“It” is a powerful force in our lives. But rarely do we stop to ask the question: what is it? In this uplifting message, Pastor Mike shows us the incredible influence we have in the world around us once we understand what it is. It is the power to change people’s lives by building them up instead of tearing them down—becoming a construction sight instead of a destruction zone.
