“Shut up” was one of those phrases growing up that we were NOT allowed to say, but how many times have I said that to God? In this message from this past Sunday at Element Church, we talked about the myth that we should “Let our conscience be our God.” We said, “The Word of God, not the way I feel,…

Typically when we pray, especially when we pray about things that are causing us fear, we pray for God to remove those things. We ask God to rescue us, heal us, protect us and change o…
