In this message, Pastor Brent Weide shared a heartfelt story of his walk with his wife, Sarah. Initially overwhelmed by the garbage and death surrounding him on their country road, it wasn’t until he knelt to tie his shoe that he noticed the new sprouts of life amidst the trash. This simple act of humility allowed him to see God’s promise of renewal and hope even in the most unlikely places. Our journey with God often requires a shift in perspective, especially amidst life’s chaos and challenges.
