Where It’s At

We offer pre-marriage seminars designed to deliberately help a couple better understand the challenges that will come their way in…

The Suffering of a Child

It is always difficult to understand the ways of God. Impossible, even. This is never more obviously true than when we witness the suffering of a child.

At least, they think they know this, because it has been taught to them in a hundred formal and informal settings, from the classroom to the television.
