Be with Me | Built For This | Andrew Farhat

Following Jesus doesn’t mean life stops being difficult. Where do we turn when faith includes both joy and discouragement? In “Be with Me,” Pastor Andrew Farhat explores Jesus’ invitation to spend time with him before being sent out to serve. Discover how Scripture, prayer, and stillness draw us closer to Jesus, sustain us through suffering, and shape the way we love others.
