, the suffering of Christ, and the profound reality of substitution through Barabbas. Together, we wrestle with what Jesus endured, why it matters, and how it shapes the way we live today.As we reflect on the cross, we're reminded: Jesus didn't just die—He chose to suffer in our place.Take time this week to sit in the weight of what He has done—and let it draw you closer to Him.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ #SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark14 #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #FaithInEverydayLife #kindness #Godiskind #kindnessofGod #easter

Message SlidesStanding Out in the Crowd - SwindollThe Liberty of Salvation - Edmund ClowneyApplication: 1 Peter 4:1-6 - Scot McKnightINTRODUCTION: Patterns for Preaching in Peter and PaulFollow this ExampleBe willing to suffer rather than sin.• Example: The suffering of Christ is the supreme example (4:1a).• Commitment: Be ready and willing to suffer instead of sinning. (4:1b).• Submission: Be ready and willing to suffer to live for the will of God (4:2).Do Not Follow This ExampleLeave your past life behind.• Out of Time: Your pre-conversion life is in your past (4:3a).• Out of Control: Your pre-conversion life was out of control (4:3b).• Out of Sync: Your post-conversion is strange to others (4:4).• Out of Appeals: Everyone will eventually give an account (4:5).• Out of Excuses: Everyone will be judged fairly (4:6).Choosing to follow in the footsteps of Christ's sufferingmay alienate you from the world as you avoid sinful livingbut provides you with the satisfaction of identification with Christ.‘Make the Application“Read the Scriptures, not as one who goes to a wardrobeto take an inventory of clothes, but as one who goes thereto find something to wear.” John DonneHome Church Questions1. Read Philippians 2:1-11. This parallel passage to Peter's teaching in 1 Peter 4:1-2 expands on the truth found there. Both passages encourage us to follow the example of Christ. How does Philippians 2:1-11 give you additional hope, confidence, and courage for your own suffering?2. In the Bible Belt, how do you resist the pull of the American Dream while still accepting that suffering is often part of God's will for us? How do you pursue faithfulness to Christ when the surrounding culture constantly pressures you to seek comfort, success, and security—especially when Scripture teaches that hardship and self-denial are frequently God's will for believers?3. In the most practical way you can, articulate what it means to “arm yourself” with the same attitude Christ had when He suffered? Can you give any examples of when you have done this?4. Jesus, far beyond any of us, suffered when He did not deserve it. How does this frame our response when we recognize that our suffering is also undeserved? Are we entitled to a life of blessing?5. Have you ever experienced rejection by a past community because you chose to live according to your Christian convictions? Have you ever remained quiet about your Christian practices in order to avoid this?6. What about your current way of living as a believer and faithful follower of Christ is seen by unbelievers as, in the words of Nijay Gupta's book, “Strange Religion?”UPG FOCUS: Pray for the Tai Do in LaosThe Tai Do are a small ethnic group living primarily in central Laos, with a few communities in Vietnam. They follow traditional animistic beliefs, seeking to appease spirits for protection and blessing. Only a small number of believers are known among them, and Scripture translation has just begun. Pray that the growing number of Tai Do Christians would remain strong in faith, that the gospel would spread to every village, and that many would come to know Jesus as Lord.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 03/01 22,132Giving For 03/08 48,141 YTD Budget 1,246,154Giving 1,588,461 OVER/(UNDER) 342,307Fellowship Men's MusterMen's Muster is April 17-19, 2026.

