Who are we?
Being a Christian is tough isn’t it? By the way, it is okay for you to admit it! Everyone feels it; everyone, though to a different extent, struggles.

Why only paddle?
Think back to those holidays at the beach as a child. You’d be standing in the sand with the waves gently wrapping around your feet.
