It is about becoming more fully who we were created to be—and allowing that deeper sense of belovedness to change the way we live, love, and move through the world. 💛 # Dont miss this week’s Table Talk with our writer and dear friend, James Blay! ✨✨✨ James is the former Vice President of Administration at the Liberia Baptist Theological Seminary. He now serves as the Coordinator for Children’s Programs God who moves through silence and song, through stillness and stirring— teach us to listen for the rhythm of Your grace.
