The Wells We Inherit
Description
We talk about "digging another well" to sustain our faith in the dry seasons. But what does that even look like?
Pastor Barbie gives a practical demonstration of what it looks like for her to "dig a well" from Scripture, some of the tools she uses, and some of the things God's highlighted to her as she prepared for this week's sermon.
You don't have to be a Bible scholar. She shows how honest questions, some tools, and the help of the Holy Spirit lead her on a journey to find out what God is saying.
Digging a spiritual well means creating room to accept, notice, and share God’s blessings.
