What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

you, your family, your church, your community during these days

living, how they've just really been down during these days and don't really want to go on.

They're still investigating all the details, but I immediately but my heart just sunk as I thought about a variety of

people who already struggle with, whether it's depression or anxiety or just desire to live

and how the circumstances we're walking through right now have made that even harder and I just want us to pray right now.

Psalm 118 verse verse 5, for anyone who is in that kind of circumstance,

who, for anyone who is in that kind of circumstance,
