As You Trust

Trust. For some of us, that’s not easy. We’ve been hurt, betrayed, or abused, and we find it really hard to trust people. We get that. But, what about trusting God? We struggle to keep control, even knowing that’s not what’s best for us. Pastor Andy Funes is going to explain how incredible our life can be As You Trust.
