Can You Just Sit with Me?

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“As pastors, we have walked alongside many people through seasons of transition and grief. That's why we are thrilled about Natasha Smith's book Can You Just Sit with Me? This book emphasizes the transformative power of empathy, human connection, and the comforting presence of Jesus during times of grief. Natasha expertly weaves real-life examples throughout the book, making it both relatable and inspiring. Additionally, practical exercises and reflection questions at the end of each section empower readers to apply what they have learned to their everyday lives and relationships. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to improve their relationships, deepen their empathy and understanding, and find comfort in the love of Jesus.”

The Daniel Fast for Spiritual Breakthrough

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“had a target date of March 2008 to be in our building. We knew that was a stretch, but we believed God for that date. During our fast, we discovered that the building crews were well ahead of schedule and we would actually celebrate Christmas 2007 in our new facility. God showed up in a big way, and 1,000 people were added to our services when we moved in. We believe it was a direct result of our focused prayer and fasting that God was able to do what even the construction crews could not explain. We have since made it a practice to do an annual fast, and we encourage our congregation to join with us.”
