Choose Character Over Comfort | Ep. 225 | Friday, December 15, 2023
Sometimes becoming good doesn’t feel very good, but suffering can connect our pain to God’s Word. Seeking comfort from anyone or anything other than God will only be a temporary fix. God’s Word is a priceless treasure because it teaches us the truth of our very good God, the eternal comfort He offers and how much He loves us.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Becoming Jesus-Shaped | Ep. 223 | Wednesday, December 13, 2023
How do you define good? God’s definition of good is anything that shapes us to look more like Jesus. His love will never leave us and He will walk with us through the pain of “not good” things. When we remember that, we can respond with gratitude and joy in any circumstance.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive
