Personal Stories
A few years ago, I was overwhelmed by anxiety and a deep sense of purposelessness, feeling like everything in my life was falling apart. On a whim, I joined a Bible study group, unsure of what I was looking for. What I found was a community of people who were honest about their struggles and a book that spoke to mine. One verse—“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)—stood out and slowly began to quiet the chaos inside me. Studying the Bible regularly didn’t change my circumstances overnight, but it transformed how I faced them, giving me peace, perspective, and a sense of hope I hadn't known before.
"Be still and know that I am God."

A Place to Grow
Growth is a natural and essential part of life, whether it refers to personal development, the progress of a plant, or the expansion of a community or business. It often involves change, learning, and adapting to new challenges. While growth can sometimes be difficult or uncomfortable, it usually leads to improvement and greater strength over time. True growth requires patience, effort, and the willingness to move beyond one’s comfort zone.
