The Porch and The Pulpit

As I celebrate 55 years of life, I'm taking time to reflect on the victories, the disappointments, the prayers God answered, the prayers He didn't answer, the lessons I've learned, and most importantly—the faithfulness of God through it all.

In this episode of The Porch & The Pulpit, we're talking about the importance of self-reflection—not to live in the past, but to learn from it, recognize our growth, and prepare ourselves for where God is taking us next.
