56. Deeper Wells
1h 56m

In the final episode of season 4, we take a look at what it means to dig deeper wells with Jesus. This episode is broken up into 3 different segments. The first is a recap of all that transpired with our church during the first few months of the war. The second is a testimony from Phil and his friend Margo on their experiences in Ukraine during the war. And finally an epilogue of our staff’s takeaways during this season of ministry. The point of this final episode is not to draw a conclusion about what we did during this time. But what we gained by allowing God to have His way in this situation. Through it all, we learned more of the foundational truth that everyone always needs Jesus at the center of their lives.
