Is our world on the brink of turmoil, and more importantly, are we spiritually ready to face it? Join us as we explore the growing anger and frustration in society and the critical need for spiritual and mental preparedness. Drawing inspiration from the biblical story of Jeremiah and his prophetic call to “run with horses,” we reflect on the rich Christian history of our nation and the consequences of moving away from our faith. We’ll also delve into significant global political issues, such as economic instability and international tensions, and discuss how spiritual readiness and faith are essential for navigating these tumultuous times.
