Back to EpisodesGoing Deeper - How David Walked with God
Description
Does your faith often feel like two steps forward and one step back? You pray and read the Bible for a few days in a row, but then life gets busy, or you sin, and then you feel like you have to start all over. In this program, Chip will guide us to a new perspective as he picks up in his series, Going Deeper. Discover how to develop a rhythm of meeting with God from the example King David modeled for us.
