Have you finished your DTS and now you're back home, wondering where to go from here?

Saying “YES” To God, Even When It Doesn’t Make Sense
Last Fall/Winter I had the privilege of leading a School of Worship outreach team! The plan was to spend 2.5 months in Scotland with a small team of 3.

“Yes, God”
Walking in obedience with the Lord is something we as Christians always strive for. We want that close relationship with Jesus that helps us walk the Christian walk that is described to us in the Bible.
