WATCH: SM Lockridge’s Spirit-Filled Words Spark Hope Amid Despair
With the COVID-19 pandemic, political unrest and social injustice rampant, it’s easy to feel discouraged or anxious. Trying times challenge what you believe, especially when what you see doesn’t match what you know. But remember, in times of uncertainty or seeming defeat—”Sunday’s a-comin’!”
