Connecting with God makes a tangible difference in more than just our afterlife. A relationship with God and truly seeking after God within that will lead us in the places that God needs us to go and will lead us to God's peace. To live a life without God means that we miss out on all of that and are stuck instead with merely our own limit set of resources. Pastor Trey, Sister Brandy, Pastor Scott, and Stacy recognize the very human temptation to do things on our own but also our need to repent from that.
