Title: Finding Your Vision, Dream, and Destiny: A Journey with Gary Lavender
Summary: In this month's Men's Bible Study, Gator talks about how hope is like an anchor for our souls. Just like a boat needs an anchor to stay steady, our souls need hope to stay strong, especially when things get rocky. He shares how Jesus is the rock to hold onto and keep us safe. Gator reminds us that God is always with us, no matter the storm, and we'll always find strength in Him. He also tells some personal stories that show how God's love and care are like an anchor in his life. Remember that even when life is tough, hope will help us stay grounded.
