Join us as we discuss how to grow in faith, tap into your divine source of strength, and live with the confidence that comes from being on the winning side.

{434 in Motion] The Origin of the Dream of Freedom (s1e13) - Why Gratitude is the Heart of the American Dream

America began as more than just a political experiment; it was a quest for religious freedom—a "church start" on a national scale.

Drawing from Psalm 107:1, this message explores the vital importance of acknowledging that we stand on the shoulders of those who sacrificed everything to secure our liberties.
