In this short "MORE" series clip, several Journey community members name what "more" means to them. One participant describes giving as an opportunity to trust God beyond finances amid a job change, and another speaks of trusting God with finances and hoping to see him revive. Children and adults name simple commitments, including a lemonade stand and recycling, and one family stands together across three generations making a two-year commitment.
The conversation,
in their words.