Christ Also Suffered1 Peter 3:18-22Message SlidesWho Are the Sons of God in Genesis 6?- Cook For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. We can be confident in suffering because Christ also suffered. We can be confident in suffering because of Christ's victory. We can be confident in suffering because it is the path to glory.Home Church Questions1. What is an example of a time in your life when you have experienced suffering? Why does suffering often shock us and knock us down?2. One reason we can be confident in God in our suffering is that Christ also suffered (1 Peter 3:18). Why should it encourage us in our suffering to know that Christ also suffered? 3. What are some examples of ways that our suffering is like His suffering? Read 1 Peter 3:18 and highlight some ways Jesus' suffering is different from our suffering? 4. Have you ever considered walking away from the faith because of suffering you have experienced? What encouragement would you give to someone who was wrestling with this?5. While we might not be able to answer all the questions we have about this passage, one clear point is that we should be encouraged in our suffering because of Christ's victory (1 Peter 3:22). Since God is in control in our suffering, we can learn some valuable lessons. What are some lessons God wants us to learn in our suffering? What are some lessons you have learned?6. Another reason we can be confident in our suffering is that it is the path to glory. Christ's suffering led to glory, and we are called to follow in his steps (1 Peter 2:21). One way we follow Him is by getting baptized (1 Peter 3:21). Share with the group about your baptism experience and your understanding of what it means.7. We experienced communion this past Sunday, and we said baptism and the Lord's Supper are related. What are some similarities between baptism and the Lord's Supper? How should our experience of baptism and the Lord's Supper encourage us when we are suffering? Pray for the Unreached: The Deha in IndiaThe Deha are a small Hindu people group in northern India who speak Hindi as well as their own community language. Traditionally known for weaving winnowing fans, many now sell cloth and work in small trades. They worship Hindu deities such as Kali and rely on their own religious specialists for ceremonies. Though the Bible and gospel resources exist in Hindi, there are no known believers among them. Pray for spiritual openness, growing literacy, and for the Deha to discover lasting hope in Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 02/22 30,796Giving For 03/01 22,132YTD Budget 1,211,538Giving 1,540,050 OVER/(UNDER) 328,512 Fellowship Youth & College Silent Auction | TONIGHT | 4 pm - 6pmJoin us tonight for a fun and meaningful evening as we support our mission trips to Arlington, TX, and the Czech Republic!

This week on Sermon Spotlight, host Rose Lauck is joined by Abby Linaburg and Pastor Mark Carey to unpack a powerful follow-up to Mark 13.Building on Jesus' teaching about His return in the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Mark led us to 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11 — where Paul echoes the same themes of watchfulness, hope, and readiness.In a world filled with global tension and uncertainty, this conversation reminds us that Christ's return is not meant to create fear — but confidence.Because Jesus died for us, we are not destined for wrath.Because He is coming again, we are called to stay awake.Because we belong to the day, we live differently.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ #SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark13 #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #FaithInEverydayLife #Discipleship #FollowingJesus #DayoftheLord #escatology #Biblestudy

This week, several of our global partners at Fellowship Bible Church joined us for a panel discussion. They walk with Brent and Kenzie about what it is like to be a global worker overseas, what God is doing across the world, how to know what God is calling you to do, and so much more. At Fellowship, our goal is to make disciples who make disciples who live by God's grace and for his glory at home and across the world, and on this panel we got to see a glimpse at how God is using Fellowship to make a global impact! We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you!

