In Spirit & Truth

It’s safe to say that most people today struggle with anxiety. Pastor JD is here to talk about how we should be joyful because we know the truth of God.

Do you ever get defensive when someone corrects you? Now, sometimes the corrector doesn’t say it kindly, but nevertheless, Pastor JD reminds us today that it’s the attitude of a wise man to take correction and admit he’s wrong.
