Rev. Gary Pope-Sears begins his message by reminding us it's okay to not be okay! He reminds us that the peace and hope we receive from God doesn't keep us from experiencing hardships and struggles, but instead, like athletic training, produces endurance and spiritual strength. Gary encourages us to commit to "discipleship training" through prayer, Bible Study, fellowship, and service.
