Chasing Truth and Finding Jesus in the Midst of it All
The Word of God is bigger than we can fathom and the meaning behind scripture can be a mystery. But in the unfolding nature of His Word, we can rest and find joy in knowing there is a lifetime of walking with Him where we can begin to understand Him more and more.
In this episode hosted by Eric Ryan, with insights from Jimmy Kim, Tony Thomas, and Ryan Brown, we delve into the “Chasing Truth” series, discussing the intersection of God’s glory and our joy, the significance of the cross, and the transformative power of scripture.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages deeper reflection and spiritual growth.
