Built Different | Nick Nilson | Lakewood Church Service

How do I build a life that survives the storms of life? Building an unshakable life requires shifting your foundation from shifting sands—like career, money, or public opinion—to the solid rock of Jesus Christ. By hearing and obeying God’s Word, you create a spiritual bedrock that ensures stability. The benefit is a resilient spirit that remains standing even after the most difficult seasons of loss or transition. 🙏 Need Prayer?
