Embracing God's Story: a Journey of Faith, Trust and Renewal

LaShonda Russell, youth pastor at Grace Mennonite Fellowship shares on Embracing God's Story: a Journey of Faith, Trust and Renewal.

Bio: I am a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. I stand in the truth that He is King, guiding my every step and illuminating my path with His grace. In my role as a youth pastor, I am privileged to shepherd young hearts towards a deeper understanding of God's unfailing love and the timeless wisdom found within the pages of Scripture. Among all the amazing Biblical texts, Ecclesiastes holds a special place in my heart, its profound reflections on the complexities of life, resonate deeply with my soul. In my spare time, I find peace and inspiration in the beauty of the great outdoors. I am continually reminded through creation of His divine handiwork that surrounds us.
