Hey y’all, my name is Miranda Adams! A lot of you may not know me, but I am a D-Group leader for junior high girls here at Heritage. My good friend Audrey Sollie and I began hanging out with the youth group last year, and we have since then grown …
Hello again everyone! I am back to write another blog about the craziness that has been my life over these past few months. As most of you know, February 10, 2013 is a date I will always remember. If you don’t know, that was the day a tornado ripped through …
Psalms 82:3-4 tells us to “defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Though I often subconsciously view certain verses in the Bible as suggestions, this verse God has …

I have recently been reading a book called “Multiply” by Francis Chan. (Francis is one my favorite authors/pastors.) He has an intense passion for disciple-making, and there is an entire study that accompanies this “program,” for lack of a better term. I see “Multiply” as more of a catalyst though. …
