PRESENCE, Part 1, Peace With God—Responding to Divine Invitation
From Series: "PRESENCE"
We live in uncertain times. A lot of people feel maxed out, worn out, worried and tense. Studies indicate that Americans are becoming more and more anxious all the time. Are we? Any idea why? There are remedies popping up all over the country. From meditation apps to tranquility playlists on Spotify everyone is trying to mitigate the feelings. The volume of prescriptions for sedatives like Vallium and Xanex is skyrocketing. Come join us at ENCOUNTER for a 3-part series called PRESENCE. It’s all about taking the weight of the world off our shoulders. I’ve been working on this series for weeks, and I’m excited to share it with you. There’s a better way to live.
