The Heart is the Place of Encounter | TGP Episode 164 (A Season of Celebrating)

Beth Davis and Jenna Guizar share their perspectives on how and why you should join (or start!) a small group. Whether you have had positive or negative experiences in the past, the Lord is doing a new thing RIGHT NOW. In this episode we talk all about the heart being the place of encounter with God. If you aren't sure where to even begin, begin by looking at the God-Man on the cross who died for you. And honestly lay out everything that is inside of your heart. That's where He wants to meet you.

One of the most important things to us at Blessed is She (and in the Catholic Church) is the Word of God. Scripture nourishes our daily lives, so we read it to learn and listen to the sound of His voice every single day. Let's talk all about how we read the Word, why it matters, and what to do when it gets hard. This season of the Gathering Place is all about our Core Values at BIS, one of which is the Word!
