This is the second part of the discussion Katie Lewis from Bountiful Living and I have about what we can learn about suffering from the book of Job and the Bible.

James1:2-4

Job 1:21
And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;...

Jess catches up on the last month of holiday craziness and talks about the season we are in with Christmas just a few weeks away. There is a time for everything under the sun as the scripture in Ecclesiastes says, so let's try to make this time the season for joy, dancing and laughing!

to loose the chains of injustice

She's Back! Jess talks about how Paul showed us in 1 Corinthians  3 to be servants of Jesus working together that will build something that will last.

1 Corinthians 3:5-17
The Role of God’s Servants

5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plant...
