Loves to Try - Embracing Change: For a Time
the Church Podcast
Focus: Everything has a season, a time. Seeing things this way frees us to let go and to embrace new things.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Loves to Try - Embracing Change: New Thinking
the Church Podcast
Focus: Letting go of how the world tells you to think and what to want is part of the transformation that God brings about in your life as He replaces the world's values with His own.

And yet, as God transforms the way you think, your life and choices display something new for you that is different from your “old ways”. Romans 12:1-2
