The Gospel and the Pandemic By: Beth Holmes
As I write this, we are coming to the end of our fourth week of social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020.

As I sit here while my 3 year old daughter plays in the bathtub, it’s not lost on me that my life could’ve been drastically different, I could have given up this precious opportunity had God not stepped in. My name is Jorden, I’m 25 years…
