Perfection Is A Game

September 17, 2021 Speaker: Luann Prater & Tracey Eyster At some point we’ve all tried the power of positive thinking. How long did that last, an hour maybe two?

Only Mention Good

August 20, 2021 Speaker: Luann Prater & Matthew Sink Sometimes God opens doors and other times we break them down, because we WANT it to be God’s call on our life.

What about when God opens a door and it’s not the door we wanted… well then God is obviously a man, because He is reading my signals all wrong, right? Pull up a chair as Luann Prater and Matthew Sink talk about God’s call for our lives and how we can live it out… even when it’s not exactly the way we planned it.

God's Call
