Title: When You Feel Weak (1)
Series: Crossroads

Hey, whether you are joining us on one of our campuses or online from somewhere around the world, just really honored to have you with us today. We're actually starting a new series today called Crossroads and the title has it's got, it's got an obvious, and it's got an obscure element to it.
