Steadfast is a project that deals with the struggles and challenges that are sure to come, that we face in life. But in Christ Jesus, we have a healer, a provider, a comforter, and one who can calm any storm that comes our way. A God who has all power and loves us unconditionally. Storms are a reality, and they do come. But if we say yes to The Lord, and stand strong and believe in all of His promises, we do have a God who can and will deliver us out of the storm. We must be Steadfast.
