Today we’re diving into a message all about moving from surface-level connection to deep, life-changing fellowship. Todd kicks it off with a hilarious story from his mission school days—where a simple cultural greeting turned into a beard-kissing, head-bumping adventure in Central Asia. But it’s more than a funny story. It’s a picture of how stepping into someone else’s world can …

Pastor Steve challenges us to have Open Eyes in regards to the spiritual reality we live in.
