As the year at His Church Leadership College was wrapping up, I felt to challenge the students to not just finish the year by scraping by, but to finish in the overflow of God. We spoke about the areas of their lives where they felt that needed to experience a greater overflow, and how this would carry them through the end of the year while setting them on the right path for the new year.

His Church Family, this Christmas let’s choose the GREATEST GIFT and all other things necessary will be added to our lives as we journey together through the darkest of times!

As we start to enter the final month of this year, I can’t help but reflect on the greatest and toughest moments of 2023. Reflecting through a year can get one thinking about many encounters, events and laughs in between it all, but for me there was a specific theme that God seemed to have put on repeat.
