## Resource

What "weeds" do you find yourself continuously battling in your life? In this week's rebooted message, Pastor Jim Ramos dives into the critical steps of identifying and removing the "weeds" that stop us from living a life full of purpose and growth. Using wisdom from Galatians 5 and the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13, he discusses how to aggressively root out sin and intentionally plant seeds that lead to a fruitful, God-honoring life. This is a reboot of a message from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men in McMinnville, Oregon. Want to protect your marriage?
