You are One Voice Away from a Different Life | Shannon O'Dell

The voices around you are shaping the choices within you. In Week 2 of Voices & Choices, Pastor Shannon O’Dell unpacks a powerful truth: wrong voices lead to wrong choices, but the right voices can change your future.

From the story of Samson to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, this message reveals how friendships, influences, and relationships can either pull you backward or push you toward God’s best.

You are one voice away from the wrong life… but you’re also one choice away from a better one. It’s time to evaluate who you’re walking with, standing with, and sitting with.
