There’s a moment most people hit eventually. You’ve been grinding. Showing up. Doing what you know how to do. And it’s not working. Not a little slow. Nothing. No traction. No payoff. Just effort disappearing into the dark. That’s where this story starts. A group of guys go out to fish, something they’ve done their…
It was still dark when Mary got there. She wasn’t coming to celebrate. She wasn’t coming to see an empty tomb or meet a risen Savior. She was coming with spices and oils to do the final, heartbreaking work of honoring a dead body. She loved Jesus enough to show up in the dark to…
