We all face temptations on a regular basis. Some of these enticements are fairly easy for us to turn away from. Others can often take hold of our hearts and dictate our actions. Eventually, giving in to temptations can cause a variety of challenges and "storms" in our lives. But what if I could prepare for the struggle before I faced it? Would that help me say "no" to that temptation? How do I get myself prepped for the temptation "storm" I see on the horizon?

Join us this fall at Flagstone as we discover how to stormproof our lives and our faith so that we can be better prepared for the storms that come our way.
