And yet God’s word still stands, telling us: Something good is about to happen.

Touré Roberts unpacks the deeper truth behind Jeremiah 29:11 — one of scripture’s most well-known promises. It wasn’t spoken in comfort — it was spoken in crisis.

For this Walk It Out Wednesday service, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Dr. Val, and Pastor Don Johnson gather the family of The House for a much-needed conversation on something we often overlook — the health of our souls.

Our soul is our mind, will, and emotions. It’s the very essence of who we are. Like a sycamore tree, which the Bible shows us, can grow in any condition, puts its roots deep in water, and regenerates itself, our souls...
