Where do you find this resource? (Provide link, contact info, etc.)
Spiritual Life Page
The Department of Spiritual Life helps the GCU community grow in a http://students.gcu.edu/studentlife/spiritual-life.php personal relationship with God through an active faith in Jesus Christ. Explore the GCU Spiritual Life page. In 50-75 words, describe 3-4 resources found on this page that you feel may be useful to you.
The three resources I feel may be helpful to me would be the pastor’s message, the live chapel, and the prayer requests. Those days when I may feel a little unmotivated, I can refer to the pastor’s message. Currently, I have not found a church I like where I live, so it is refreshing to know I can always view the church service on Mondays at 11:15 am. Everyone can always use a prayer, so I know I can benefit from the prayer request section.
