    Never Take Revenge
    Jun 9 2024
    As we near the end of our examination of Romans 12, we come across a peculiar set of verses that talk about not seeking revenge.

    Enjoy Ordinary People
    May 12 2024
    Today we are continuing our walk through Romans 12, with an eye toward serving mental illness communities. We are looking at what in the world it means to enjoy ordinary people.

    Live in Harmony with Everyone
    May 5 2024
    Today we are continuing our walk through Romans 12, with an eye toward serving mental illness communities. Today, we talk about what it means in the context of mental illness communities to live in harmony.
