It’s Not A “Yikes!” It’s A “Wow!”

The Bible validates the truth that sharing our faith is the most integral part of our faith. Yet we can’t share what we don’t have! But when we have wholehearted, unwavering faith, we can’t stop from sharing it and enjoying it.

Why the Mandate?

God’s mandate to us is to share the Gospel. But the disconnect most Christians have between their faith and their everyday lives is staggering.