Life in a Great Marriage(1 Peter 3:1-7)Message SlidesHousehold Expectations in the First Century - NIV Study BibleGod, Sex & Marriage - SlatteryBeyond Crotchety Husbands and Onery Wives - SwindollPeter on Marriage - Allen RossThe Significance for Marriage Today - Karen JobesMarriage - J.I. PackerSubmission - Jim SamraFor the bulletin in PDF form, click here.Definitions: • Marriage: One man and one woman in a covenant relationship of mutual submission and love for life. • Wives: God's gracious gift of beauty, reflecting His grace given to men as an asset to complete and redeem them. • Husbands: God's gracious gift of strength, reflecting God's power given to women as an asset to complete and redeem them.Words for WivesSubmit to God's will for your husband. • The Command: Submission is a proper response to authority which maintains dignity, honor & equality as a reflection of the Trinity and takes place in the context of mutual submission (3:1a) •. The Context: Disobedient Husbands—ἀπειθεω (apeitheo) disobedient, antagonistic, apathetic to the Word and will of God (3:1b) • The Outcome: Won Over to God's Will —the goal is spiritual growth (3:1c) • The Manner: Quiet and Gentle Spirit—without nagging, but with quiet confidence in the Lord and your love for your husband on full display (3:1d-2) • The Misunderstanding: Outward Beauty vs. Inward Beauty—Character counts more than physical appeal with these important matters (3:3-4) • The Example: Sarah in Genesis —she knew God's will for Abraham and moved toward the realization of that goal 18 (3:5-6a) • The Challenge: Fear— (3:6b)Help for HusbandsWith growing insight, respect your wife as a gift from God. • The Command: Be Considerate—γνωσις keen knowledge, insight, and tact (3:7a) • The Context: You Live with Them—a growing relationship of honor & dignity (3:7b) • The Manner: Treat Them with Respect—απονεμοντες τιμην (rendering honor, respect), acknowledging their value with gratitude, honor, respect (3:7c) • The Need: Fragile Equal Partners—equal but different (3:7d) • The Outcome: Answered Prayer—The health of your marriage is a spiritual matter (3:7e)Marriages with spiritually strategic, submissive wivesand intentionally insightful, respectful husbandsmake the gospel look good.“Sanctify Christ as Lord in Your Heart”Furthermore, it is my firm conviction that we have placed the wrongemphasis on the word “submission”; we have also been preoccupiedwith “what we can do” and “what our rights are,” whereas the biblicalinjunction is that the wife ought to give her life to her husband, “to serve andcherish him” and the husband ought to lay down his life for his wife. Scot McKnightHome Church Questions 1. How does Peter define marriage in this passage—as a personal relationship, a spiritual partnership, or a gospel witness? How does viewing marriage primarily as a platform for God's glory reshape our expectations of it?2. How does the fact that we are to submit to God's will for our marriages—not our spouse's will for us—change your view of your role in your marriage?3. In verses 1–2, why does Peter address wives first, and how does submission function as obedience to God rather than submission to sin or abuse?4. What does Peter mean when he says a husband may be “won without a word” (3:1)? How does godly conduct communicate the gospel more powerfully than arguments or pressure?5. How do verses 3–4 challenge cultural ideas of beauty, worth, and influence—especially for women? What does cultivating a “quiet and gentle spirit” look like in today's fast-paced and opinion-driven culture?6. Why does Peter point to Sarah as an example in verses 5–6, and how does faith-driven obedience overcome fear in marriage? What categories of fear commonly hinder trust in God's design for marriage today?7. According to verse 7, what responsibilities does Peter place on husbands, and why is spiritual leadership inseparable from consideration and honor? How does treating a wife as an “equal heir of the grace of life” challenge passive or authoritarian models of leadership?8. Peter warns that mistreating one's wife can hinder prayer (3:7). How does this connection between marriage and spiritual life reinforce the idea that marriages with submissive wives and respectful husbands make the gospel visible and credible?UPG FOCUS: The Mussali in PakistanThe Mussali are a marginalized Muslim people in Punjab, Pakistan, historically forced into Islam and carrying low social status. Many work in sanitation and other overlooked jobs. Though New Testament resources exist in their language, few have heard the gospel. Pray that God would stir spiritual hunger among the Mussali, raise up workers, and reveal Christ as their true hope.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 02/01 378,325Giving For 02/08 60,963YTD Budget 1,107,692Giving 1,424,238 OVER/(UNDER) 316,546 Fellowship Youth & College Silent Auction | March 8 | 4 pm - 6pmJoin us for a fun evening supporting our mission trips to Arlington, TX, and the Czech Republic!

