This month, Aaron Brockett, lead minister with Trader’s Point Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana will be helping us tackle the question of trust.  We know we don’t come into the world with trust issues, we develop them.

Jesus was a master communicator.  He used objects, humor, current events, historical reference, and poetry. But most of all, he told stories.  He knew that stories were impactful in the hearts and minds of people, that they remembered stories. He also knew that they were a way to help them gain a greater understanding about life: life with God, life with each other.   Our speakers this month; Mike Breaux and Gene Appel from East Side Christian Church in Anaheim, California, are sharing a few of deep powerful stories of Jesus, unpacking His teaching and the incredible impact they can have on our lives!   So… If God’s word was a seed, how well would it be growing in your soul?  Could it use a bit of Miracle-Grow?  …with a bit of spiritual gardening advice here’s Mike Breaux!
