Growing Forward Through Surrendered Grace

Run Toward the Giant
As the Day Begins “The battle is the Lord’s.” — 1 Samuel 17:47 There are moments in life when fear stands in front of us like Goliath—large, loud, and seemingly immovable.

As the Day Begins “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” — John 15:13 When most of us think about assets, we think in measurable terms—equity, portfolios, savings, property.
