How many time have you heard this? Or maybe have even used it yourself? I know I have. I just read an article, “Confronting the lie: God won’t give you more than you can handle” by Pastor Nate Pyle from Christ’s Community Church in Fishers, Indiana. It made me go, “Huh?!” It doesn’t actually say … Read More
It’s been over seven months since Dude and I quit our day jobs. It’s been a journey of discovering our passions and talents and looking for ways to bless others with the gifts we have been given. It’s been about taking what we know and trying to make a difference. But the road is long, … Read More
