In today's message we'll take a look at a story of three characters who were trying to do what they believed to be right, but found themselves in a tense situation where things got, shall we say, heated.

Superhuman 02 - Bread for the Hungry
30/04/2017 Duração: 44minWhen life feels out of balance do we typically look for ways to cut our losses, or ways to be generous?

We'll also hear about life-change happening in Laurel because the people of Element have been generous.Support the show (https://elementchurchlaurel.com/give)