This week on Sermon Spotlight, host Rose Lauck is joined by Pastor Tim Sanford and Cole McQuaid to reflect on a sermon that stepped slightly outside our journey through the Gospel of Mark — but not really.After studying Mark 12:41–44 (the widow's offering), this episode continues exploring giving — not as a fundraising pitch, but as a lens for discipleship. Why does the topic of money come with so much baggage in the church? What does it mean to give out of grace rather than guilt? And how do we guard our hearts from both stinginess and over-giving?This conversation ultimately points back to grace: following Jesus isn't about earning His favor. It's about trusting Him to grow us — even in the messy, uncomfortable areas of discipleship.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ #SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark12 #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #FaithInEverydayLife #Discipleship #FollowingJesus

This week on Sermon Spotlight, the conversation centers on Mark 12:35–40, as host Rose is joined by Cole McQuaid and Caleb Pearson. Set just days before the cross, this moment in Mark's Gospel marks Jesus' final public teaching in the temple—a powerful confrontation that exposes false religion and reveals the true authority of the Messiah.This thoughtful, honest conversation challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level belief and ask hard questions about where assurance, worship, and obedience truly come from.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ #SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark12 #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #FaithInEverydayLife #Discipleship #FollowingJesus

This week on Sermon Spotlight, host Mark Francis is joined by Abby Linaburg and Pastor Mark Carey to take a deeper dive into Mark 11–12, a pivotal section of Scripture that takes place during the final week of Jesus' earthly ministry.The conversation explores Jesus' authority, the relentless questioning by the religious leaders, and the profound meaning behind some of His most challenging teachings — including the parable of the tenants, paying taxes to Caesar, the greatest commandment, and the rejection of the Messiah.Rich with theology, biblical insight, and practical application, this conversation encourages listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and live out the truth of God's Word with conviction and hope.Listen to the sermon we're talking about: fbcva.org/current-sermon-series or fbcva.org/podcastsBe a part of the conversation by submitting your thoughts and questions: fbcva.org/sermon-spotlight-podcastWatch this episode and subscribe on YouTube:  @fellowshipbiblechurchvaFind out more about Fellowship Bible Church: fbcva.orgSubscribe to emails from Fellowship: fbcva.org/subscribeEngage with us:Facebook: facebook.com/groups/fellowshipfamInstagram: instagram.com/fellowshipbiblechurch/ #SermonSpotlight #FellowshipBibleChurch #FBCVA #Mark12 #ChristianPodcast #BibleTeaching #Fellowship #faithineverydaylife #followingJesus #Discipleship

Crawford is leading us through a series of messages called, “For His Kingdom”… it’s a study in the NT book of Matthew. In a few moments, we’ll hear the rest of the message Crawford began last week about retaliation. The scribes and Pharisees of Jesus day were known to pull this on occasion in order to maintain their perverted desire to manipulate people while appearing to be righteous. But before we get to the rest of the message let’s check in with Crawford real quick here. We’re in Matthew 5: 38 thru 42. Crawford, we’re seeing how Jesus has been outlining several ways in which the Scribes and Pharisees come up short in their religious posturing. Here’s Crawford speaking to the congregation of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, GA. Part 2 of his message titled, A Good Fight here on Living a Legacy.

Dr. Loritts is the President and Founder of Beyond Our Generation, an organization committed to helping the next generation of Christian leaders. He is a nationally known speaker, author, mentor, and the former Senior Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, Georgia.

In last week's conversation with Chad and Ronni Fellers (listen HERE), we heard the story of their son Paxton—his adoption, his joy-filled spirit, and the day their lives changed forever. We also heard how grief has forced them to wrestle deeply with their faith and the goodness of God in the wake of profound loss.In today's episode, part two of our conversation, we focus on something many grieving hearts struggle to understand: lament. Chad and Ronni speak honestly about what it means to bring their pain, their questions, even their anger to God—not as a lack of faith, but as a vital expression of it. As Ronni puts it, “When you're wrestling with someone, you're face to face. And if I'm still wrestling with God, it means I haven't turned away.”We talk about how lament has shaped their grief, their marriage, their parenting, and their perspective on worship. Ronni shares the story behind her blog, The God Kiss, and the healing she's found in writing her wrestle.This conversation is a powerful reminder that God welcomes our sorrow—and meets us there with His presence. We'll pick up right where we left off last week.Click HERE to watch the Fellers' video testimony produced by Fellowship Bible Church.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.
