Join us as Pastor Robert Young unravels this intriguing question, offering profound insights into the distinct purposes these practices serve in spiritual growth.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone eager to enhance their spiritual understanding and practice, offering a fresh perspective on how these two practices can transform not only your connection with God but also your relationships with others.

  • Power Meditations!
    Oct 5 2024

    Send us a text

    We believe that scriptures have the ability to not only soothe our souls, but also to fuel our spirits with strength and courage. That’s why for the month of October, we will be diving deep into scriptures that are not only meditative, but also empowering. Scriptures such as Acts 1:8 where Jesus tells his disciple that they shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon them which will give them the strength to accomplish goals set forth by Christ himself. We see in the very next chapter that they gathered in an upper room to pray and wait for the promise of Jesus. And indeed the Holy Spirit did come as promised.

    These scriptures will encourage us to step into our God-given power, to face our challenges head on, and to live boldly and fearlessly. They will remind us of our inner Godly strength and resilience, and inspire us to tap into our full potential.
