Stay the Course

If you feel like the culture is shifting under your feet and you re powerless to get it back on track, you re not alone. Many of us see the powerful undercurrents of history that are taking place in front of our eyes. In response, some people sink into hopelessness while others struggle desperately to remain strong in their faith. Yes, the culture is drifting, but God's presence, truth, grace, and power haven t changed at all. He is just as real, just as strong, and just as loving as ever. Even in frightening times, we can learn to stay focused on God's direction for our lives. He is the true north, and he will guide us. Pastor Choco De Jesús offers real hope and practical solutions. He clearly identifies the pressures of the culture, acknowledges our human tendency to drift, and provides biblical encouragement to stay the course in our walks with God. Combining powerful stories with surprising insights and sound biblical principles, Pastor Choco helps us discover God's path and follow it through good times and bad, always drawing closer to Him.

Choco De Jesús is senior pastor of New Life Covenant Church. He founded and directs New Life Family Services, a nonprofit that operates a homeless shelter for women with children.
