City Rev Life Podcast

The Bible has a lot to say about rest and its importance. In this episode of the City Rev Life podcast, we dive into the Word to discover what God wants us to know about rest and why we should hold a level of priority of it over our lives. Listen in!

On this episode of "Verses That Aren't Verses" we talk about the phrase that is often thought to be in the Bible "Be true to yourself".  Pastor Justin and Pastor Craig will talk about it's true origin and discuss the many dangers of this self-centered philosophy.
