The Good News Is Still The Best News
What does it look like to center our lives around the good news of the gospel in a world full of noise? That’s the question shaping Refresh 26 — and it’s the heartbeat of this week’s episode of Dreamers to Doers.
Sarah Birkbeck and the Refresh team take you behind the scenes of how this year’s theme, The Good News, was born. From late-night text messages and moments with their kids to Scriptures and visuals that sparked fresh vision, you’ll hear how God has been leading them into a theme that feels both simple and profound.
