I’ve grown up in church my family and I were always treated poorly, but Pastor Doug Lowery, his wife, and others made us family. He taught us how to be disciples, has different programs to help with marriage, and grief. I appreciate him because I could talk with him and he always lends an ear to me and listens just like a dad does with their daughter. I’m forever grateful for him, he’s the best pastor I’ve ever had.

Last year was probably one of the toughest years I’ve been through in quite a while. In a four month time span, our beloved family dog passed away from cancer, my long-time job was eliminated and I was sent to a different division at the company, then my mother passed away suddenly, and I resigned at work. Life felt like it was spinning out of control and I could do nothing to stop it. However, through the grace of God, a lot of tears and questioning, plus a TON of prayer, I made it through the darkest moments. I am beyond grateful for WBGL and the consistent connection to prayer, worship music, and encouragement to find peace during the pain and confusion of life.
