Gathering in person still matters.

In a world where connection is easier than ever from a distance, it can be tempting to believe that showing up physically no longer holds the same weight. Technology allows us to learn, worship, and communicate from almost anywhere, and in many seasons, that accessibility is a gift. But there are still moments, movements, and transformations that only happen when we gather face-to-face.

Have you ever prayed for God to give you something back, only to find He gave you something completely different instead?
