To Know God & Make Him Known
Looking back on my DTS I can’t help but feel like it was a dream. It was such a beautiful experience that I am so thankful to have had, even though it ended sooner than I had ever anticipated. DTS was a season of “refining” for me. I use the word refining because there were …

Worship is such a cool thing, it’s so cool, not to be repetitive but it is so cool. I learned pretty young that worship was a lot more than someone singing a song while the congregation clapped along. I was blessed enough to grow up in a house where worship was in everything, despite the …
