Have you ever felt so overwhelmed and discouraged that taking one more step felt impossible? Through the short but insightful book of Haggai, God challenges us to take courage and trust in His promises. With His help, we can thrive even in exile. Come discover how His presence can give us the strength to persevere—even when life is hard.
