Hey there! Here's a Ton of Resources!

Above all in this tough time keep your community close; in times of need it's easy to be spiritually isolated from our community. We know that everyone is looking to keep growing their faith right now. However, not all of us learn and grow in the same way. We want to do our best to make sure that everyone has a bunch of different resources to keep their relationship with Jesus growing! Below you will find a bunch of different kinds of resources for all kinds of people. There's everything from free book links to download, websites, apps, podcasts, Youtube channels, and much more!

The Bible!

There is no substitute for Scripture; although there are a ton of good things on this list, they should all supplement our personal prayer life. A lot of times we find no interest in Scripture because we're reading in the wrong place as it relates to our current life. First, be Spirit led and ask God where He wants you to read in Scripture. Also, many Bibles will have a topical index in the back or feel free to search stories, verses, etc. about a specific topic!
