"Sitting on empty. In some seasons.
Even with daily seeking.
Even though I’m reading the Word. Praying." @suzlaff

Southern Baptists gave $286.1 million through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering® and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®! 🙌
That includes a record $212.5 million for international missions and $73.6 million for North American missions.
Your generosity helps missionaries face challenges and continue sharing the gospel among the most unreached peoples and places.
Thank you for your heart for the nations—and for holding the ropes with your support!

I pray this article, excerpted from Facing Loss (the book), will help anyone seeking to do the hard work by digging through grief in the context of gospel hope.
Allow the Gospel to engulf your grief!

I’ve always heard it said that the local church is an institution that does not exist for itself…but for those not yet in the church.
Thank you, @pastorchrisbell and @3CircleChurch leadership, for leading with clear mission and vision for 2027 and beyond!
