One of Second Baptist Church’s values is showing open-hearted hospitality, and wow, they sure did! Partnering with several co-host churches in the area, they hosted over 1200 women from all over, and just to hear everyone together laughing and worshiping was like a preview of what we’ll experience in Heaven.

Why I’m Calling Next Year Twenty Twenty-Thrive

Fresh Grounded Faith Farewell

Hey, hey! I’ve got some news for you about next year…

One of my favorite things in the whole world is savoring an excellent cup of coffee with a few friends in the warm, fragrant setting of a good coffee shop. There’s just something about being surrounded by the laughter, the conversations, the music, and the scent of freshly roasted beans that settles me down and lifts me up.

That’s the flavor I’ve tried to capture at Fresh Grounded Faith conferences for over 15 years now.

The city was still healing from the devastating blows of Hurricane Helene, with many of the 1,000 attendees having just regained power the previous week. Some had lost homes, trees, and—most heartbreakingly—loved ones. Yet, amid their trials, they chose to gather and find solace in God’s grace.
