Jesus calls us to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" and promises that everything else will be added. Unfortunately, we can tend to focus on the "everything else will be added" part more than the kingdom of God. What if we did seek His kingdom first and trust that He will take care of the rest? What if we did put "first things first" in every area of our lives?
That's what this podcast is all about! We look forward to making what's most important, a relationship with Jesus, the most approachable thing in our lives.
Follow along to put First Things First this year!
