GOD’S GIFTS IN TIMES OF CRISIS

GOD’S GIFTS IN TIMES OF CRISIS by Andrew Hess for Core Christianity One of the most shocking discoveries many people make early on in their Christian journey is that Christians have not been given special immunity from the hardships, troubles, and difficulties of life.

It released way back in 1999. I recall enjoying the movie and its underlying message — One’s “reality” is not necessarily what you think it is.
