This is a great- treat for you today. So if you don't know if gathering is right around the corner y'all it is happening March 5th and 6th and you do not want to miss it. I can't believe it is so close and so what we wanted to do today was to go back and

listen to some of our favorite moments from If Gathering last year. We're going to hear from

Bianca Olaf, Jeda Edwards, and Sadie Roberson.. You guys this event is one of my favorite things that I get to be a part of and this year we're going to be coming together in Dallas and we're going to be live streaming to all of you in your places. So if you have not signed up yet, you do not want to miss this. In fact it's shaping up to be my favorite

if gathering ever. So if 2021 is happening we are coming to you live from

Dallas, Texas, virtually,

and we want you to grab your digital passes

and grab your people and meet in your living rooms

in safe ways, outdoors, you can put it up on a screen somewhere.

Be creative.

And what we're going to talk about is even if, even if the worst happens, even if it continues

to get darker in the world, even if it continues to be difficult, we don't lose hope and honestly all of us are craving hope we

need hope and for some of you you are going to be sending out a lifeline

through this you need to be with your people and you need to remember that God is in control and that there is a plan. He has not turned

his back on us, that there is a story that we get to be a part of, whether our circumstances

are easy and comfortable and great, or our circumstances are impossible and comfortable and great or our circumstances are

impossible and tragic and difficult. We are able to keep following him and be

faithful in the midst of both because our God does not move, our hope is not

forded, and we have a job to do. So do not be discouraged.

Sign up right now. If 2021.com and you are going to love hearing from some of my friends from last year.
