“As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” – 1st Thessalonians 1: 1.
We discover “The More & More,” with our new post and Unearthed Interview featuring our conversation with Joe Wirick.
Joe describes his journey from finding Jesus through the ministry of Young Life and seeing God move powerfully at camps to leading with his future wife Lauren. But God was calling Joe to a deeper commitment that involved laying down idols, deliverance and surrender.
Watch and listen. This is a power story of Gods loving pursuit and Joe’s decision to allow Jesus to set on the throne will challenge and encourage you.
Joe’s yes is affecting generations.
