InHabit
Cities are amazing places to live, filled with opportunities, but also their fair share of challenges. This series looks at 1 and 2 Timothy - letters written to a young Christian, leading a large church in the city of Ephesus. We’ll consider the various habits and practices we need to develop if we are to stay grounded and fruitful as we enjoy all that city life has to offer.
