...Dawn & Steve+ C. S. Lewis: Further Up & Further In with Max McLean
Max McLean's story is fascinating and his life has blended with C. S. Lewis and the Bible, through the years. As an adult who thought Jesus was a fairytale, Max came to faith in Him over time and truth, then the Bible came alive. One of C. S. Lewis's works hooked Max into what faith and following Jesus really looks like. As a brilliant theologian who was "The Most Reluctant Convert", Lewis still speaks truth to society today. Now you can see part of his life on stage!

It's a slow fade and one degree off course leads down a path that we never set out to walk. When the Bible shows us the course-correction and we choose to ignore it, we find ourselves broken, angry, sad, and in a mess and sometimes blaming God. There's a choice to be made: God's authority or our own. (reference to sermon by Steve Willis)

Dawn & Steve+ Mental Health: Phil Herndon | What's the Big Deal about Telling Your Story?
Telling "your story" has much more benefit than just airing dirty laundry or nursing a grudge. God created us for relationship. Containing one another's story is a Gift because God is a relational God and invites us to a relationship with Him and with one another. There is pain in the journey as well as grace. How do we get through one to the other?
