By Josh Luse Did you need Jesus today? You’re probably saying, "Of course!", but how did you lean on him? Where did you see him at work? How did he shape your thoughts and flow through the things you did? I don’t know what you think of when you hear the word “gospel.” Some may …

Jesus Is God
For our third week of Advent, we throw back to 2014 and this post by Shereen which rings as true today as it did then. It comes up too often to ignore, to push aside and move on. Whether lingering over warm cups in my favorite coffee shop, sitting face-to-face at the kitchen table, or …
