This is part two in our series leading up to Penecost.

Did you know that Easter traditionally is celebrated in the liturgical calendar for seven weeks? It all culminates on Pentecost, which this year is May 31st, 2020.

So in keeping with this amazing season our team member Stephen Carter has given us some great reflections. We will post these throughout the week leading up to the last Feast of Easter, Pentecost. Take it away Stephen!

In case you missed the first one, you can go back and read it here.

How much are you willing to trust God if you really gave these things to him and what would it look like?

How Bootcamp NW helps me and others is by revealing & laying these down before God, trusting him wholly by sharing our stories...of triumph and failure. God’s reflections in our dull lives bring hope and inspiration for others to take the next step of faith, God’s Secret Sauce.
