So That: Living with Focus and Intention

Welcome to Son Country Community Church Podcast! In today’s conversation, Bill, Dennis, and Dave dive into two simple but powerful words: “so that.” While not directly a Bible phrase, this way of thinking brings clarity, focus, and purpose to every area of life.

From martial arts training to Bible study, we explore how finishing the sentence “I do this so that…” can reveal our true intentions, sharpen our focus, and deepen our walk with Christ.

Join us as we talk about living with intention, moving from distraction to direction, and creating a life centered on knowing Jesus more.
