RVVL : Like a Rock | Connor Checketts
Hosted by Connor Checketts · EN
Like a Rock explores the foundation of who people are. Why they believe what they believe and how those beliefs propel them to build beautifully. Taken from Helaman 5:12, the name ushers back to “the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, that ye must build your foundation”. We believe that a foundation built on that rock cannot fall. Join us, every week, for “Like a Rock”.
