Western Seminary's Revive '21 Keynote Message

A teaching that takes you on a journey through the life and legacy of Naomi from Ruth chapters 1-4. Walk with her through pain, loss, lament, and help, so that you can ultimately find hope and healing. This was a tender and personal message I gave for suffering saints. It was given in deep weakness and pain but covered in prayer and delivered in the Spirit’s power. I pray it will be a blessing to you. Many prayers for my fellow suffering saints.
