					<description><![CDATA[<p>Many people turn to the phrase everything happens for a reason when life falls apart. It sounds reassuring, and it suggests that suffering fits into a bigger plan. However, comfort can quickly turn into harm. When spoken to someone who is grieving, this phrase can feel dismissive. It can minimize pain. It can imply that God caused [&#8230;]</p>

Pastor Nicole starts with a simple commitment: to put Jesus Christ at the center. Not a party, a platform, or a nation. Just Jesus. Throughout Scripture, Jesus consistently refused to align Himself [&#8230;]</p>
