Lakeside just wrapped up our Spring Spiritual Emphasis week with guest speaker Dr. David Kennebrew from Freedom Fellowship Church in Atlanta!

Our students learned how to fight the battle of our spirt vs. our flesh. When we trust fully in God and what he has done for us, only then can we win against sin. It’s not easy. After all, sin is something that always trips us up. But we know that if we don’t give up, there is more to be found in God than anywhere else!

Thank you for pouring into our students this week, Dr. Kennebrew!
