Flourishing After Loss:
Theme for the Course

SHEPHERD CHURCH

Our theme is the word "FLOURISH," based on Psalm 92. We're here to help you thrive, grow and bear fruit, rather than just survive. This is done by being firmly planted in God's word and plan for your life. Here you will learn to flourish amidst life's challenges, growing in your faith, and living victoriously.

Video Interview w/Kay Warren

SPECIAL GUEST: KAY WARREN

We will show a short video clip from an interview I did recently with Kay Warren about her experience with grief and loss. Kay is an author, grief and mental health advocate, co-founder of Saddleback Church and the founder of "Hope for Brighter Tomorrows."
